^ Moon is fantastic. Speaking as a total SF nerd, it is one of my favorite movies of the last 5 years.

Recent movie watching:

Friends with Benefits. I found this surprisingly watchable - there are some genuinely funny bits, especially around gender stereotypes - Woody Harrelson was hilarious.

Chinatown. Since it's been discussed so much lately, thought it was worth a revisit. This is one that is standing the test of time - great dialogue, great acting, just an overall perfect film.

Blade Runner. I watched theatrical release for the first time in more than 15 years. It really made me appreciate the director's cut - I found the voice-over jarring, and felt like they wound up telling us things that it's better to figure out on our own, or be left as a mystery. The happy ending was weak too.

never saw blade runner. when i added alien on netflix it suggested balde runner, so i added it.

I tried to watch blade runner once but I got bored and I was distracted playing a video game on my laptop or something. I really should watch it and eliminate any distractions to give it an honest go. Seems I'd like it given how much I love sci-fi.

I'll never understand the hype behind Red October. It was in no way a bad film, in fact I rather like the movie, I just don't understand why its "classic" status is so universal.

Four words explain the lasting appeal of The Hunt for Red October: Sean Connery's "Russian" accent.
