If you like Down Periscope... you might also enjoy Pentagon Wars. Kelsey Grammer at his best 
Some more recent films, especially if you enjoy the 'tough' guy films of the 60s and 70s.... try We Do It The Old Way, a film about the reformation of some unsavoury characters to deal with today's unsavoury characters. And Harry Brown... Micheal Caine as a pensioner who's had enough.
Just watched The Survivalist and not sure whether I enjoyed it or not. It was interesting, but a bit gratuitous.
Action wise, if you haven't seen John Wick yet, its a must see. Very much looking forward to the sequel.
And despite what is said about Adam Sandler, and the fact that this film was pulled from cinema release and went straight to digital download, The Cobbler isn't a half bad film. Its not as funny as I'd hoped, but I like the story.

Thumbs up for John Wick, ninety minutes of pure whoop bottom
DeadPool has also earned a spot in my DVD collection as the antidote for the Marvel/X-men franchise.
Machete & its sequel Machete Kills starring Danny Trejo with a surprising number of famous faces in the supporting cast is a good excuse to break out the Dorito's and a bottle of Tequila.

I watched these two last night, first, Triple 9 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzUtr5sjRvU good, action packed crime thriller, about bent cops and drug cartels.
Then, The Legand of Tarzen : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj7ty6sViiU a good watch, with spectacular wild life scenes, and special affects. A good movie all the family can sit down and watch

Watched Spud and Spud 2 last night... not to everyone's taste, but it's about a boy who attends boarding school in South Africa.
Deadpool is one of my favourite films at the moment, but then I've been obsessed with Deadpool in the comics for years. Having such a good representation on film is amazing... but a thoroughly good and extremely funny film.
A recommend, which I'm watching later today, is Raising Arizona. It's a bit daft, but its genuinely funny unlike some films that try to pass as comedy these days.

Dog Soldiers - Technically a low budget 'B' horror movie but is still holding the fort very well for its age and a must watch if you plan on wild camping in Scotland.
Dune [1984] & the six part mini-series in 2000 - I know Science Fiction is not everyone’s cup of tea but think of it more like a collaborative work between Shakespeare and Machiavelli, Star Wars it is not.
Just seen Star Trek: Beyond and whilst it's big, action packed with lots of great special effects it probably won't make into my collection till it turns up in the bargain bucket of clearance sale DVD's. The story/plot just didn't do it for me and have fingers crossed for the new Star Trek: Discovery TV series.

Aye, i agree, Dog soldiers is best watched just before you plan on going wildcamping for the first time
Nosferatu the vampyre, Klaus Kinski version
Let the right one in, the original not the American remake

The problem I have with Dog Soldiers is every time I watch it, I just think of Lassie... no idea why, just do.
The one I'd recommend before a bit of wilding camping (especially in the winter) is The Grey. That gave me nightmares for a week!
A recent favourite of mine, Dredd... its a reboot of the Judge Dredd comicbook to screen, but this one has been done properly.
Discovered another Spud movie, titled in the obvious way as Spud 3.
Those with a strong stomach and fans of Rutger Hauer will probably enjoy Hobo with a Shotgun, just don't expect Bladerunner quality.

An older flick (1995) Last of The Dogmen with Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey https://youtu.be/znHjT9Av8Gw and
Bone Tomahawk - Suprisingly good western, action-horror that has one of the most brutal death scenes you will ever see in a film.
Stranger Things - Not a film but deserves a mention because its quite good and it is one for fans of 80's films. Kind of like Goonies meets silent Hill.

Couple of excellent rarer films which spring to mind.
The Dancer Upstairs, Javier Bardem is the cop in corrupt south america tracking down the leader of a cult, which is overthrowing the government, directed by john malkovich.
The reckoning, starring willem dafoe, and a host of other good actors, 2003, set in the north of england, during medievel times, a travelling group of actors, arrive in a town, where a murder has taken place, under the castle of a norman lord, and they decide to re-enact the murder on stage in the town. The first time its been done. Up until then all 'players' re-enacted bible stories.
Both brilliant books as well.

The Rundown (2003) with Dwayne Johnson https://youtu.be/2-d1LJ66Nyw Comedy/adventure.
Walking tall, the original (1973) with Joe Don Baker https://youtu.be/tfEWDBpgVrg Much closer to the true story it was based on than the 2004 remake.
