Well, I racked my brains and I ended up with a top 40!
Here we go! In no particular order
1. Goodfellas
2. Carlito's way
3. ET
4. Jaws
5. Aliens
6. The shawshank redemption
7. Star Wars
8. Heat
9. The Bourne Identity
10. ******
11. Pulp Fiction
12. Apocolypse Now
13. The Goonies
14. Leon
15. Trainspotting
16. Dirty Harry
17. Toy Story
18. Road to perdition
19. Point Break
20. Jurassic Park
21. Raiders of the lost ark
22. Unforgiven
23. Blade Runner
24. Die Hard (Absolutely stolen by Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber!)
25. Silence of the lambs
26. Terminator 2
27. Rocky 3
28. Lethal Weapon
29. Predator
30. The Matrix
31. LA Confidential

34. Top Gun
35. The Thing
36. Get Carter (Michael Caine version obviously)
37. Halloween
38. Gladiator
39. The Untouchables
40. The Deer Hunter
Then you have to think about the ones you've missed!
The usual suspects, Coming to america, Trading places, Layer cake, Blade, Ronin, Dawn of the dead (remake) etc etc etc etc etc
Discuss.

ooohh, tough one to select a top ten, but here goes (this list has been compiled today and maybe subject to change at any time)
1. Shawshank Redemption - Stephen King's short story brought to life with quality performances by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, very good cinematography.
2. Die Hard - The archetypal 80's action flick. Bruce Willis fits the part like a glove and McTierrnen directs superbly.
3. Green Mile - Another Stephen King novel adapted to screen, Tom Hanks and the supporting cast pull of this near 3 hour masterpiece of atmospheric story telling
4. Se7en - Morgan Freeman gives a wonderful performance in this crime thriller with a real twist at the end.
5. Saving Private Ryan - Changed the way that war films are made, especially the realism captured in the opening 20 mins on the Omaha Beach landings.
6. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - James Bond is Indy's dad, nothing more needs to be said.
7. Unforgiven - THE western to end all westerns, and what a cast...Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman, Harris.
8. Super Troopers - Silly highway cop fun, lots of proper laugh out loud moments
9. Pulp Fiction - Tarantino's finest work with a huge cast in this eclectic and disjointed story
10. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - Guy Ritchie’s debut gave us Jason Statham in this cockney wide boy gangsta style story.
A special mention should also go to Band of Brothers, although not a film, it carried a film's budget (8 million dollars for each of the 10 episodes). About as real as filmmakers dare make WW2, with the original soldiers commenting before each episode, simply awesome.
