About this user: I think it was around 1979 when I tried to sneak into the local Odeon cinema to see Ridley Scotts Alien that I started to become more aware of movies and finding out what I liked in terms of genre. But somewhat surprisingly even at that young age I was enjoying some of the older films such as Forbidden Planet.

It was not until I was given my first DVD that the bug hit me. And it was all down to a mate giving me a Region 1 version of The Matrix as his player was only a region 2. From there it has been a mainly constant purchasing process to increase my collection which currently sits at 1500+ individual movies and television episodes; although invelos which only counts per barcode shows it as 540.

My favourite genres are mainly Action/Adventure, Horror, Sci-Fi and Mystery although I do like films from other genres too.

Ten of my favourites film are (in no particular order) Alien, Aliens, 12 Angry Men (1957), Forbidden Planet, The Thing, Jaws, Blade Runner, 300, Full Metal Jacket, Forrest Gump, Although there are plenty more movies that I could list here.
