  • Must Go!

    "Game Over!"

    by Odnis

    This movie was long, intense, and just pure genious. My favorite among Fight Club, And Saving Private Ryan. If you rate it an "Oh no!" You shouldn't watch movies!

  • Must Go!

    A classic

    by brettj

    How could anyone give this an "Oh No?"

  • Must Go!

    Hell yes!

    This is the first movie where a woman kicks *** throughout the whole movie. Rock on! I always loved this one more than the others in the series.
