Anyone seen 'the machinist' for some weird stuff going on? Nice scene in a workshop where HS goes wrong 
Also many people have seen 'memento' but another strange one but an earlier film by the same director worth a watch is 'following'.

I haven't even heard of most of the films you're talking about
That's cos you're a young 'un.
'The Princess Bride' ought definitely be on your list of ones to watch. Another film I watched awhile ago, which I haven't seen for years, seems to be just as funny as I remember it too. 'Remo; Unarmed and Dangerous'. Fred Ward, the bloke who was in Tremors with Kevin Bacon, is Remo.

If you want an action hero actor look no further than Audie Murphy
Read up on what he went through in WWII - apparently he won every American military award for valour along with French and Belgian equivalents. Made a few films too...

The oldest films I've watched are probably Snatch and Lock, stock & two smoking barrels
Then you are missing out! Some of my favourite films were made before I was born.

Never really been able to get into either of those first two. I've tried watching them through, but they just don't seem to be my type of film. Don't think I've seen the third one.
On about unusual films, Highlander was one of the most confusing films I've ever seen, the first time I watched it. Made perfect sense the second time around and thereafter, but that's definitely a confusing film on the first watch.

We can easily compile a list of tacky cult classics for you to watch if you want?
Oh God, I'm in tears with laughter, I tried searching for that but chunko's tie wrap holder snuck into my head, causing me to search " the princess beard", I found

Yeah, casting the Frenchman as a Scot and the Scot as an Egyptian Spaniard.

Aye, there was that point too.
Lambert pulled the Scot part off well though, in my opinion, and you just accept the fact that Connery will always have a Scottish accent no matter what nationality he plays, in any film.

Yes, his tour de force as an Irish cop in The Untouchables.

I need something to do tomorrow, dad's taking little brother to see terminator 5, I'm not going because, well, have you seen the fourth one...We can easily compile a list of tacky cult classics for you to watch if you want?
Just like Transformers, pirates of the Caribbean, spider man, fast & furious, shrek and many more, films with loads of sequels are never good. Not that they all started good

It is supposed to be pretty good. Back to the level of the 1st 2 films. Salvation was far better than the third one IMHO.

The worst example of let down sequels, IMHO, is 'The Matrix'. That would have been far better if they'd just left it at one film. Other ones are the 'Highlander' sequels, 'Star Wars' prequels etc.

That could end up being a very long list.
Just a few to get young Maker started. Not necessarily tacky or cult but definitely classics.
They Live!
Predator (get to the chopper!)
The Dambusters
Zulu
The Magnificent Seven
Bullitt
Tremors

Some good classics there. The original 'The Ladykillers' is another one which ought be on the classics list.
