I'm sensing a trend.. "B movie, star wars but not, plus robots, lots of robots" hehe. I think some of these would have been seen, but some of these might be good for movie club! Cheers.

Thanks! Unfortunately, most of them have watched them all. I think only one dude hasn't and he won't commit to watching them all dammit. He also hasn't seen Pulp Fiction.

And the funny thing is I was trying to mix it up. Honestly was. I guess alot of b movies involve robots. Second, Robots were not the reason for me suggesting those, Virus in particular came to mind because while the film is bad, It made heavy use of pratical effects and animatronics for the monsters, clever and creepy lighting, etc. It's worth watching for that. Evolver is just... Mid 90's scifi cheesiness that is fun to watch because of how utterly stupid the entire concept of the film is. In a way, it almost plays as a loving parody of much better films. (Terminator, Wargames)

It was only a couple haha. Yeah, no, there's a good mix there. I'll sound some out when it's my turn to choose for movie club. I think a few of them are mostly drawn to horrors, but it'd be nice to take a break from that genre so I could watch films with others in the room who are usually too scared of horrors XD

Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction other good ones on my list.

I've actually not seen Scarface or Reservoir Dogs. Reckon either would be a good movie club recommendation for my colleagues too?

Depends on how old your coworkers are. I'm sure some could see the movies as off-color, though they're classics.
