I liked "The Godfather", but (and don't take me wrong on this) the sequels utterly sucked IMHO, there was no need. Just as the original "Jurassic Park" is a great stand alone movie with suckee sequels so is "The Godfather". "Apocalypse Now" was a brilliant adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness".

Worst big name movie that comes to mind: Titanic. Other particularly bad movies: The Patriot Almost everything with Mel Gibson, except for Lethal Weapon The Village The 6th Sense Reservoir Dogs (sorry, just TOO gory) Troy Alexander Frankenstein (1994) Buffy the Vampire Slayer On the other hand, suprisingly GOOD bad movies (for watching something that you KNOW is Bad) a lot of old sci fi (ex. Soylent Green) Jaws Ghostbusters a lot of porn (ex. Gatorbait) a lot of cheap horror films (ex. Evil dead) foreign films pam

Pretty sure, the Evil Dead series has a lot more gore then Reservoir Dogs.

Directorily, Some Knucklehead in NJ If the topic of Apocalypse Now is ever broached, it has to be mentioned just how severely Marlon Brando fucked that movie up. It's still unquestionably a classic and amongst my favorites, but having read the original script and knowing what had to be changed due to Brando being a fat fuck and impossible to work with at that point... I'm left bitter because what could have been incredibly, incredibly special was lost. The direction and visuals within the movie are still amazing and almost unbelievable given that they weren't in a studio but rather on a river in the Philippines.

Everything that Shmyalan (sp?) has done since then has been crap. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was horrible. I heard that Howard the Duck was horrible too, but since nobody saw it... Let's Do It Again was pretty bad. Epic Movie was a mess. Big Trouble in Little China was so bad it was good. I agree about Buffy. Almost anything with Dudley Moore is bad, although he does well. Anything with Ben Affleck is bad because of him. Likewise Chevy Chase. Not all foreign film is good. I saw Mama Turns 100, a Mexican movie, and after it, my ex wife and I just turned to each other and asked "What the hell was THAT?" Some cool little known movies:Iron and Silk, and Black Orpheus. Dark Star. Mystery Men.

Another movie type that I forgot to mention that has started getting on my nerves has been the "Parody" genre. You know the one. Where there's several different movies just based on parodying other movies. They were funny at Scary Movie 1 & 2. But past that, it started getting old along with having the same joke, same punchline and ending up just being cutesy quick potty humor. You know what movie I thought was going to be bad but ended up being really good? One Hour Photo. I never expected Robin Williams play a stalker so well.

quote: ORIGINAL: ScatteredRose [clip] My Sir and I just got Netflix. Which is great, but the only thing that I find tiresome is when he picks a movie. Don't get me wrong, he has some great tastes, but there are times he wants to watch bad movies for the sake of watching a bad movie and that gets a tad ANNOYING. Not to say that my Sir is annoying. Bad movies are annoying. :3 XD I think he makes me watch them to torture me. Ah Sadism in its many forms... Oh, my God, are you seeing one of my ex-subs? Yes, I indulged him, I could have said, NO. (Well, I did, occasionally - there's amusingly bad, and then there's depressingly abysmal.) But then, I would have missed...hmmm I'm rethinking it.

I haven't enjoyed Depp in recent films lately.My favorite role of his was Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.Can't wait to see The Rum Dairy

quote: Can't wait to see The Rum Dairy Me neither! I haven't even heard of it, I'm going to have to look it up! The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly might be a good flick, but I just don't care for westerns that much unless it's something based on fact like Billy the Kid or whoever it was Brad Pitt played recently. See? That's how good those kind of films stick with me. Oh, yeah, it was Jesse James.

FR My faves, haven't seen them mentioned. 1. Aria 2. Withnail and I 3. Baraka 4. Koyaanisqatsi 5 The Exorcist (mentioned) I tend to like non storyliners, films of images and visual narrative. Exception being The Exorcist - very underrated, remembered for headspinning etc but so evocatively eerie at the time.
