Probably a few I've forgotten there, but ask me what my favourite films of the 2000s are, and the list will be a lot shorter.

My favourite movie of all time is from the 80's

Midnight Run

Robert DeNiro at his very best playing a bounty hunter trying to get Charles Grodin across a good part of America, all the time being chased by the FBI, another bounty hunter and the mob money was stolen from. It is a standard 80's buddy movie but the humor and banter is way better than Lethal Weapon, comedy is laugh out loud and the action sequences are fantastic. It also has one hell of an ending after everything the duo have been through.

Love it to this day and never get sick of watching it.

Also like the Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop movies. First 3 Police Academy movies, Big Trouble in Little China, Black Rain, Back to the Future, The Karate Kid, Platoon and way to many others to mention!

-The Shining
-Hellraiser
-A Nightmare on Elm Street
-Poltergeist
-Aliens
-The Thing
-The Evil Dead
-Friday the 13th
