I always thought Bolo in Bloodsport looked quite cute and cuddly for a baddie.

The range of styles on offer is good though, and that scene with the coin and Arabian guy in the hotel- classic.

I pretty much had a free reign of what I watched too. I was 11 when I first saw Robocop. It came in the post from the Britannia music and film club (whatever happened to them) in the morning and me and my dad were watching it during our lunch an hour later.
The only bit I had to cover my eyes for was when Bob was snorting coke off that hooker's boobs, everything else was deemed OK?

Not sure what to do when my little one is older. I'm all for showing him stuff, but my wife isn't too sure. I mean he took his first steps whilst i was watching A Serbian Film (on my laptop with headphones though)! See what happens I suppose. Stick with In The Night Garden for the time being.

I have an 8 and 5 year old and I know they couldn't cope with anything remotely strong. So while I don't hide my 18 dvds anywhere out of their reach (as mentioned previously on another thread my Dawn of the Dead remake sits next to the Wiggles) they would be put off by the cover anyway.

Of course I watched stuff above my certificate level when I was a kid but I saometimes regretted it. The kid scratching at the window in Salems Lot freaked me out for years and the knock knock knocking of the hook in 'The Fog' was scarey too. But then thats the power of these images and I think the kids generally respect their gutt feeling of whether to watch it or not. I certainly wouldn't say 'hey look at this this is cool' if I knew it would upset them.

The first film I can recall they shrinked away from was the original Batman movie (Adam West one) where the shark bites his foot!

My nine year old girl absolutely loves District 9. I would never let them watch any of my more extreme titles though.

Yeah That bit in Salems lot is spine tingling. The only film I remember watching and really fucking me over was watching Pet Sematary at aged 10 and Zelda, she traumatized me so much it took me till I was 23 to watch it again (i'm only 26 now) I also saw a episode of Freddys Nightmares at way to young an age and it was an episode when this woman has to babysit at this house and they have a deranged daughter locked up in the basement. I think if I saw Mario Bava's 'The Drop Of Water' at a young age that would have creeped me out as well

Yeah definitely add to the Salem's Lot window scene. Really creepy.

That tv movie had some of the most scariest vampires--also the scene where the teacher's house guest is in the rocking chair and says: "loooook at me teacha! Look at me!!"
and when they are killing Barlow and the light in the room is swinging and you can see the vampires crawling towards the kid.


Robocop didnt make my top twenty but its high up there. Its not a scientific list anyway.

Salem's Lot was something I saw pretty young, not sure when, but I was definitely at primary school and yes, that window scene was the talk of the school yard the next day.

I've not seen it since so my memory is hazy, but I remember being absolutely shit-scared when Barlow rises up from the floor in the kitchen. Is this an actual scene? Or something I've made up in my mind? Anyways it really made me nervous about dark shapes on the floor in my bedroom.

As for censoring stuff from my son. Well I'll come to that hurdle when it rears its head. It depends how he develops as a person really.

Yeah that's a great scene too.
The table starts to shake and the light flickers--as a family is talking to the priest (about their kid's fascination with monsters ha)
and this weird black shape busts in through a window and rises from the corner of the kitchen floor.
Then he turns around and kills the kid's parents.

The priest has to trade himself so the kid is allowed to escape.
James Mason is pretty creepy in it too.

Robocop > Total Recall
Cyborg > Any other JCVD film

My dad and I went to the theater to see 'Cyborg' when it was first released. I was 8 years old. Been in love with the idea of the post-apocalypse ever since.

There is a serious lack of JCVD in my film viewing history . . .

I couldn't quite narrow it down to 20. This is the order that I thought of as I was typing and minus the shuffling of a couple of titles, they seem to pretty much be in order.

Mulholland Drive (Lynch)
The Thing (Carpenter)
The Shining (Kubrick)
Blade Runner (Scott)
Solaris (Tarkovsky)
Dawn Of The Dead (Romero)
Apocalypse Now (Coppola)
Deep Red (Argento)
Short Cuts (Altman)
For A Few Dollars More (Leone)
Pulp Fiction (Tarantino)
Videodrome (Cronenberg)
Zombie (Fulci)
No Country For Old Men (Coen)
Goodfellas (Scorsese)
Serbian Film (Spasojevic)
Warriors (Hill)
80 Blocks From Tiffany’s (Weis)
Gozu (Miike)
Santa Sangre (Jodorowsky)
City Of God (Meirelles & Lund)
Damnation (Tarr)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hooper)
Pusher I-III (Refn)
Ran (Kurosawa)
Hard Boiled (Woo)
Eastern Promises (Cronenberg)
Evil Dead 2 (Raimi)
Amores Perros (Inarritu)
Irreversible (Noe)
Shogun Assassin (Houston)
The Exorcist (Friedkin)
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (Miller)
The Big Lebowski (Coen)
The Hit (Frears)

Think I might try to do a full 100 one day.

Ask me tomorrow and it'll probably be a different list. In no particular order;

Battle Royale
Dawn of the dead
Superman
Raiders of the lost ark
Dark water
Ju dou
Oldboy
Apocalypse now
Pulp fiction
Leon
Nil by mouth
Totoro
Robocop
Ravenous
Deliverance
Jaws
The Conversaion
Tremors
Blood simple

OK, thats 19 of them. Trying to pick a 20th title is frankly too much of a struggle.

I like animated, action and romantic movies. So my favorite are;

Baby's Day out
Kung Fu Panda 1
Kung Fu Panda 2
Toy story 1
Toy story 2
Toy story 3
Titanic
Transformer
Harry Potter Series.
Cars 1
Cars 2
Final Destination
