If you don't mind, I'll toss in some Hong Kong action movies that I greatly enjoy.

Mister Vampire (directed by Tsui Hark, one of the first movies I saw that had the iconic Hopping Vampires of Chinese lore)

Chinese Ghost Story (Great, but it's on this list mainly so I can recommend the sequel)
Chinese Ghost Story II (Excellent movie.)

Anything directed by John Woo that has Chow Yun Fat in it. The examples I will list are these two:

The Killer
Hardboiled

I’ll second Mr Vampire, that’s one fun film
 
Also if we are going Hong Kong action films Encounters of the Spooky Kind is in a similar vein Winking smile
 
Sadly I’m not a fan of the combination of John Woo that has Chow Yun Fat.

I think I'm going to set up a google doc with the film list. 
My general plan is that the guest host and I would pick a film to watch and discuss. If audio needs to be pulled, I can do that but general time codes would be needed.

So many good movies already listed it's getting hard to name more!

John Carpenters "The Thing"
"The Blood of Heroes" (Rutger Hauer)
Monsters vs Aliens
Stardust
Rise of the Guardians
Equilibrium
The Forbidden Kingdom (Jackie Chan and Jet Li!)

I'm going to put "The Man from Earth" here even though there was a SciFI Dig episode where it was talked about. It's still a great film.

Be well,
Matthew

Hold on, I have a couple. Air is a recent one that got bad reviews, but I rather enjoyed. An old one that is a guilty pleasure is Dark Angel, otherwise known as I Come in Peace.

You know me, I like the comedy sci fi, so I'll suggest
Galaxy Quest, and if you do Shawn of the dead, gotta do Fido as well. Could do guardians of the galaxy, but maybe too new... how about Spaceballs?

It might be timely to look at the original West World film.
I've always had a soft spot for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
 The Time Machine and Day of the Triffids also come to mind.
