'Starship Toopers' was good fun, 'The Matrix' turned out to be a decent action film with some interesting Science Fiction Ideas - The sequels became increasingly absurd and tiresome with meaningless fight scenes that go on forever
I liked 'The Fifth Element' it was a bit of a mess to be honest, it had no real hook performance in it, though it was colourful, funny, offbeat - with some spectacular sequences, underserving of the mauling it received by Critics etc
I like Donnie Darko too, one of it's major strengths is it's feeling for time & Place, the Fashions, Colour, Haircuts, all seem just spot on for 1988 - For some reason, the Americans seem to be very good at this
the others I'll have to check out
I'm glad you didn't mention Armageddon, Independance Day, Serenity, Alien Ressurection
