Terminator 2: Judgement Day was better than The Terminator
Aliens was better than Alien.
T2 better than T1
Aliens almost as good as Alien but not better.

You're dead to me.Aliens almost as good as Alien but not better.

Zombie movies do nothing for me, never seen either.You'll be telling me Return of the Living Dead 2 was better than the first one next. Aliens was great because it had Bill but it also had Newt. It also had Sigourney's very strange hairstyle.
Alien killed off its main hero which was epic at the time. It like Star Wars changed the film landscape.
Um which main hero killed off would that be?You'll be telling me Return of the Living Dead 2 was better than the first one next. Aliens was great because it had Bill but it also had Newt. It also had Sigourney's very strange hairstyle.

And I do suggest watching Night of 1 even if you think you won't like it. It"s only peripherally a zombie movie.
Tom Skerritt - Dallas the Captain, brave, good looking, a leader, the alpha- white male of the team. It was totally unexpected that he died and that's what made the film unpredictable.
Night of the living dead the original.Night of 1?
Hm. We could argue that. I think Ripley is set up as the hero from the start. Never occurred to me that Dallas was the man. Ripley has the pivotal lines, the best shots, and makes more sense. Good excuse to re-watch.
Night of the living dead the original.
Right.I've seen Night of the Living Dead dozens of time and love zombie movies and this is easily in my top 5. Perhaps you were supposed to reply to Coal who doesn't like zombie films?
Nope, seems obvious, he thinks in the box, makes mistakes, and gets punished for it. I was not at all surprised. I did hope that the duo of Parker and Ripley would be the survivors. Jones was a given.I watched it with a bunch of friends on VHS we would have been in our early teens and none of us saw it coming. We weren't alone

I don't even feel that strongly about them. It's more 'meh'.Perhaps you were supposed to reply to Coal who doesn't like zombie films?
Same here. If I want to watch zombies I can get a bus in to the cbd. mehI don't even feel that strongly about them. It's more 'meh'.
The series proved to be enormously popular in France (first aired in 1969 as Les Envahisseurs), and it is still a local favorite, inspiring books, comics, songs, comedy skits (Les envahisseurs by Les Inconnus), and even TV advertising commercials.
Seconded. A great film.Snowpiercer: South Korean-Czech SF/Post-Apocalypse film. An attempt to reverse Global Warming has gone wrong and produced a new Ice Age. The few survivors exist on board a mega-train, Snowpiercer, which runs on a globe-spanning track. The lower class passengers are in the tail, the middle in economy and the elite are at the front. Really all rather allegorical. The train's dictator is Wilford (Ed Harris), Minister Mason (Tilda Swinton) is his propaganda aide and hatchet woman (literally). Curtis (Chris Evans) is plotting a revolt, Edgar (Jamie Bell) is his sidekick while Gilliam (John Hurt) is the intellectual inspiration for the rebels.
An opportunity for an uprising occurs when children from the tail are seized by Wilford's security guards led by . This is suppressed by Mason (Swinton channelling a petty bureaucrat in a Yorkshire accent). Messages are passed back to Curtis by an unknown helper from the front of the train and eventually a revolt succeeds and the rebels fight their way through the train. Some incredible close quarter battle scenes involving hand-axes. Much of the action takes place in the narrow dark confines of the train. As they move forward though they encounter bright greenhouses and aquariums and a bizarre teacher (Alison Pill) in a classroom which carries on as if in the old days. At times the film gets as bizarre as any of Terry Gilliam's as it delivers it's message through satire and even slapstick humour. But many dark secrets are exposed on all sides during the quest through the train.
Director/co-writer Bong Joon-ho has created a closed environment SF battle film, depending on irony and humour to get many of his points across. Similar in some respects to The Hunger Games but far more convincing. 8.5/10.
Seconded. A great film.
