Star Trek VI.
Best of them all, IMO
Solyaris (1972) by Andrei Tarkovsky.
The guy's a genius.
I watched Creature from the Black Lagoon with my two kids. It was time for the initiation into B horror flicks. Next up, The Blog.
I tried to watch STALKER once...

Dry.
The book, Roadside Picnic, and the video game, Shadows of Chernobyl, were a lot more effective, IMO, than the movie.
Tarkovsky didn't make video games.
Oops. I'm waiting to see how Zoombie reacts to that
I agree, though, that Tarkovsky isn't for everyone. Some of my friends love him, some of them outright hate him, most of them would have no clue about him even if I shoved his movies right in front of their eyes. He has a very distinct style of shooting hypnotizing long shots that is enjoyable to those who like these kinds of visual imagery.
Hellboy. I wasn't impressed.
How else can I recommend this film... I guess if you like Ennio Morricone you can keep your eyes closed for 2 hours.
I just watched the Rocketeer. A forgotten bit of Disney magic, that combines jetpacks, the 1930s, Nazis, Gangsters, and fistfights on top of exploding zeppelins!
What more do you want!?
