Please do, and let me know what you think

It will take a while though... Currently at Episode II, still have Episode III and then the new sequels + Rogue One to watch

I wish I could Episode III for the first time again. Rogue One is good, fuck the sequels.

Have you seen Solo yet?

Nope. I'm not too keen, although I'll check it out eventually. I'm waiting for the Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone movie, starring Ewan McGregor

Me neither... Han Solo is my favourite Star Wars character, and I'm kind of afraid the spin off will ruin it. Will probably still give it a go though.

When is Obi Wan one coming out?

Well, it was just wishful thinking. The fans really want a Obi-Wan standalone film with Ewan starring, and Ewan said he'd be happy to do it, but nothing is certain yet. Disney will look into milking the franchise in different ways first, I guess.

Such a potential long list.... 

Alien, Aliens, The Thing, ( Kurt Russell ) Terminator, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Dredd, War of The Worlds ( Original ) Predator, Aliens V Predators, Interstellar, Appleseed, Mad Max 1&2, 2001, The Iron Giant

I like a lot of the old Sci Fi films as well, Like Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Dark Star, Silent Running

So many more but trying to make them your all time is tough.. 

Dredd is actually one of my favoute film's

Yea... 

It's got Karl Urban in it... Not that you see his face which for any Dredd fan knows is a must... 

Such a difference between the 2 films... both had good and bad points, and I have known the character since 1977 so enjoyed both for different reasons but the 2nd Dredd for me was just about as close to the character as you are going to get... Also got Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey in it.. I could talk all day and night about Dredds world..

One of the massive criticisms of the film was that he took his hat of. How old are you if you have followed judge dredd since 1977?

Even Stallone said they wasted a good opportunity to do something more with his character... I did enjoy a lot of the film simply because they tried to bring in a lot of the characters from his world and others but because there were so many it was all too rushed... Thank god they are currently invested in 'Mega City One' the series, hopefully Urban will be on board for that as well as he has shown an interest as long as they invest properly in the character..

His helmet... not his hat..  You can't be the most feared street Judge in the Justice Department and expect to be taken seriously if he tries to take down a perp in a trilby...

Nobody agreeing with me here? Lunatics! I've re-watched that movie yesterday. Soooo good. Sarah Snook and Ethan Hawke are incredible in this. 

Will be watching it tomorrow night. Better late than never

Arrival

Just finished watching it. What a great movie.

[Mel81x+]

So many good movies already in here. Here's a list of movies I'd watch again.

1. Robocop (The original). I'd laughably add part 2 in here as well just because the antagonist at the end is one of the better villains in the series.
2. The Thing 
3. Alien/Aliens. Anything after is just icing on the cake and I hear they are circling around for part 5 now.
4. Terminator
5. Blade Runner
6. The Martian
7. Primer - Time travel just fascinates me in general
8. Looper
9. Children of Men
10. Ex Machina

I also watched that weird Russian movie Sputnik and it held itself together so well till it got to the later parts then it just turned from Sci-Fi to pure horror.

Ive never seen Star Wars. I do slightly recall watching one with my Dad when it came out in 2005, but I clearly didn’t pay any interest. 

Am I missing out?

Yes, at least when it comes to the original trilogy! The prequels were important for the backstory of certain events and characters, but those aren't very good movies, objectively. The new sequels were largely a disappointment, although I enjoyed the very last one. Then you also have Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, that was a very good movie too. Solo: A Star Wars Story is another enjoyable one. Then you have The Mandalorian, a live-action series in the Star Wars Universe, which technically can be watched as a standalone show, but a lot will be lost if you're not aware of the characters and events in the Star Wars Universe. All in all, the original trilogy is a must-watch.

Thanks! I think I might eventually start watching them. 
 

Would you watch in the order they were released or in chronological order?
 

One of my best friends can’t believe I’ve never watched them, he’s obsessed!
