As a starting point and a precursor to the massive success superhero movies would come to have over the next two decades, the original X-Men movie was something of a trendsetter. Featuring a fabulous cast that brought Hugh Jackman’s snarling Wolverine into our lives as well as iconic portrayals of Professor X and Magneto by the wonderful Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, X-Men is great fun, if a little underwhelming by today’s standards. Some of the dialogue is a little off and Halle Berry’s accent for Storm is, well, truly awful.

Still a masterpiece!

The first time I saw Hellraiser I was amazed and disgusted simultaneously which doesn't happen too often when going to the movies nowadays.

I was thoroughly mesmerized by the gothic world Clive Barker had created and the interesting, yet enigmatic characters he created. The film has a unique look which is impressive considering the low budget.

I can see how those seeing it for the first time now would consider some of the optical effects dated by today's CGI perfection standards, but the ideas and themes are still compelling.

I have revisited often when I want a good creep.
