Live & Let Die - First Bond I saw at the pictures.

Logan's Run - Saw that at the pictures and Jenny Agutter stuck in my mind.

Westworld - Saw that with my dad and got in under age as it was an AA certificate.

The Phantom Tollbooth - Remember seeing that on telly and is still worth a watch now.

Alien & the Life of Brian - Went to the cinema with a schoolmate and his dad for these two.

The Italian Job - For obvious reasons.

Grease - Queued for ages in the early autumn of '78 a couple of weeks after starting junior high school, and fancying Kim Girling who was in my class and also in the queue. redface

Dracula - The Christpher Lee one where he falls on the big gold cross at the end.

Dark Star always gives me a laugh.
Then you have the movies like Alien, Back To The Future, Duel and the randomness of David Bowie in Labyrinth.

Just about anything with John Mills in. The Family Way, This Happy Breed, and all his war films of course.

Finally, think it's got to be Total Recall. For the three breasts, the Johnny cab, and that weird goblin stomach bloke. That's all. Remember this film as one of the first science fiction (never been a topic I've really been interested in to be honest) that actually grabbed my attention. Say what? They're going to Mars? Coooool.

I saw an unedited version of this (friend of a friend) with more footage at the end of the film where the main mans eyes get disfigured and the other deformed people say along the lines 'you are one of us now'.
Wish I had not recorded over it.

Same as before (Smokey / Cannonball / Ghostbusters / Any River Phoenix film / Bill and Ted etc) but also include:

Top Gun
Cocktail
The Breakfast Club
St.Elmos Fire

These are ones I put on when I want to forget about the world and remember being a kid.
Plus they have ace sound tracks.
