What movie is extremely overrated, in your opinion?

[bobweaver]

What movie did you go to because millions of other people did, or rented based on everyone telling you it was "great," or bought the DVD of based on glowing reviews - and were so disappointed in you wanted your money back - if only you could get it?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

1. Master and Commander

took three tries to finally get into it enough to watch it all the way through.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I just couldn't get into it. But I liked Master and Commander.

[Liberal Veteran]

4. Philistine! ESOTSM was art!

A pox on you!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Sorry. I thought it was kind of boring. I finished it only because

I'd rented the DVD and felt I should get my money's worth. It's quite true that I'm a Philistine, though.

[hangemhigh]

21. Hated it, too. nt

[tridim]

37. See my post from earlier today.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2293504&mesg_id=2293504

Please try harder to "get into it", because it's brilliant. Have you ever had a relationship?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. Maybe someday

when I've run out of other boring things to do. Of course I've had a relationship. I just didn't care much for the movie; thought it was self-consciously arty.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. "Jackie Brown". Slow paced dreck. 70's music fetish does not a great

movie make. Tarantino is a skilled cinematographer and is good at "attitude" and snappy dialogue, but Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were the peak for him. More hype than anything since.

On edit, I'm not so sure if "Jackie Brown" was rated all that high anyway!

[brentspeak]

64. That film was overrated especially by critics

who earlier had gotten burned for not rating "Reservoir Dogs" highly. Roger Ebert, for instance. He gave "Reservoir Dogs" a thumbs-down when it was released, then later was embarrassed when it everyone else recognized it as the excellent film that it was. Not wanting to be in the wrong-side-of-critical-opinion again, Ebert gave the thumb's up to the boring, almost pornographic "Jackie Brown".

[PurityOfEssence]

73. Tarantino's best movie, bar none

It's ABOUT something, unlike the others.

Tarentino's not a cinematographer; he hasn't shot a single one of his movies.

The only thing you're right about is that it wasn't all that well received.

It's a movie about redemption and second chances; it's full of odd little connections and realizations, and it's done in an ever-changing rhythm that mirrors the disconnected moments and flipping of initiative.

[da_chimperor]

5. The lord of the rings trilogy

I really do like Tolkien, I just didn't have any real desire to see the movies. All three movies I went with the same friend who would drag me along. Hell, I'll watch anything as long as I have enough popcorn.

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Philistine! LOTR was art!

A pox on you!

[da_chimperor]

22. It's been a long time since someone called me a philistine

Thanks. :D

[nicolemrw]

12. amen

talk about things that should NEVER have been filmed. tolkien is spinning.

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. I think as interpretations of Tolkien, the movies are bad, as films alone

I think they're great and deserve every award they got, but thats just my opinion. :)

[nicolemrw]

28. yeah, but they aren't just films alone,

they are supposedly interpretations of tolkien, and as that they fail dismally. if wasshisname wanted to make great movies, he should have just made them without hanging on to tolkiens shirt-tails.

[Skittles]

81. one was enough for me

ugh

[SweetLeftFoot]

98. LOTR

True, The only good things about the endless LOTR movies was the stunning Kiwi landscape and the Aussie cators popping up in the most unlikely places - David Wenham ... from Seachange to The Boys to this tripe!

The books are crap too. Over-written self-indulgent racist stuff that wouldn't have been out of place in Der Sturmer.

[Left Is Write]

7. I'll surely get flamed for this, but

I have to say "The Princess Bride."

Maybe I'm the only person on the planet who feels this way, but I just do.not.get the mad love for this movie.

[NuttyFluffers]

49. philistine! The Princess Bride was art!

a pox on you! :P

(hey! that was fun! i might do this again sometime!)

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

Lost in Translation

I LOVE Bill Murray and that movie was hyped up to be sooo great. I mean - meh, it was ok... but quite a letdown,

[Ilsa]

13. That story let me down also.

I thought what's her name directed it well, and it had some artsy moments, but overall, I crashed on it.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

18. Exactly!! Visually appealing movie, but the story was so damn...

bland.

