Hard not to love Ridley, he is a genius, but his Magnum Opus is Blade Runner.

Aliens however was Cameron, also a genius, but his Magnum Opus is Titanic, love it or hate it, it is none the less a masterpiece.

Kate Winslet is a qt in that movie tho, that's how I like em, pretty as can be, but not too skinny.

Do you like Bronson films like Death Wish? Does that hold up for someone that didn't see it back then or has no nostalgic attachment to it etc?

Not true. The first female hero was the single mother. They do things that even 9/11 first responders couldn't imagine (like posting on facebook). Very glad our society has them!

didn't think that one was all that good tbh. All those wall street scam movies always rely on really on the nose exposition. For me that takes me out of the film. The best one is Margin Call.

Movie wasn't great but it was good for what it was. A character study in hubris and greed. But the 5 minute scene i mentioned is pure gold.
