I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!
Classic 1980s absurdist comedy, apparently loosely based on the plot of an earlier film called 'Zero Hour' (edit: yes, with that earlier film released in 1957).
Eminently quotable, with plenty of gags throughout: the most famous, perhaps, being the "don't call me Shirley" gag but I'm also quite partial to the following:
"Nervous?"
"Yes"
"First time?"
"No, I've been nervous plenty of times before ..."

Meet the Parents always has been, and always will be, a huge comfort watch for me. It's just one of those films. It has a great balance of easy-to-watch and cringe inducing moments, and manages to be a little slapstick whilst still feeling grounded. The great cast are all on their A game, with Robert DeNiro, in my opinion, turning in one of his career best performances.
A comedy classic, through and through.

nice little sci fi
Contains spoilers, click to show
has its moments seems to be more about paying homage to some classic sci fi movies but does deliver a very watchable film and i did enjoy the characters and love the fact they give the life form a very normal name good twist as well so kept me watching .

Slimer - there's always one pointless character to ruin the fun
Classic 80s childhood movie
I can still watch this over and over again without flinching. It definitely hails as one of the tops cult movies for the 1980's, it still has charm, comedy, and a decent enough plot to be played on TVs across the globe on a weekly basis. Inspired to watch it now.

Terrifyingly Good
This film is a classic. An excellent example of a sci-fi horror and probably Ridley Scott's best film. The Xenomorph is one of the scariest creatures in film today, everything about it is terrifying and paired with the tense confines of a spaceship, is the stuff of nightmares. There are some fantastic visual effects for the time, great cast performances and who doesn't love Jonesy the cat? One of my all time favourites.

H.R. Giger's designs (3 more)
Great Sfx that stand out even today
The building tension
Some genuine make you jump moments
A cult classic
A great film on so many levels. I love the Alien designs and look of the found spaceship by H.R. Giger. The film is genuinely scary with some iconic scenes. It slowly becomes a game of Alien and mouse aboard a spaceship, providing a claustrophobic setting. If you haven't seen this where have you been?

A classic
This is a brilliant example of Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford at their best. Considering this was made back in 1982, the effects and the whole look of the city still look surprisingly futuristic and not shoddy and outdated. The score really adds to the tension and suspense, and the cast are great. This is one of the few examples where the film is actually better than the source material (Philip K Dick' s short story).

Strong female lead - particularly for the time and place.
Best book "evah"!
This is my favorite book of all time. I reread it every few years and take away something different every time. We recently discussed this at my book group and even though it is a classic that most read in school, everyone loved it. More importantly, though it fostered an engaging conversation as we applied the theme of the story to current day events.
