A classic movie which is as watchable today as it was in 1987, Lethal Weapon defines the buddy-cop action-comedy genre and is still top of the class over 20 years on.

Resident Evil
Considering the source material and what was asked of the actors, I found Resident Evil to be watchable and enjoyable despite the many flaws, in a world of horrific game-to-movie conversions Resident Evil keeps it’s head just above the sludge.
The Golden Child
While not being rated as highly as some of Murphy’s work, personally I enjoyed The Golden Child and found it entertaining and different to the movies around at the time, having said that it might not hold up well after 23 years.
Coming to America
A decent John Landis comedy which aims to be no more than a feel-good comedy and delivers just about exactly that.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Beyond Thunderdome is the weakest of the three Max movies but is still worth watching, too many cute moments and forced situations decrease the impact of the otherwise engaging story.
Mad Max 2
Another excellent outing for Mad Max this time showing us the complete breakdown of order and the power of oil; with an increase in the comic element providing some light relief, Mad Max 2 is easier viewing than the first movie but no less entertaining.
Mad Max
Mad Max holds up despite being 30 years old, presenting a gripping and gritty view of the near future and spawning a generation of look-alike films.
Stripes
A classic Reitman comedy staring Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, Stripes is funny and embarassing in equal measure yet still delivers a fun feel good experience.
Stargate
A well produced, engaging sci-fi actioner with some excellent performances and only a few marginally annoying elements which let it down.
Hellboy
Hellboy is an entertaining and engaging action fantasy film with stunning visuals and only a few minor flaws.
