573,299 | 4,248,714 | 100,502 | 5 | RoboCop 2 | I have always thought that Paul Verhoeven's first film has stood out as the best RoboCop film , I can't really remember if this sequel was that good or not . Peter Weller returns as the cybernetic cop in this quite good film where RoboCop both tries to do his job while ( I think ) trying to be controlled and facing his... |

571,836 | 4,248,714 | 268,995 | 5 | The Majestic | Three years ( and four films ) after the outstanding act in The Truman Show , the star brought us this second more-serious role . From Frank Darabont , director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile , this is an alright film that reminds you of Frank Capra's work , and a pretty predictable story . Basically Pe... |
572,500 | 4,248,714 | 171,980 | 5 | Bernard's Watch | When I was younger I used to love this programme . Now it's just the tiniest bit corny , but still worth a look . It is about a boy named Bernard who is given a magic watch from a postman . It is given with instructions to press it once and then press it again . Bernard discovers that this watch can stop and start time... |
571,193 | 4,248,714 | 57,197 | 5 | Jason and the Argonauts | There are quite a few Greek based stories I like , i . e . Hercules and Clash of the Titans , and this is nearly one of them . Anyway , this is the story of Jason ( Todd Armstrong ) , a man on a mission from both Zeus ( Niall MacGinnis ) and his wife Hera ( Honor Blackman ) . Basically Jason has to find a brave crew an... |
573,198 | 4,248,714 | 64,782 | 5 | Paint Your Wagon | I have to admit two of the only reasons I wanted to see this film was because of the great actor we got to know in the spaghetti westerns singing , and The Simpsons spoofed it . Basically from a cart accident , prospector Ben Rumson ( Golden Globe nominated Lee Marvin ) and Michigan farmer Pardner ( Clint Eastwood ) fo... |
572,432 | 4,248,714 | 87,237 | 5 | Fanny Hill | I can't remember seeing the entire film , or the reason for the rather amusing sexual sounding title , but I do remember that there were a couple of good moments of female nudity and sex . Oliver Reed starred in it somewhere , but he obviously wasn't my concern when I saw it . I only cared about it because of the amusi... |
572,745 | 4,248,714 | 109,279 | 5 | Black Beauty | I had read the reviews for this story of one of the most famous fictional horses in literacy , and this film adaptation is the only one so far that has a decent star rating ( all others are two , this is three ) , from director Caroline Thompson ( scriptwriter of Edward Scissorhands ) . Anyway , basically Black Beauty ... |

This is the true story based on the life of Jacqui Jackson and her seven children . Carter plays Maggi Jackson , the troubled mother happy to do nearly anything for her kids , esp... |
571,262 | 4,248,714 | 117,764 | 5 | Stripshow | Another silly script , but worth the watch for nudity . This stripper has left Las Vegas with all her earned cash and she has stopped at a motel run by a cowboy named " Cowboy " , how original . She meets this girl who is interested to know how she earned the money . She is also interested in becoming a stripper hersel... |
571,248 | 4,248,714 | 356,150 | 5 | EuroTrip | This is not a sequel , but a good natured , more offensive and just as funny follow-up to Road Trip . Basically Scott Thomas ( Scott Mechlowicz ) has graduated from high school , and he has a really good pen pal in Berlin named Mieke who he has known for years . This good luck soon changed though when his girlfriend du... |
571,774 | 4,248,714 | 974,959 | 5 | American Pie Presents | Yet another American Pie straight to DVD spin-off follows The Naked Mile , and unlike Band Camp , it continues with the same leading characters , only Ryan Grimm ( Ross Thomas ) is missing .

571,280 | 4,248,714 | 397,065 | 5 | House of Wax | This isn't exactly a scary film , but it is a very good original idea for good gore and creepy goings on . Basically a bunch of teenagers including the beautiful Carly Jones ( Elisha Cuthbert ) , Nick Jones ( Chad Michael Murray ) , the gorgeous Paige Edwards ( the quite thick Simple Life's Paris Hilton ) , Wade ( Jare... |
572,910 | 4,248,714 | 113,501 | 5 | Just Cause | I will admit I didn't pay full attention to this when it was on , but I did get the gist I needed to , and I suppose it isn't bad .

573,201 | 4,248,714 | 175,142 | 5 | Scary Movie | As soon as the Scream trilogy had ended , in a really disappointing way , they were trying to think of another idea for a scary movie , and they did , a spoof from the Wayans brothers .

572,961 | 4,248,714 | 109,131 | 5 | Animal Instincts 2 | The sequel to the nudity and sex filled film that sounds more like a nature film is just as good as the first film . Shannon Whirry returns as the very fit housewife , Joanna Cole . This time instead of the husband filming the wife there is no husband ( I don't know why ) and the next door neighbour is watching Whirry ... |
572,876 | 4,248,714 | 1,220,160 | 5 | Unanimous | I saw an advert for this programme and decided to give it a go . It was not the same of kind of reality show I am used to , where people live together and do tasks , it is just living together and voting , that's it . The rules : live in the house , get to know the people ready for the vote , all vote for the same pers... |
571,243 | 4,248,714 | 490,126 | 5 | Kenneth Williams : Fantabulosa ! | I had seen tiny bits of this programme a couple of times , and I recognised the actor who played Tony Blair in The Queen , so I thought I might as well give it a go .

571,578 | 4,248,714 | 117,998 | 5 | Twister | This is quite a simple idea for a film , basically some scientists go somewhere where there are loads of twisters , or tornadoes going on and try to work how they work and stuff .

571,512 | 4,248,714 | 454,945 | 5 | She's the Man | The title speaks for itself , and I had heard of it plenty times , and with the female star of Big Fat Liar , I was certain to try this modernisation of Shakespeare's Twelth Night .

571,107 | 4,248,714 | 236,908 | 5 | Max Steel | I can remember it was always on just after I got home from school . Now it has moved to another channel and a near-morning afternoon kids show .

571,931 | 4,248,714 | 1,189,092 | 5 | What Britain Earns | I suppose the main reason I wanted to see this documentary was to find out if they were going to talk about jobs in the entertainment industry , even though they didn't talk about what I'd hoped it was still an interesting programme . Basically Peter Snow and his Dan Snow went around Britain , looking at many types of ... |
571,356 | 4,248,714 | 52,911 | 5 | It's All Right Jack | There are the moments where I giggled a bit , but not all of the film is that funny in my opinion . I also don't understand the meaning of the title . But one thing I liked about the film was the pretty good performance by BAFTA winning Peter Sellers as Fred Kite and John Kennaway . He pretty much stole the show with h... |
571,386 | 4,248,714 | 940,585 | 5 | Brick Lane | I didn't really know what to expect with this film , and to be honest I am a little surprised I stuck with it all the way through .

573,181 | 4,248,714 | 386,588 | 5 | Hitch | This is an interesting idea for a film , a character that can solve men's love problems , or you could call him the love doctor .

572,654 | 4,248,714 | 356,236 | 5 | Brilliant Creatures | When I was a bit younger I only watched this show occasionally , but when I did watch it some of the episodes were either interesting , cute , furry or gross .

He decides to make a film called Chubby Rain where aliens come ... |
572,957 | 4,248,714 | 404,032 | 5 | The Exorcism of Emily Rose | I thought this might be a bit like The Village , given three out of five stars , and turning out to be rubbish , but actually , not bad .

571,523 | 4,248,714 | 125,022 | 5 | Heartbreakers | This is an okay film I suppose , but the thought of a woman and her daughter conning men to love them and then it ends in despair where they get money , it's just a bit terrible .

Adam West as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Burt Ward as Dick Grayson / Robin in his short green trunks was good . Basically the caped crusader and boy wonder are out to catch all the villains that have escaped and are working together . These a... |
571,328 | 4,248,714 | 20,531 | 5 | Unaccustomed As We Are | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . I should say first the sound very grainy , so you might need subtitles on when watching . Ollie is taking Stan home for dinner , but soon after arriving Mrs . Hardy ( Mae Busch ) is com... |
572,011 | 4,248,714 | 183,523 | 5 | Mission to Mars | From the great director Brian De Palma ( Carrie , Scarface , The Untouchables ) comes his first , and pretty cheesy , science-fiction / space melodrama .