[bobweaver]

66. It could have been a great comedy, but they wasted far too much time on

scenes of Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanson just being bored together. Being bored together does not necessarily create a bond or produce an interesting movie.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

67. Yes, or coulda been a great drama... but... BLAHH!!!!

What a waste of talented actors!

[TahitiNut]

69. As someone who's traveled more than enough on business ...

... I loved it. It was not only an homage to Platonic love, it aptly portrayed the barren aspect of solo business travel, especially in a country where one is additionally isolated by the barriers of language and culture. I often think Bill Murray gets too little respect for his acting abilities. He turns in an exceptionally nuanced performance when the role allows it.

[bobweaver]

70. He was superb in "Groundhog Day"

[TahitiNut]

101. I wholeheartedly agree.

'Groundhog Day' is one of my "top 100" favorite movies. It's far more than a superficial comedy - and one of Harold Ramis' best. (I also regard Harold Ramis as a near-genius.) Bill Murray deserved more than just an MTV Movie Award nomination for his performance, imho. It was brilliant. It's tough for me to view Murray as a romantic lead - but his performance buried my reticence.

Like most, I enjoy comedy, but I regard comedy used as a vehicle for certain philosophical reflections ('message' movies, about values) as a high art form. Harold Ramis is a master. Comedy as mere slapstick is thin, but comedy as coequal to tragedy as a dramatic vehicle is the test of a true master.

[jpgray]

90. A-motherfuckin-men

Japanese people are funny! Hollywood starlets are dopey and superficial! Let's do a half hour of fish-out-of-water and surround it with "arty" shots and "oh the ennui" stares. And let's put some fucking new wave in it to make sure everyone knows it's a Sofia Coppola jerkoff at its core. At least she's not acting in it.

:D

[proud2BlibKansan]

93. I agree

I just saw it recently and at the end I was like WTF??

They could have at least had a sex scene with Bill and Scarlet Johansen.

[Phentex]

103. I enjoyed it but thought I just didn't "get it." It was overhyped to me.

[mtnsnake]

115. Not only did Lost in Translation disappoint, but it PISSED ME OFF!!!!

I think it's the first movie where I've ever felt that way. I can't believe the hype this piece of crap of a movie got. It pissed me off because it was so lame that anyone with half a brain could make something like that and make a fortune off it, too.

[nicolemrw]

8. the return of the king (lord of the rings no. 3)

it S*U*C*K*E*D. tolkien is spinning in his grave i'm sure. the first one was great, the second was ok with a few problems, but the third? *shudder*

[Ilsa]

9. 1980's The Breakfast Club

Some many thought it was hot. I was pissed about the teenage girl in black who got the makeover so she'd be more attractive to the "stud" wrestler.

[Boswells_Johnson]

10. Kill Bill

Yeah, it's visually interesting, but it's gone like a fart. There's no lasting value to it...much like the "art" it was reflecting, I suppose.

[Tweed]

77. Good analysis

Great films are suppose to linger with you. Kill Bill left me right after I saw the credits. Thank God too, it was a piece of crap.

[arwalden]

11. Passion Of The Christ

:barf:

[Liberal Veteran]

23. Yeah....nothing like a long snuff flick to make you feel close to God.

LOL

[Wickerman]

14. Gigli

even all the bad press didn't do it justice.

[kodi]

15. titanic

.

[Mistress Quickly]

19. I agree Titanic

couldn't even watch the whole thing. Awful.

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Someone care to tell me HOW Titanic won Best Picture?!

Especially up against L.A. Confidential and Good Will Hunting. God, 3 hours of pure crap.

[bobweaver]

82. It was a mass hallucination of the Academy of M.P.A.S. - but at least...

...they had the good sense to NOT nominate James Cameron for best screenplay. "Contact" came out the same year as "Titanic" and IMHO, "Contact" was superior to "Titanic" in most ways, expecially in story and script - but every bit as good in special effects, cinematography, acting and direction. I believe Titanic deserved some awards for set direction, art direction and possibly cinematography. The award for cinematography was a close race between Contact, Titanic, and Kundun, and if I were a voter I would have probably voted for Kundun. Titanic did not deserve any nominations for acting or writing, but nominations for directing and best picture may have been deserved -hell if they could nominate The Towering Inferno for best picture, why not Titanic.

