Watching Amistad. For a story so embroiled in American politics there sure are a lot of great British actors in this. Anthony Hopkins, Nigel Hawthorne, Pete Postlethwaite, Peter Firth, Jeremy Northam, we seem to have all current and former presidents and most of the other English-speaking parts too. Morgan Freeman and Matthew McConaughey seem quite alone

Re: Bond. That chase scene at the start is a fantastic introduction to the Bond character. He's chasing a parkour expert, yet keeps up with him through his wits and at some times, brute force. Plus, it's the sequence I always show people to encourage them to buy a blu-ray and hi def TV. The crane sequence is amazing.

Event Horizon: The best film Paul W S Anderson ever made, and I appreciate that doesn't sound like high praise. But for all the flaws that come part and parcel with a supernatural space slasher (as massive a sub-genre as that is), it's pretty darn fun. Sam Neill and Larry Fishburne are the focal stars, but you also get Lucius Malfoy and the 3rd Doctor's son as part of ensemble that go on a salvage mission for a spaceship that has been to hell and back, literally. The gore is pretty self-contained, yet gruesome, and a podcast I listened to straight after watching the film labelled it as The Shining in space. At the end of the day, Paul W S Anderson didn't actually write the film and Mila Jovovich is nowhere near it, so knock yourself out with this one!
