Favourites Redux

Ever since I posted my favourites I have been stewing over the also rans and talking myself into changing one for another then realising why I chose this one over that, its an intermnable bind which is getting thoroughly on my nerves. So I have decided to do my list of others, not necessarily second and third choices just films that deserve an honourable mention, I wont indulge in descriptions or reasons, they should kind of talk for themelves, I hope.

Sci Fi: Episodes  iii, iv, v, vi of Starwars, Battlestar Galactica, The Black Hole, Termintor 1 & 2, X men, Outlander, Event Horizon, Serenity, The Matrix,  Alien, The Predator,

Animated: all 3 toy story, shrek 1-3, despicable me, ralph bakshi’s lord of the rings, heavy metal, How to train your dragon ,

I also realised I had left out some major genres, like horror and war films which was remiss of me, I dont have a great love of horror but I do have favourites and war films are a staple of mine so I’ll have a think and edit the post when my head gets back in the game. Just realised i totally ignored the Spy/black ops films, like Bourne and Bond, its terrible once you get into thinking about this as you realise all the films you forgot to mention.
