Rightly so, a fantastic movie.
Many thanks to Downy for highlighting it!

It was on my shortlist, so I'm happy with that. The following films in the series were terrible - has there been a bigger gap in quality between a first movie and the sequals? (Say, is that a gauntlet laying on the floor...?)
To quote the film itself: "I have something to say. It's better to burn out than to fade away." The Highlander 'franchise' deinfitely faded away.

"I have something to say. It's better to burn out than to fade away." Quoting Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black). 1979. Great song.

(Say, is that a gauntlet laying on the floor...?) i don't know whether you've seen 'blair witch 2: book of shadows' but it has picked up that gauntlet and is busy slapping you round the mush with it...

How about 'The Matrix' and it's sequels? Or 'Ocean's Eleven'?

How about 'The Matrix' and it's sequels? Totally agree, utterly pointless sequels that just ruined the original. If they'd left it at just the first one it would have stood more chance of being remembered as a truly great movie.
