Big Trouble in Little China -- two-disc Special Edition [DVD] [1986]
1.  Big Trouble in Little China -- two-disc Special Edition [DVD] [1986] DVD ~ Kurt Russell
The list author says:
  "It's all in the reflexes! Carpenter's A-budget flop with a B-budget heart is also one of his best. My personal favourite."

2.  The Fog (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979] DVD ~ Adrienne Barbeau

The Thing [DVD] [1982]
3.  The Thing [DVD] [1982] DVD ~ Kurt Russell
The list author says:
  "Another great ensemble piece. A brilliant atmospheric horror film, similar in tone to The Fog - an unnamed Lovecraftian terror lurking in the ether. A sci-fi/horror whodunnit set in a remote location."
£4.16   Used & New from: £0.89
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (189 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Prince of Darkness [DVD] [1988]
4.  Prince of Darkness [DVD] [1988] DVD ~ Donald Pleasence
The list author says:
  "Yet another great ensemble piece, this time with a cameo by Alice Cooper! This is a terrific movie filmed just after Big Trouble in Little China. Mixes quantum physics with horror bumpf to good effect"
Used & New from: £8.98

They Live [DVD]
5.  They Live [DVD] DVD ~ They Live
The list author says:
  "Casting Rowdy Roddy Piper as the lead protagonist may be the work of a genius or an absolute raving looney tune. Whatever your thoughts on this there's no denying the greatness of this sci-fi romp!"
£4.97   Used & New from: £4.17

Dark Star - [DVD] [1974]
6.  Dark Star - [DVD] [1974] DVD ~ Brian Narelle
The list author says:
  "I loved this one, very grungy and underground in tone. They're drifting through space blowing up planets without a care in the world. A student film project, this was a sign of greatness to come."
£5.99   Used & New from: £3.98
3.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Halloween [1978] [DVD]
7.  Halloween [1978] [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "A good slasher flick, if a little over-rated in my opinion. There's no denying the influence it has had on the horror genre though."
Used & New from: £0.91
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (138 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Escape From New York - Special Edition [DVD]
8.  Escape From New York - Special Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Escape from New York
The list author says:
  "Quite good, and an interesting - if a little gawky - dystopian vision of New York. Snake seems like Jack Burton to me, only minus the personality. Avoid the sequel like the plague!"
£9.00   Used & New from: £3.69

Used & New from: £28.99

Starman (Widescreen) [DVD]
10.  Starman (Widescreen) [DVD] DVD ~ Jeff Bridges
