28 Days later...
That one was a pretty disturbing watch. Not for the faint of heart.

Twelve Monkeys
Terry Gilliam at work in his best form.

Of course, there's always The Postman, but I only recommend that those with sadomasochistic tendencies and a predilection for internal haemorrhages...

12 monkies... I forgot that one. "When the Wind Blows" is good too, I heard.

I will become a patissier, God willing.

Of the action flick version, there is Terminator (I+II+III) too.

Then there is Sreamers.

You're not alone, ET is the blog of doomsayers :-)

BTW, of the four in your diary, I have seen all but On The Beach.

I have to agree with that.

On the Beach is IMO, one of the most powerfully shot movies.
