Once in a while a film comes along which is truly special and unique. The concept, acting, script, music, storyline, everything. Deserves all the Oscars and the hype. Kevin Spacey is one of my favourite actors and I'm so glad he did this.

The LOTR films will go down in history and deservedly so. Make sure you watch the extended versions.. the deleted scenes are all fantastic, it's just that they had to be cut due to length.

Fantastic battle scene.

Incredibly poweful and emotional ending to the trilogy. Bring on The Hobbit!

I love the book and John Cusack's my favourite actor.. I've seen 31 of his films and this is the best. Great to watch when you have boy/girlfriend trouble. Rob's such a great character and Jack Black is perfectly cast as Barry too.

Transplanted from England to the not-so-mean streets of Chicago, the screen adaptation of Nick Hornby's cult-classic novel High Fidelity emerges unscathed from its Americanisation, idiosyncrasies intact, thanks to John Cusack's inimitable charm and a nimble, nifty screenplay (co-written by Cusack). ..read more »

Wonderfully unique, unconventional love story. Beautiful and realistic, without all the mushy cliched sloppyness of romantic comedies.

It just screams the 80s. Such nostalgia for me... it's iconic. Ghostbusters 2 is also good.

Another trilogy which will be remembered forever. Appeals to all ages. Personally I think Keira and Orlando are overrated actors but it doesn't really matter because Johnny is so amazing as Jack, and the visuals and the script are fantastic.

Just as good as the first- Bill Nighy as Davy Jones is brilliant!