571,444 | 4,248,714 | 86,590 | 5 | The Wind in the Willows | I have seen many different versions of Kenneth Grahame's famous and popular story of the river and the characters that live in it . This is the clay cartoon version where the characters ( I think ) are made of Plastercine and do not move much , unlike the Aardman Animations clay work . I think you know the story alread... |
571,200 | 4,248,714 | 362,120 | 5 | Scary Movie 4 | The first Scary Movie by the Wayans brothers was funny , but I am not sure anymore because I have seen it quite a lot , and this third sequel from Airplane ! director David Zucker I might like more . It still spoofs and quotes many scary and well known films , TV shows , and well known media moments including : Saw and... |
572,689 | 4,248,714 | 113,926 | 5 | Naked Souls | Unfortunately I do not remember finishing this film for some reason , but it's another one of those thriller or drama like films that I basically only wanted to see for the chance of seeing good sex and nudity . The thing I most wanted to see when I heard about this film was obviously the chance that Baywatch's Pamela ... |
571,883 | 4,248,714 | 335,438 | 5 | Starsky and Hutch | Based on the really popular action TV series with the two pretty known names , this film is based on it , and with two good comedian actors playing the heroes makes it nearly bigger . Basically David Starsky ( Ben Stiller ) and Ken ' Hutch ' Hutchinson ( Owen Wilson ) are partnered up to investigate some robberies or s... |
570,956 | 4,248,714 | 289,765 | 5 | Red Dragon | Apparently this is a remake of the Michael Mann / Hannibal film Manhunter , and it is the prequel to The Silence of the Lambs , from director Brett Ratner ( Rush Hour ) . The film obviously opens with Dr . Hannibal Lecter ( Sir Anthony Hopkins , reprising his Oscar winning role a third time ) attempting a brutal murder... |
572,352 | 4,248,714 | 253,867 | 5 | The Sweetest Thing | I recognised the title , and I had an idea of who was in it , so I gave it a go , from director Roger Kumble ( Cruel Intentions ) . Basically Christina Walters ( Cameron Diaz ) has spent years avoiding men , and then she sees Mr . Right while out with best friends Courtney Rockcliffe ( Christina Applegate ) and Jane Bu... |
572,909 | 4,248,714 | 1,179,876 | 5 | Lose 30 Stone or Die | I have seen quite a few of these documentaries where very large people need to lose a lot of weight , and practically all of them have the triple bypass operation , and here's another one of those programmes . Basically 38-year-old Colin Corfield weighs 48 stone , and doctors have warned him that if he doesn't lose at ... |
572,087 | 4,248,714 | 51,453 | 5 | Carry On Sergeant | After Carry On Admiral , this is one of the first of the famous British comedy series , and quite a good one . There is no real plot to the story , it is mainly just army training for World War II ( I think ) with the many different male characters , this is where the comedy comes from , the men . One thing to note abo... |
571,859 | 4,248,714 | 347,014 | 5 | Forbidden | The title speaks for itself really , all behaviour that goes on during this film is forbidden to others . I only wanted to see this film for the mention of the amount of sexual and nudity references . I didn't realise it was the same director of my favourite porn film , Allyson is Watching ! Anyway , I can't really rem... |
572,569 | 4,248,714 | 840,064 | 5 | Banned in the UK | I only really remember seeing one episode of this series , but it is pretty clear of the meaning of the title and the plot of all four episodes . Basically they take a period of time in Britain , I think it was the 60s , 70s , 80s and 90s , and explain all controversial and publicised things that were banned . It doesn... |
572,070 | 4,248,714 | 110,527 | 5 | Miracle on 34th Street | For a Christmas film this is quite a nice children's film where someone tries to prove the existence of Santa Claus , and that Kris Kringle ( Lord Sir Richard Attenborough ) is him . Kringle is hired as a Santa Clause in a local department store by Dorey Walker ( The Flintstones ' Elizabeth Perkins ) to bring more chil... |

572,872 | 4,248,714 | 105,698 | 5 | Universal Soldier | From director Roland Emmerich ( Independence Day ) , this is the first film I have seen starring the French action star , and not a bad one . The film starts in the Vietnam war , where U . S . soldiers Luc Devreux ( Jean-Claude Van Damme ) and Andrew Scott ( Dolph Lundgren ) are fighting , and kill each other . In the ... |
573,011 | 4,248,714 | 120,891 | 5 | Wild Wild West | From director Barry Sonnenfeld ( Men in Black ) this is quite an interesting and more modernised western film . Will Smith as Capt .

