can't say I'm a connoisseur of his work as you clearly are. I just hope he isn't getting his "finest" from around where I grew up
Maybe I'm just an immature idiot but I love Adam Sandler films (obviously jack and jill was **** but most others are good imo.) even the newer "that's my boy" I thought was pretty funny. A lot of really good films mentioned on this thread although a few that haven't been Lawless Public Enemy Saving Private Ryan Fight Club Snatch
The Rollerball remake was the worst ****e I think I've ever seen. The Grudge was pretty awful. The Wrong Turn was so bad it was amusing.
The Grudge was a poor poor film. Which also reminds me of Gothika another poor film, though it did inspire me to write "Not Alone" in very thin vaseline across my sister's bathroom mirror when I visited not long after seeing it. It was quite amusing when it next steamed up
The remake of Rollerball, my god, I'd forgotten about that. Absolute ****e. But most remakes tend to be garbage - see the moronic slop that was the new Total Recall.
Worst film I've ever seen has to be Piranha. Even though I found myself watching it right till the end....
thats one of those films thats so terrible that you watch it through, plus if your talking about the one with kelly brook thats not a bad thing. Anyone seen sharknado? I haven't but I've heard thats generally one of the worst films of all time.
Westerns: True Grit, Lonesome Dove Action: Goodfellows, Midnight Run (DeNiro) Local: Kes, Rita,Sue & Bob Too. War: Longest Day, Platoon Comedy: Good Morning Vietnam Just afew that springs to mind.
Only seen a little bit of the original, I got the feeling it was violent for the sake of being violent. Funny thing was when it the remake was reviewed on BBC Film they were talking about the humour in the first one. I didn't see any
Re: Robocop original. It was a satire on 80s big business mixed with sci-fi ultra-violence. There's plenty in it that's funny, but if you didn't live through those times or can't remember them now, then it wouldn't really mean anything or be funny. Back to the crapfest though - Transcendence with Johnny Depp. Starts off alright but then it appears people who know nothing about computers or technology, or in fact film-making, took over. The last half hour is so stupid, so ridiculous I was shouting abuse at the end credits.
Showgirls is ****ing pony. the shag scene in the pool is hysterical though, comedy gold, I couldn't knock a mix out I was laughing that much
