The Butterfly Effect
I love the message that this film sends. I've lived a life with many difficulties and bad choices that could be regrets, this film helped me to think about what I might lose if I could really go back and change things - would I be any better off than I am right now??

Dawn Of The Dead
Released during the year of my birth, it's become a family tradition to sit up late with our Mum, after our 'coming of age' and watch the classic zombie film. I think that it's one of the most accidentally hilarious films I've ever seen! That's why it has to make this list. To my brother and I it sort of signifies the moment that we became adults in our Mother's eyes.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
This film sparked a life long interest in the horror genre. Along with Stephen King's 'The Stand' (The book), it showed me how much fun it is to be scared out of your wits!! These days, after many years of horror film refinement, it seems pretty daft!! I must admit that I have yet to sample any of the remakes, other than the 1986 attempt, which was pretty similar, in fact, I wasn't aware that there were so many! Perhaps I'll add a few to my rental list!
