I quite like "Hardware", its a Richard Stanley film. His other film "Dust Devil" was pretty good as well. Im quite a fan of Fields of the Nephilim (Stanley directed a few of their early music videos), and Carl McCoy makes an appearence as the desert wanderer that finds the robots head at the start of the film.

where is the little man?

Aliens.

I actually managed to get the missus to watch it last weekend, its 20 years since it was released and i've been with her 11 years its my favorite film of all time and she hadnt seen it once.

She didnt move through out the whole film and thought it was fantastic.

"She heard the word alien, thought they ment illegal alien and signed up"
"Screw you man"
"any time any place............."

Oh and my set of 12" colonial Marines turned up last week, all £250 worth of them.

quality movie, but i still think the original Ridley Scott's "Alien" is the best of all the alien movies
