80's classic
A memorable 80's film with one of Tom Cruise's early leading roles. No doubt inspired many other films. It's very similar in feel to @Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) with a teen going wild while the parents away, taking the Porshe for a spin all to a 80's soundtrack.

This brought back memories
Damn. I skated in the 90s and listened to hip hop this was me. Absolutely corker of a film from Jonah Hill, a kid meets a crowd of skaters deemed the wrong crowd but they help him in his transformation from kid to teen but are his heroes delinquent from their own trauma rather than just being cool?
Everything from the soundtrack to the direction is spot on. I loved it.

A classic
A cult classic film from my childhood. It has a wide variety of weird and wonderful characters, most created by the master of puppets Jim Henson. It has a cool soundtrack and a great story with plenty of laughs for all ages. If you like the Never Ending Story, The Dark Crystal you have to see this!

Excellent acting
Brilliant soundtrack
Iconic 80s coming of age film
I've loved this film since I can remember - Broderick is perfect in it, and it's spawned so many pop culture references as a result I can't even count. Funny, stylish, and cool. When you're binging John Hughes films, finish strong with this one.

Cool 60's soundtrack
A classy Thriller
Finally got to see this on Sky cinema as I missed it at the cinema. This is a very good thriller. It has a very strong ensemble cast line up, Jeff Bridges stands out. A bi-state Motel, which has long seen better days, is the backdrop as a group of strangers check in, all with something to hide.
The Motel set adds a cool and quirky location and the soundtrack is great. As the reasons for each of them being there unfold we get a slick, stylish thriller with a slight noir touch to it. You don't even notice the long run time, which is always a good sign the story has you hooked in. The ending maybe stopped it from being a classic for me but it's still a highly enjoyable film.

Big map
Great soundtrack
A great racing game
The first Need for Speed game I remember playing on the old Xbox. Quite different at the time as you had a fair bit of free roam to do your own thing. The customisation was very good to give your car different looks. You could pose it in a photo mode to make the cover of a car mag in the game.
Along with a great soundtrack with some big tunes it also had voice acting by Kelly Brook and Brooke Burke as well.
Definitely one of the best early Need for Speed games.

Good soundtrack
Stranger Things meets Slasher
Part one of this Horror trilogy on Netflix doesn't disappoint. Seems like it's been a good while since we had a decent modern slasher film. This feels like a 90's horror, and does well to set the scene for '94. It starts with a great pre title scene similar to films like Scream. The killer outfits look good, another very Scream like. The film slows in pace a little towards the end but overall it's very enjoyable. A long with a decent 90's soundtrack to top it off. Roll on part 2 next week.

Driver
Ryan Gosling plays (Driver) and he plays an absolute blinder in this dark and atmospheric film. Despite portraying this loner, quiet type, well mannered cool looking mechanic. Driver (that's all we know him by) has another side to him. The whole LA city thing is just shot perfectly. I can't get enough of this film, it's that good.

Original and still the best
As good as Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy was, this is still my favourite and Keaton is still the best Dark Knight. Dark and broody and with eyebrows made for the role, Keaton delivers as both Batman and Bruce Wayne while Jack Nicholson hits the perfect balance of menace and camp with his Joker. Ps -Great soundtrack too
PPS - the Batmobile has never looked so cool

Very good SFX
Very funny
Kiefer Sutherland
Cool soundtrack
Death by stereo!
What's not to love about this film? A very cool Vampire film and exactly how a Vampire film should be. It still looks great today the effects don't look dated. The Vampires look like how you expect them to. It has some iconic scenes and great dialogue, not to mention funny as well. One of my fave Kiefer Sutherland films in one of his earlier roles. The rest of the young cast have great chemistry. It also has some great songs to cap it off. It simply oozes coolness and class, a true 80's cult classic!
