Wall-E (2008): Gentle–natured cute little recycling robot goes on a mission to find his new hi–tech friend Eve, sent from outer–space, who he encounters while she's visiting Earth to seek out signs of life. Pixar at it's best, with a 'save–the–planet' message.
Iron Giant, The (2000): The Iron Giant follows the incredible adventures of young Hogarth who late one night discovers and befriends an enormous robot that fell from the stars. Magical and moving tale of friendship that'll tug at your heart–strings.
E.T. (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial) (1982): Lovable alien drops in on unsuspecting family and wins the heart of a young boy who goes to any length to protect his newly found friend from the authorities. Heartwarming 80's family classic.
Fan, The (1996): Gil, a pathological baseball fan whose obsession is focused on a Giants all–star outfielder, goes to any length to eliminate all obstacles on his hero's road to stardom. Good enough.
Cape Fear (1991): Tattooed, Bible–quoting, Henry Miller–reading Max Cady spends 14 years in prison for rape, concocting his revenge on the lawyer who made it easy for him to be convicted. Classic nail–biting thriller.
Angel Heart (1987): Set in 1955, New Orleans, a supernatural thriller about a sullen detective Harry Angel who's hired to find a missing person by a shady client with pointy fingernails. Really creepy and really good.
Goodfellas (1990): The lowly, blue–collar side of New Yorks Italian mafia is explored in this crime biopic of wiseguy Henry Hill. Impressive cast and outstanding script – one of those rare times you leave a cinema theatre knowing you've just witnessed something special.
American Psycho (2000): Perhaps I need to read the book, but this just came off as rather stupid satire about a delusional psychotic, completely shallow, investment banker who may or may not be a homicidal maniac. Yawn.
Natural Born Killers (1994): Mickey and Mallory are a modern day 'Bonnie and Clyde' hell–bent on mass murder. Trippy psychedelic, and ultra violent, road trip that highlights the absurdity of television news and tabloid media. Definitely qualifies as a cult classic.
Silence of the Lambs, The (1991): A classic psychological thriller/horror that's probably permanently engraved in the memory of all who've ever seen it. The relationship and dynamics between Dr. Hannibal Lechter and Clarice is quite unforgettable.
