Oh yeah, I absolutely love Steven Seagal movies! I think I’ve seen pretty much all of them although as I wrote back in 2004, when you’ve seen one you’ve pretty much seen them all!

Under Siege and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory are two of my favourites – particularly the one liners from the bad guys, especially when they discuss who Seagal’s character is and how visibly shaken they get. Quality!

I even remember one where he got the girl at the end – most unlike his normal films – but strangely I really enjoyed it!

I, too, love classic Steven Seagal movies. The newer ones tend to have a lot of his dialogue and stunts dubbed or doubled. But his early ones, including Marked For Death, Above The Law and, of course, Under Siege were great mindless action movies. If any of you haven’t seen it, may I suggest the Glimmer Man with Keenan Ivory Wayans and S.S. One of my all-time favourites.
You should put a list of his movies on your site with the ones you have and haven’t seen and we can try to compare with you and see who has seen the most and who sees them all first.

Yeah, Scrooged is another of my favourite films really due to Bill Murray’s performance. He plays off-the-wall characters brilliantly – a very under-rated actor if you ask me!

I dig this movie, but I love almost all of Bill Murray’s 80′s-early 90′s movies. I especially like Scrooged and the season is right for that one to be coming up soon.

It certainly is – I’ve not seen it for a few years, maybe I’ll have to track a copy down and relive my youth!

I only watched ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ the other day, an absolute classic.
To think that Cameron Frye wrecked his dad’s Ferrari and then went on to become a Star Trek Captain.

Ha ha! Yeah, like my fashion sense, I’m a few years behind with my film reviews!

Massif – you’re absolutely right, and I didn’t notice that either! It’s a clever film is Groundhog Day.

The best thing that someone pointed out to me about the film, is the way it follows the classic depression sequence of denial -> anger -> bargaining -> depression -> acceptance.
