I love all the Star Trek movies. Maybe some slightly less than others but still they are all entertaining. Terminator (1984) (dvd) :star::star::star::star::half: Still waiting for a remastered version to come out on blu ray. Probably my favourite of the series followed closely by Judgement Day. This is such an iconic role for Arnie that it's difficult seeing anyone else in the role. This little low budget film certainly helped launch James Cameron's brilliant career. At almost 30 years old, the movie still manages to keep me riveted to my seat. War of the Worlds (1953) (dvd) :star::star::star::star::half: I've seen this movie dozens of times over the years and it still doesn't fail to captivate me. Based on the HG Wells novel this is a very good adaptation, a cautionary tale especially during the time it was made. While I was watching it I couldn't help but wonder how awesome it would be if they could have gotten Orson Wells to do the voiceover work. I imagine though after his ill-fated broadcast in 1938, he would want to steer very far away from such a project. The cast is good and it's certainly a relief not to have any spoiled superstars, or screaming kids in the cast. Though I enjoyed Spielberg's movie, for me this film was miles ahead.