[PurityOfEssence]

75. Boy, are you right

Sometimes it takes lots of money to really make a piece of shit.

It's reverse engineering to make a popular movie: trapped quasi-rich girl only finds love among the lower classes, because only they truly experience life. The rich are stuffy losers, except for Molly Brown, who is actually a poor girl who made good.

The dialogue is dreadful, and the moments of cinematic joy are so calculated that you can literally trace their origins.

I'll give Cameron this: the sinking sequence is hella good filmmaking.

The mechanical manipulation is so obvious that scenes like the little boy waiting in the flooded passageway are offensive even as their cloying appeal tugs at your heartstrings.

Dreadful.

[Patiod]

105. I've said it once, and I'll say it again

We kept wanting to yell "get off the f$%king boat!!!"

And when they were on the ice floe, I whispered to SO, "oh for god's sake, let go already."

God, I hated it.

[AllyCat]

133. Dreadful movie!

The Hallmark version was actually pretty good from several years before this amalgamation of everything Hollywood.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. The Butterfly Effect

Everyone told me it was brilliant and that I would love it. Neither was true. Mediocre movie filled wit plotholes and bland acting and direction.

[MissBrooks]

24. The English Patient

I could barely sit through it.
What a waste of two + hours of my life.

[derbstyron]

33. I figured someone would mention this

and I totally agree.

I kept thinking to myself, "God, please die already!"

[MissBrooks]

36. Agreed!

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is the only person who hated the English Patient.

I really could relate to that!

:LOL:

[derbstyron]

45. Oh God, yes

There was a thread a while back, similar to this, and I got into a discussion with a seinfeld fan, who wanted me to tell them the plot (always a difficult thing to do with a seinfeld, episode)

Petermen sends Elaine to the caves, where it was filmed,
for "inspiration."

hahahahah

[Fenris]

26. "The Royal Tennenbaums"

Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson write quirky characters. Unfortunately, these characters lack a shred of realism. The pretentiousness in this movie just poured off the screen.

I am fully aware that I am probably in the minority that hated this movie. But nothing will convince me this film had any worth other than as an example of how one can overdevelop characters until they become absurd caricatures.

[MsConduct]

89. I'm with you on this. So many talented people in such a waste of

film. I wonder if they hated making it as much as I hated trying to watch the damned thing.

[Patiod]

106. I loved Rushmore, but hated Tannenbaums

was hoping they would all just shoot themselves at the end

[MissBrooks]

122. Dreadful!

[jellybelly]

27. American Beauty

It was boring...

[Bluebear]

55. It was perfection

But, different strokes.

[bobweaver]

65. I thought it was very good until... (spoiler)

(spoiler)

The neighbor came over in the rain to Kevin Spacey's garage and tried to kiss him. That part seemed cloying and hard to believe. If they had left out that scene, the movie would have been a lot more believable just as it was. The scene of the plastic bag blowing around in the wind is the best scene.

[Tweed]

78. IMHO

The scene with the plastic blowing bag is nothing but pure bullshit. I like symbolism, but give me a break.

[bobweaver]

80. I didn't see it as symbolism, just a "zen moment". The screenwriter,

Alan Ball, wrote later that the scene actually happened to him on a windy Sunday (I think Easter Sunday) right outside the World Trade Center in New York (obviously before the 9/11 attacks), where he was alone on a side street, and there was this plastic bag blowing around and dancing around him in circles. He said it was a moment he never forgot, and he wrote it into his screenplay. I know it can seem meaningless but IMHO I thought it was a very effective moment...

[Robeson]

29. Anything with the name Shreck in it...

[brentspeak]

60. Very much agreed

The "Shrek" movies are not very funny, nor are they original. The films employ lots of pop-culture references; and the use of them is already a 90's/00's Hollywood cliche.

And "Shrek's" computer animation technology was nothing new, having been beaten out by "Toy Story" a couple years earlier.

[jonnyblitz]

30. Dogma

and I am an atheist even. oh well. :shrug:

[justa]

31. The last samurai

[fluffernutter]

46. could the ending have been any more cheesy?

all the samurai's die, but good ole Tom is still standing. :eyes:

[fluffernutter]

32. Blair Witch Project.

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Overrated? Almost everyone I've ever mentioned it to hated it.

