I recently watched the Aliens Directors Cut and I was taken back by how poor the cinematography and the lighting of certain scenes was.
It was startlingly to see how cheap it looked at times.
Also, I strongly prefer the theatrical cut.
Much tighter, the pacing is better and, because of that, you get a greater sense of the urgency and tension.
And the sentry gun scene just lessons the threat of the Xeno. They're like cannon fodder.

@Chumpsbechumps is a true caf legend in my eyes!
Totally agree. Sometimes stuff stays on the cutting room floor for a reason.
I used to hold Aliens up as almost as good as the first when I was younger but it has dated a bit now and sits more comfortably with the rest of the 80’s action films rather than its predecessor. Almost like the two films were made by different directors.
Hmm tough one.
1) Gladiator
2) Django unchained
3) Casino Royale
4) Avatar
5) Shutter Island
Feel like I’m missing some obvious ones that I like. Many of the classics I can’t stand to be honest.

As I've recently posted on the 21st century Best Picture thread, I haven't been a big film buff until the last few years. Always watched more TV shows than films. But I've been catching up on a lot of films over the last couple of years, and there were others that I've always loved, so for now I'd probably go as a Top 5...
The Fugitive (1993)
Sneakers (1992)
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Big (1988)
The Firm (1993)
Plenty of other thrillers, comedies and rom-coms from that similar era (1980's to early 2000's) would make a longer list of a Top 10 or 20.

An underrated gem, loved this so much when I was growing up.
Glad you think so as well.
I always enjoy a re-watch of it, and reasonably had another one and it still holds up really well.
Pulp fiction
Jackie brown
City of God
Godfather II
Amores perros

I remember falling in love with Irene Jacobs in Red many years ago. So effortlessly elegant and beautiful. I shouldn’t have looked her up just now. Ruined that nostalgic view i had of her!
Forrest Gump
About time
Gigantic (1999)
Big Fish
Cinema Paradiso
Those are movies that made me think about life, my relationships and decisions I have made or had to make in my life and had an impact on me as a person.
For purely entertainment and well-made movies maybe something like this:
The Goldfather I
Fight Club
Heat
The Game
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
But there are many more of those, many listed already, and I might choose differently on another day.

Interesting list, never heard of those four before. Thanks for the recommendation.
At least Big Fish is a must for any self respecting movie watcher.
Good thing you quoted me, I put Afterlife where I meant to put About Time. While I found After Life to be a great TV series, the movie Afterlife seems to be a horror movie starring Liam Neeson…
edit: There also seems to be two versions of Gigantic. I’m referring to the 1999 one.

Re-watched the Dark Knight trilogy in 4k and it's just brilliant. The Batman Begins was a really good portrayal to introduce the series, think it's somewhat underrated among the three installments.

Actually, the 2009 Gigantic actually has a very interesting, life-changing plot as well:
Damn. I was planning on watching Afterlife with Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci <3 tonight.
It's weird how posters one clicks with often have the same taste in movies
Early Inárritu films were great when he worked with Arriaga as his writer. Shame their relationship broke down.
Weird how people underrate comedy movies. I forgot also to put it on my list. Tropic Thunder. That is comedy masterpiece.
