A Fresh Take On A Classic Character
This movie has been polarizing and I can see why. Some of the creative decisions taken seem odd and feel slightly out of place is a monster movie blockbuster and more as if they belong in an indie art movie. Although I thought that for the most part these decisions worked in the movie's favour. Also, one thing is for sure, it's better than the last Godzilla movie that we got.

A Triumphant Piece Of Punk Pop
American Idiot is a modern classic and 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece and while this doesn't quite reach the heights of those two records, it is still pretty great. The record has it's highlight tracks, but as a whole it is engaging, thought provoking and exciting to listen to. The trio have still got their flair and they prove that they are at the peak of their technical musicianship at this point.

Not made for adults
This film is totally made for children, it's incredibly cheesy and a little bit silly at times. The music, however, is pretty classic - from Simon and Garfunkel to Motown - so I definitely can't knock that. I'm sure S&G would never have thought a group of multicoloured trolls would be singing their songs in 2017. It's literally about a group of monsters eating trolls to make them happy. Yes you can't get more ridiculous than that.

Some of the best dialogue ever written
Incredible Direction
Great Soundtrack
An Insane Joyride Through The Criminal Underbelly
This movie is iconic at this point and rightly so. It is phenomenal from start to finish. There are so many classic lines and electric characters that every scene in this movie is quotable in some form. If you haven't seen it for some reason, do yourself a favour; stop what you are doing right now and go watch this masterpiece.

Classic Halloween Disney Movie
This movie is so good. If you like movies that give you 90's nostalgia with all little bit of tame creepiness, This movie is for you. The three witches are so hilarious, and the child acting isn't half-bad. Yes, it is sometimes cringy, but if you like those old cringy Disney Channel kind of movies, I definitely recommend you give this a watch.

Huge areas to explore
Very original
Ground Breaking Classic
The game that probably helped sell the Dreamcast. This was unlike anything else at the time. Almost an open world game where you were free to explore, train your martial arts moves or just pop to the arcade for some retro Sega classics or darts! Along with some 3D scrolling beat em up sections. Something few games have tried since sadly. You will spend days worth of hours playing this!

It’s an interesting premise that you are not held responsible for your ‘sins’, and instead they are laid out before you in a painting. A pretty hard going book in places: Dorian is pretty vacuous, and the things he and his friends talk about are inconsequential and ‘of their time’ - but that’s part of the reasoning behind his depravity. He cares about no one else except himself and whatever he can experience. I can see why it is such an enduring classic.

One of the original sci-fi classics
Up there with the original War of the Worlds as an original science fiction classic.
The art direction, look, feel and musical score of the film are amazing even by today's standards. Ok some of the special effects have not aged well, but it doesn't take away from the foreboding and interesting adventure.
Watch a brown-haired Leslie Nielsen do battle with the Krell alongside Robby the Robot.

Fun times
This cult classic is a fun musical.
This might not before everyones taste, very sexual theme movie. To watch this properly you need to go to an event where they are showing it. People will be there dressed up as characters and have props like water guns, toast and more fun things. If you plan to watch this at home you will be missing out on so much.
This is not a movie but a social event for the weird.