572,153 | 4,248,714 | 120,841 | 5 | Species II | The first film was always corny , but fun and a good cast , and this sequel is equally good . Basically three astronauts succeed landing on Mars , and not long after they leave they are knocked out by a creature , and for a while , you're not sure which one is infected and will mutate . Meanwhile , Dr . Laura Baker ( M... |
572,239 | 4,248,714 | 448,134 | 5 | Sunshine | There are quite a few great directors that have a go at the sci-fi genre , e . g . Tim Burton , Brian De Palma , and most unfortunately aren't fantastic , and this is the same for this film from director Danny Boyle ( Shallow Grave , Trainspotting , 28 Days Later ) . Basically , it is 2057 , and our ( Earth's ) Sun is ... |
571,611 | 4,248,714 | 120,832 | 5 | Snake Eyes | From director Brian De Palma ( Scarface , The Untouchables ) , I didn't know anything about this film apart from the title ( duh ) and the two lead actors , so I gave it a go .

572,461 | 4,248,714 | 110,478 | 5 | Maverick | From director Richard Donner ( The Omen , Lethal Weapons 1-4 ) , this did look like quite a fun western , and I noticed some good names in the cast , so I was certainly going to try it . Basically Bret Maverick ( Mel Gibson ) is hoping to save up $25 , 000 to enter the big Winner Takes All poker tournament , and he is ... |
572,460 | 4,248,714 | 448,157 | 5 | Hancock | From director Peter Berg ( Welcome to the Jungle , The Kingdom ) , I will see almost anything with the leading African American star who saved the world many times before . Basically John Hancock ( Will Smith ) should be praised as an all powerful superhero , but he is an alcoholic hated nuisance who saves people in Lo... |
570,923 | 4,248,714 | 117,038 | 5 | Michael | It is an interesting idea for a film , and it is the same director as Sleepless in Seattle , Nora Ephron . Basically Frank Quinlan ( William Hurt ) gets a message and photo evidence that an angel is staying with an old woman at her house in Iowa . The boss Vartan Malt ( Bob Hoskins ) is excited about this story , and s... |
572,103 | 4,248,714 | 66,667 | 5 | Help ! It's the Hair Bear Bunch | When I was younger , I only actually saw one episode of Help ! It's the Hair Bear Bunch .

Peevley and Botch were the two zoo keepers stopping them from doing this .... |
571,320 | 4,248,714 | 335,345 | 5 | The Passion of the Christ | Forget A Clockwork Orange , The Evil Dead , The Exorcist , Monty Python's Life of Brian and many of the other controversial films , this " labour of love " from Braveheart actor / director Mel Gibson is the most controversial film I have ever seen .

570,952 | 4,248,714 | 117,057 | 5 | The Mirror Has Two Faces | I don't understand the meaning of the title , although the leading actress did look in the mirror quite a bit , anyway , what appealed to me about seeing this film was a good cast , and the fact that produced and directed by Barbra Streisand . Basically college professor Gregory Larkin ( Jeff Bridges ) has been let dow... |
573,167 | 4,248,714 | 114,388 | 5 | Sense and Sensibility | Based on the popular book by Jane Austen , with the Oscar winning screenplay by Emma Thompson , and directed by BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated Ang Lee ( Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon ; Brokeback Mountain ) made it sound pretty good . It is a good film , but to be honest , I only wanted to see it for the amount of g... |
573,259 | 4,248,714 | 120,910 | 5 | Fantasia 2000 | I saw the trailer for this film back when it was out in cinema ( also released in Imax format ) , and I enjoyed the 1940 original , so I thought I'd give it a go . There are four reasons why this film just isn't as thought out as the original . Firstly , they have to get celebrities , such as Steve Martin , Bette Midle... |
