Tbh I didn't know Gosling had a performance like that in him.

I'm pretty sure @Alio wore driving gloves and I drove around with a tooth pick in my mouth for about 6 months after we saw this film.

And his mate has the scorpion jacket.

watched it once as a teen about 20 years ago...Grace Jones was a very odd but beguiling fantasy. Great film in my memory, let us know how it holds up.

Yes a very strange Grace I will certainly let you know how it shapes up

Children of men 9/10 ?

Cypher 3/10 ?

How so?

can't resist...

Alien 9/10 (prob a top 20 this)
Blade Runner 8/10 (Final Cut version....top 50)
Moon 7/10 (reminds me of an Asimov story)
Solaris 7/10 (if you mean the Tarkovsky original...4/10 for Clooney's effort)
2001 10/10 (top 1)
The Thing 6/10 (due a rewatch, only seen it once and that were about 20 years ago)
Repo Man 6/10 (ditto)
Silent Running (not seen but have it on DVD so soooon)
Event Horizon 7/10 (great atmosphere)
Upstream Colour (never heard of this...on the watchlist it goes!)
Brazil 5/10 (gave me a headache)
Lifeforce (another new one for me...sounds fun!)
Source Code (not seen it but another one already on the DVD shelf)
Cold Souls (not heard of this either, decent tip that)
Cypher 3/10 (started off well...shame)
Serenity (got it on DVD, haven't seen yet as thought maybe I should go through Firefly first)
Children of Men 9/10 (top 20)
Pitch Black 5/10 (bang-average...is Riddick any better?)
Contact 6/10 (suffers from the same problem all 2001-pretenders do...too much emotion/focus on relationships)
Ghost in the Shell 5/10 (too hectic)
Westworld 7/10 (70's sci-fi is so beautifully dystopic)
The Terminator 8/10 (still a thrill)
The Fifth Element 7/10 (silly, daft and fun)
Gattaca (not seen yet, but have it so also sooon)
Primer 7/10 (clever take on time travel that)
12 Monkeys 7/10 (bonkers but darker and more interesting than Brazil)



Some of my sci-fi favourites which maybe you've not seen, all worth at least a 7/10: Forbidden Planet, Village of the Damned (1960 version), Quatermass and the Pit (1967), The Andromeda Strain (1971), Clockwork Orange, Soylent Green, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (1978), The Black Hole, Altered States, 1984 (John Hurt version), D.A.R.Y.L, The Quiet Earth, Enemy Mine, Transformers (1986), Akira, The Abyss, Fire in the Sky, The Arrival, Cube (ignore the sequels), Dark City, X-Files (1998 movie), Save the Green Planet, The Man from Earth, District 9, Pandorum, The Fourth Kind, Errors of the Human Body, Edge of Tomorrow

Dans ma peau.Quite a difficult subject covered quite well.

I'm trying to learn German and was told watching some German films with subtitles might help me get an ear for the accent.
Yesterday I watched: Blood Glacier, Downfall, Cargo, and The Wave.

Got Goodbye Lenin on the list, can anyone else recommend any good ones? Any film buffs/Germans know any?

Got to be The Lives Of Others. One of the best films ever.

Also, once you've got through your list, try The Edukators, and The Counterfeiters. Wouldn't bother with The Baader Meinhof Complex though, too long and not very interesting.

Germany are well known for making some top quality films, but has there ever been any decent German TV series? Seems it's all Scandi stuff, France also, but not much from around the rest of Europe.

I'd put this top of your list mate. Most versions over here have been dubbed or subtitled , should be able to get the original off the likes of eBay.

It's an incredible film in its own right and rightly won may awards.
