I will start seeing as i am the 'ring-leader' of this post

A) In God We Trust- http://www.atomfilms.com/af/content/atom_348
It is a great story, creative, well made/edited, good camera work, and good acting
B) 007-James Bond: Die Another Day
Cool effects(bullet shooting through camera), First time bond couldn't escape (without MI6 trading prisoners), Bond gets fired from MI6 but MI6 sheepishly begs him to come back.
C) Ian Fleming- see above
D) Ashton Kutcher- Because he is funny and was in dude wheres my car and that 70's show
All we are saaaying.....is give peace a chance!
The Beatles ROCK! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Alright lets give this a go then:

A) BlueSmoke 4ever - I actually preferred this one to their latest one. http://www.bluesmoke.org.uk/downloads5.htm
B) Aliens - What every sequel should try to live up to.
C) John Waters - Although my favourite film of all time isn't one of his, he is one of the few directors who rarely comprimises on his films.
D) Johnny depp - How many other actors are as truly versatile or have acted in so many quality movies?

And thats my two cents...
Ooh, french maid. Didn't expect me home from the whipped cream store so soon did you? And who's your lady friend? - Master Shake, ATHF

The person who was hosting it had to take it offline. I see him practically every day so I'll put in a word for you.

A. "The Hire" series
Action packed and each one has a different director with their own style.

B. Collateral
Collateral a very well made original movie and the concept is awesome.

C. Steven Speilberg (others: M. Night, Michael Mann, Jared Hess, others)
C'mon it's Speilberg, do I have to explain?

D. Jack Black
He's hilarious and has proven he can play diverse roles.

Theshapecool I f****** love Judgement Night the very first time I saw it I can remember thinking how intense it was. The scene in railroad car is f****** amazing. As much s*** as Denis Leary gets about all his bad movies I really liked in that role.

Yeah man I agree, he had just enough a***-hole qualities and coldness (much like his standup) to make it work, I agree with some comments I read that the script was poor and theactors couldnt do alot with it, but man is it a good film, And its become my all time favourate. Keeps me glued to the seat every time. I watched it every time I got home from Theatre and acting classes to keep the feel and intensity, sometimes it would keep me up all night and I was buzzing, In a way that film was kind of like a coach to me, Those were amazing times, so whenever I watch that film, aswell as it being amazing, it just reminds me of then.
Great stuff, I'm glad you like the film also. But I have to admit the swearing isnt needed! haha

A) How the Cossacks played soccer - animated short film (hilarious).

B) The Thing - Visually still holds up now. 'You gotta be f**king kidding me!'

C) George A. Romero - Is not ruled by Hollywood like some Directors (Spielberg). His dead series are known as some of the horror greats.

D) Al Pacino - The Godfathers, Scarface, Carlito's Way, etc. etc. etc. Great Actor.