I loved it however.

[fluffernutter]

44. when it first came out the hype was crazy.

most people around here were saying how "real" it was.

for me, it was awful, i could barely watch the whole thing, and only did hoping that it would get better.

but to each their own :)

[Longgrain]

47. Kind if like my weird self portrait

If you know what I mean!

P.M. If you're around...

[brentspeak]

61. Overrated, yes. But it did have a very good ending

Blair Witch would have made a great 20-minute student film project, as the final 10-minutes (and especially the ending) were chilling. The other 110 minutes were a waste.

[brentspeak]

62. "Driving Miss Daisy", "Rain Man"

Unmoved, unimpressed by both Oscar-winning films.

[qnr]

34. Signs n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

35. Yeah...cause if aliens are gonna invade a world, invading one that..

...that is covered with a toxic substance (water in this case) is REALLY SMART!

[qnr]

39. Yeah, and totally disregarding how they don't want to use

high technology, how can you travel through interstellar space, and not know how to work a force a door open?

[jellybelly]

40. oh my God!

You're right! I never even thought about the water while watching the movie. You is smart:toast:

[qnr]

52. One of the things I hated most was the bit about "Everything you've

learned in science books is about to change." What a stupid *#)$&^#+! comment... and repeated. How the hell would visiting aliens change what I'd read about photosynthesis.... plate tectonics.... the chemical composition of the Sun.

[jellybelly]

38. 'Signs' is the worst of the bunch!

'The Village' was also full of crap

[tridim]

42. Totally agree

M. Night Shamalan is overrated himself. All his movies are terrible.. "I see a crappy movies".

[qnr]

43. True, but I loved the "I see dumb people" joke caption after the 2000

(s)election.

[NuttyFluffers]

54. i agree. outside of Sixth Sense the rest repulsed me.

Sixth Sense was entertaining for me, but it was waaaay overhyped.

I *loathe* Unbreakable. one of the few movies i actually shouted back at the screen that it was a piece of shit. i had to physically get up and leave at one point because i was going to slug someone if i had to sit and watch another moment. i had to come back because my friend was still watching, but i gave myself a 10 min. breather and went to the bathroom.

Signs is just a Lifetime, Television for Women alien horror movie. "I shall save my husband and children by dying horribly and using my mother's intuition to send a precog message from the beyond....." sob, sob, munch some popcorn, isn't she so brave, *sniff*... yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.

what movie appalled me was AI. oh my god, that was such a horrible movie. i had to mentally detach myself because i felt a migraine forming from the sheer horribleness of the film. i received the sensation that i was being mentally raped and had to disconnect to save myself. ugh, so bad!!

[tridim]

68. I wasn't sickened by AI

but definitely disappointed. It ~could~ have been much better I think. Honestly Haley Joel Osmant (sp) really annoys me. Maybe that explains my hatred for The Sixth Sense. Naw, it was the whole thing. Why did everyone like that movie? I've yet to figure that out.

[NightTrain]

50. Out of Africa.

I love Meryl Streep, and I know that "Out of Africa" won Best Picture for 1985; but that movie bored the living fuck out of me! :boring:

[Sanity Claws]

53. Amen

[freestyle]

130. But the scenery was nice.

Out of Africa is on my list, but not at the top.

[EX-CONservative]

51. Lost in Translation!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIINNNNGG!

[tcfrogs]

87. Sorry, you missed the boat

Great flick

[Bluebear]

56. Mystic River

[qnr]

58. Yeah, guess I just don't care for Eastwood. I wasn't that impressed

with Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil either.

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. I guess I can see how someone wouldn't like it, it is dark and depressing

but I love Tim Robbins so much! And Sean Penn is always a great actor to watch.

[devilgrrl]

85. You got that right!!!!

The end of that movie infuriated me to no end after dragging you around for what seemed like eight hours. Eastwood is so overrated. Did anyone see 'Bird'? Utter crap!

