    Armageddon - Space adventure, where a US team has to destroy a meteor before it destroys earth. (Who else would fight against a meteor other than Bruce Willis?)

    Fifth Element - Artemis explained already.

    A Knight's Tale - Not exactly "great" but it's fun. (Heath Ledger, and that chick from Hackers)

    Psycho - The original, nothin' beats the old school horror.

    Batman Returns - Batman vs. Catwoman vs. the Penguin. Allstar cast, couldn't really go wrong with it.

    Desperado - It's Antonio Banderas. I forgot what it's totally about, but I like the gun fighting scenes. =P

    I'll name others as I remember them. LOL. I haven't been watching "normal" movies for a long while.

    Evil Dead 1-3 are the best horror movies ever. They rule. Ring 1-2 are really good aswell. If you want action, watch any Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee films. Martial arts, always kick ***.

    Forgot some...
    Fight Club (The main character is an insomniac and is, how one might put, 'owned by his possessions', until he meets a strange fellow named Tyler Durden who'll change his life forever)

    Seven (Two detectives attempt to track who's responsible for grizzly murders happening right under their nose)

    Thirteen Ghosts (newer one) (When a man's uncle dies, he is left a gigantic glass house and he takes his two children and housekeeper to check it out. Little do they know what's kept in the basement)

    House on Haunted Hill (newer one) (Once an insane asylum, the house on haunted hill has been left for ages, until the wife of a successful theme-park owner asks to have her birthday party celebrated in said house)

    The Usual Suspects (Actually don't remember what exactly this one's about, sorry >< Or at least don't know how to put it into words)

    Resevoir Dogs (When a robbery attempt goes wrong, a rat is suspected in the group to have tipped the cops off. Now all they have to do is found out who the rat is)

    From Dusk Till Dawn (The Gecko brothers known for their murderous rampage make their way down the US in attempts to cross the border into Mexico, and they hijack the mobile home of a holy man and his two children and kidnap the three on their way. They come to stop at a bar to wait for the brothers' friend that'll meet them there, but they have no idea what kind of trouble they're getting themselves into)

    The Crow (Eric Draven and his soon-to-be-wife are murdered on Halloween night by a group of Hell-raising criminals, yet Eric has unfinished business. Draven is risen from his grave with seemingly immortality to see that justice is done to his murderers, and does he ever do so in style)

    The Crow: City of Angels (Basically same as the Crow, though the main character, Ashe, and his son are murdered by a group of criminals working for the drug-peddling Earl Judah (Judah Earl? Can't remember ><). Though like Eric, Ashe's business isn't done in this world, and he, too, rises from his grave to see that Judah and his cronies pay for their sins)

    Been a while since I seen some of these...
