Films the other half should have seen

[fatandwheezing]

I have gradually over the last 3 years been bringing the other half up to speed on what constitutes a proper film.

Some of the films she's caught up on are Star wars - bought for her within a month of getting together, Robocop (which she genuinely thought was going to be a kids film), Predator, and just this weekend, Alien and Aliens.

What others should I make sure she sees?

The Good, the bad and the ugly
Blade Runner
My two favourite films.

Then, if she's still with you - marry her.

It seems that you (and now your OH) like decent Sci Fi stuff.

Allow me to recommend District 9, Monsters, & Children of Men.

Full Metal Jacket
The Fly

A lot of good suggestions there - how did I forget about The Fly????

A few there I haven't seen yet, which will be added to the lovefilm list.

She's seen Transporter 2 and Death Race, and there's nothing will convince her to ever watch Jason Statham again.

Terminator 1 and 2.

Last Tango in Paris