[NuttyFluffers]

57. anything Steven Seagal.

in fact, most "Explosa-thon" (tm) flicks are pretty overrated. that includes most schwarzennegger, bruce willis, stallone, will smith, lungren, keanu reeves, etc. most of them are pretty bad. a few exceptions, of course, but par for the course is just generic jerry bruckheimer schlock. i avoid action flicks if i can, most of them are just bad.

oh, and now that i'm older, can't stand Top Gun. though Red Dawn is hilarious! :P Wolverines!!!

[jellybelly]

59. SEVEN!

....the stupid movie about the seven sins starring Brad Pitt. I walked out of the theater.

[mitchum]

71. Since the opening credits were the best part, you really missed nothing

It really was a stupid piece of trash

[Kurovski]

72. I'm almost afraid of posting this, but

the movie was "Seabiscuit."

[bobweaver]

83. I thought Seabiscut was very poorly recorded...

When watching it on video, the sound kept alternating between scenes where the dialog was at whisper level and scenes where the sound was so loud I had to turn down the volume. I had to adjust the volume either up or down about 20 times during the movie. This was very distracting and I thought the experience of watching the movie suffered greatly because of it. And to think that this movie recieved an Oscar nomination for best sound! Unbelievable. The academy voters must be all half-deaf retirees in Palm Springs, who watched it with the closed captions on their TVs.

[Kurovski]

84. I saw it on video.

I couldn't even finish watching (or listening.)

[Patiod]

108. Aw, I loved Seabiscuit

The sound might have been bad, but I really enjoyed it. Especially since the basic story was true.

Maybe it helped that the book was a favorite of mine.

[sbj405]

134. That was my pick. You beat me to it.

It just sorta dragged on.

[politicat]

74. Flame if you must, but Pulp Fiction.

Plot: Not original, other than the non-linear chronology. It's basically a collage of every poorly executed 70s crime drama, using every gangster motif possible in the shortest possible time span. Even the non-linearity is not original; flashback and forward are pretty common techniques. As a member of the audience, you never connect with the characters and you never care about them so the violence descends into the Tom and Jerry level quickly.

Acting: Pedestrian. Harvey Keitel did a decent job, but everyone else played a stereotype. It kinda launched Steve Buscemi (out of small film, anyway), and for that I'm greatful for it, but I think it also contributed to his typing as skinny maniac. Christopher Walken played Christopher Walken. Did Uma Thurman act?

Dialogue was dull and dated even before it hit the screen, and there's such a thing as too many pop culture references. It was mall chat.

Poor cinamatography; it was grainy and the print I saw was overdeveloped. Bad camera angles even for trying to be edgy.

I watched it for film class and I was very excited to see it... and ended up terribly let down.

[Kire]

107. I must.

[mtnsnake]

111. I agree on Pulp Fiction

This was a film I thought I'd love, and everything about it let me down. It was so disappointing, I can't even remember that much about it.

[Tweed]

76. Donnie Darko

[yorgatron]

79. Citizen Kane

:puke:

[Patiod]

109. Aw geez, I loved Donnie Darko

And it certainly wasn't over-rated --- nobody really saw it. I ask people all the time if they've seen it, and NO ONE has seen it.

The first time I saw it, I didn't really get it. But when it ended, I had SO go back and play it again - stayed up until 2am re-watching it.

Plus the music was amazing.

[zann725]

86. "Seabiscuit" (the newer version)

So boring...yawn!

[u4ic]

92. War Admiral was even smaller than Seabiscuit

but of course, you'd never have known given the silly blow up version of him.

[gardenista]

88. The English Patient. Except the parts with Juliet Binoche. nt

[u4ic]

91. Gosford Park

[Moloch]

94. Gone With The Wind...

aaaaahhhhh So boring.

[RevCheesehead]

95. Top Gun

I just don't get it.
The guy flies planes. Big f'ing deal. So did the terrorists.

[6000eliot]

96. Forrest Gump

Reactionary trash!

[Patiod]

110. The book was funnier

[6000eliot]

132. Agreed

They missed the entire point of the book in making the film.

[ET Awful]

97. Any film by QuentinTarantino. n/t

[everythingsxen]

99. I just watched the answer -- Napoleon Dynamite

What a fucking crappy movie.

I could have stood in the bathroom and taken a better dump than that steaming pile of crap.

I wish I had a lobotomy so I could have enjoyed that piece of utter garbage which so many people have told me "is so awesome".

