Dogville is weird isn't it moo, kind of felt like I'd been through the mill after watching that one. That horrid neck brace thing made me feel ill

Robin Hood - Prince of Leaves. 'the sherf of Notting Ham...'

Tokyo Story. A film being slow and old is not therefore a classic.

Prospero's Books. Oh man.

Easy Rider. Except for the bit with 'Get your motor running'.

Oh I am all disappointed now teadrinker. Mind you i don't fancy TC or NK in the slightest, so I would be disadvantaged anyway.

Chicago - just how bad was that film? Catherine Zeta Jones got an oscar for dancing around like a carthorse

Glen Garry Glen Ross - noone has probably heard of it but with Kevin Spacey and Jack Lemon I thought it was a sure winner. However the most depressing, pointless, soul destroying twaddle I've ever see.

Pagan - I say GGGR. Albeit on stage. I enjoyed it but then lots of plays don't transfer well to film.

Phone Booth
Jackie Brown (one & only time I've seen a Tarantino movie)
O Brother Where Art Thou - even George Clooney didn't make up for a very bizarre film

would say austin powers but I walked out so didn't waste that much time. ditto for some formulaic twaddle staring george clooney and michelle pfeiffer - the name escapes me.

THe first lord of the rings was ok but after that it was just one dreary geeky wet dream battle after another. plus that whole hobbit fat neck thing freaked me out.

brother where art thou is fabulous!

Loved Lost in Translation - love Bill Murray

However, should have walked out of Pretty Woman, Chicago, that Nicholas Cage/Laura Dern one - Wild at Heart and thought My Own Private Idaho was a load of pretentious shite

Killing Zoe - manages to be both dull and offensive at the same time.

I've only seen about 3 of the films mentioned

But Moulin Rouge, whoever said that????? Ilove that film, and it's got Ewan McGregor in, so it must be good

blair witch
Young Adam, sooo boring and depressing
Notting Hill what a load of tosh, not sure how I ever got to go to it in fact as is not my kind of thing at all
The English Patient I didn't like at all
That one recently about the climate change, The day after tomorrow was it? American schmaltz at it most cringe-inducing

Gangs of New York... sooooo boring and just plain silly. Also Lord of the Rings for same reason.

Pagan, am sad you didn't rate Glengarry Glen Ross -I think its a masterpiece!

school of rock - supposedly works on two levels (ie: adult and children)but works on neither. The most fun I had was returning it to the video store where I accosted a couple about to hire the same film and told them not to waste their money or their evening.

I loved GGGR as well and School Of Rock. Oh dear. Films are definitely better on the cinema than video though
