Hello all, 

'Tron' (1982) could also be of interest!

Best wishes,

Hi all,

There are some fantastic suggestions here. I'm not sure about the etiquette of this & apologies if this is a breach of it, but would anyone mind if I compiled these titles into a blog post? Obviously I'd list all the people who've contributed them.

Cheers,
Mark