Please kill me.

[Runcible Spoon]

118. awww no way!

"Sorry I was late, I just got done taming a wild honeymoon stallion" BWAHAHAHAHAH! Classic. "Dude, are you going to eat your tots?". I swear, the cheeseball wolf and horsey T-shirts Napoleon wears are enuff to send me into stitches!

[davis_islander]

100. Monster's Ball

Major disjointed snoozefest. Puffy needs to stick to rapping for sure, man can't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

[NewJeffCT]

114. come on

Any movie with a topless & writhing Halle Berry can't be that bad!

[ThorsHammer]

102. American Beauty, Lost in Translation, Blair Witch, Royal Tenebaums

[Tyrone Slothrop]

104. The Godfather

I'm sure I'll take a lot of heat for this one, but I've never quite understood the adoration this movie gets.

I do find it watchable and even enjoyable at times, but I frequently see this listed among the top 5 movies ever made (with many people citing it as their end all/be all best movie ever). Which frankly boggles my mind. I'm not even sure I'd consider it the best gangster/mob movie ever.

[NewJeffCT]

113. philistine! The first two Godfather movies are art

The atmosphere, the acting, the story...

[ProfessorGAC]

119. You Were Too Kind!

Those movies could NEVER, EVER, EVER, be overrated. Now, the third one was a trainwreck! But, we'll leave that aside.
The Professor

[Tyrone Slothrop]

121. You really think that The Godfather is the BEST movie ever?

n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

123. No. Godfather Part II Is

The first is great. The second is the perfectly crafted movie with one performance overreaching the others. Brilliantly shot, with a great script, and superb performances.

Best movie ever!
The Professor

[Tyrone Slothrop]

124. Well, we were talking overrated

The Godfather I is currently #1 on imdb's top 100 list, and it was #1 in the Zagat's movie guide that came out a year or so ago. I think this is overrated, IMHO.

As far as The Godfather II - I haven't seen it. I was never taken enough with the first one to bother watching the sequel. (I may have to at some point though; I have to sit through seemingly endless debates on which of the two is better whenever I get together with my buddies to play poker.)

I'd take a Renoir or a Kurosawa or a Kubrick over The Godfather any day of the year.

[ProfessorGAC]

128. Different Strokes, I Guess

As long as Eyes Wide Shut isn't one of the Kubrick films. That's clearly his worst work.
The Professor

[WoodrowFan]

112. Porkies

no, seriously, it seemed like everybody thought it was sooo funny! back in the day, I just thought it was cruel and stupid!~

[JohnKleeb]

126. I was told it was awesome by a good friend of mine

Saw it when I was umm 13 and it wasn't that great but hey maybe its better now that I am older.

[NewJeffCT]

116. Fatal Attraction, Field of Dreams, Shakespeare in Love, Chicago

Fatal Attraction - no realism for me, as I couldn't see any guy going for crappy looking Glenn Close over Anne Archer.

Field of Dreams - I remember when it came out, I heard stories of it bringing men to tears. I was unmoved and I think it started my souring on baseball - I used to love the national pastime, but now hardly follow it.

Shakespeare in Love - not too bad, but best picture?

Chicago - same as Shakespeare in Love.

Unforgiven - just never liked Westerns.

[DelawareValleyDem]

117. Silence of the Lambs

[NewJeffCT]

120. a lot of people hated "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

It was loved by critics, though.

[VolcanoJen]

125. Apocalypse Now

I'm reasonably certain I'm the only American alive who just didn't care for this film.

I'm a fan of the war film genre in general, and it took me years to finally get around to watching this supposed masterpiece, but I just don't get it.

It's overrated. "Full Metal Jacket" remains the Best. Vietnam. Movie. Ever. "Platoon" a close second, of course.

[everythingsxen]

131. All I would ask is - - - -

did you watch Apocolypse Now or Apocolypse Now - Redux?

I am also a huge war movie buff and it took me years to see it.

I didn't care for the original, but Redux's editing is better and seems to make more sense.

[freestyle]

127. Blair Witch Project was absolute, unmitigated, shit

and Sex, Lies, and Videotape is close behind.

[sundog]

129. The Hours
