Wotcha! I thought this would be a relatively short list *scratches head at own foolishness*. Here for your reading pleasure and nostaligia trip down memory lane, my list of fav Sci Fi movies. In the truest sense of Sci Fi, these movies cover a wide variety of 'types' of sci fi, but at their core is 'science fiction' ;-)

And in celebration of sci fi - I rec for you what has been recc'd before (but not by me) and because its awesome and in case you missed it: Starships by

bironic - watch it!

I was going to save this for last, but well, I can't help myself \o/. As you may or may not have noticed, I am a fantasy fan. It is still my preferred genre of book and while this genre crossover alot and it's a very broad category, I give to you, my favs.

( as you wish )

Action! There is a great local saying for action movies - 'a skop, skiet en donner fliek' and that's pretty much right on cue (excuse my french). I don't watch a lot of action movies these days, but that is not due to a change in taste, but is rather a reflection of the quality of action movies these days *coughMichaelBaycough* So, please don't be suprised if my selection stems a lot from the 90s, early 2000s.

A brief criteria debrief first on what I like in an action movie (and maybe you do too). An awesome hero. Yep, its pretty much why I watch a lot of shows - decent heroes. An intriguing story. What? In an action movie? Aren't you asking for a lot? I hear you say. Well.. no, I'm not. I need a fairly engaging plot. Something to keep me interested and rooting for my hero. Last - a kick ass villian. Every Batman, needs a Joker. Oh, oh and as point of qualification, I am leaving comic book movies out of this selection and sticking to traditional, non-super powered story lines.

One of my fav ice breakers when I am training is to ask the group what their favourite movie is. Invariably you get a list of the cliches and the odd obscure reference to a movie no one has heard of. And I end up fobbing the one smart-alec who asks me what my fav is, with something inane like 'Oh, its too hard for me to chose. Anyway...'. And I move on.

Because the truth is - I don't have a 'fav' movie of all time. I have a collection. A series of movies I love all dependent on the genre and my mood. And now for your reading pleasure, is a series of posts detailing my fav movies, because its good to keep those writing juices flowing. So here's your chance, flist. Weigh on your favourite: Romantic Movie! (aside: why am I chosing Romance first, when I am *so* not a shipper? You've Got Mail is on TV as I type this and well.. \o/)

Romance is not everyone's cup of tea (or glass of water, or even bowl of broth) but admit it, you have at least one romantic film on your fav list (I hope). Here, in no particular order are my favourite romantic (comedies mostly) movies:
