Unbreakable.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the exact opposite of Unbreakable. I find the cast just okay, but thought the movie was awesome.

I know there are a lot of people here who seem to like this movie, but I found it absolutely vomit inducing. Slower than traffic out of New Orleans on Sunday, and the "shocker" ending where the villain reveals that his mission in his life is to get defeated by the hero? Yuck. Most retarded villain ever. Also, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis aren't exactly small time actors.

Anyway, I haven't seen Sin City, so I can't comment on that. I'm tempted to change my vote for Gigli, though. I'm not sure if that movie's increased suckiness in the numerator makes up for JLo's lesser reputation in the denomiator.

His goal was to find a hero to his Villian. It's a pretty basic premise in comics that the Villian needs the Hero around for conflict and to give them a challenge.

People answering Heat or Sin City to this question deserve to be strapped in a chair with their eyes spread wide open, Clockwork Orange style and be forced to watch Ocean's 12 over and over again, because that is the only correct answer.

sky captain and the world of tomorrow

league of extraordinary gentleman-i say this because sean connery brings SUPERSTAR STATUS to any cast and counts for like 5 tom cruise actors.

the thin red line was AWESOME, i enjoyed this movie. i think you went into this expecting saving private ryan, what we got was a different perspective on war movies. i liked this one, but i think i'm the only one that will defend this flick. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The ending was such a major letdown though. Ruined the buildup. No final battle, no comic-bookesque ingenious devious trap to foil the hero when he finds out the truth? Just a "hah hah biatch, I'm the villian, TWIST!" So instead of what could have been an awesome scene, he walks out, and the subtitle says he calls the cops on him and they arrest him? I mean, really, WTF? What kind of a half-ass, anticlimatic conclusion is that?

The Thin Red Line.

What do I win?

Worst. Movie. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

Most. Played. Out. Response. Ever.

Anyhow... The Thin Red Line is excellent. Very different approach compared to Saving Private Ryan, but an excellent war movie nonetheless. (BTW, I loved most of SPR as well).

Also to the poster who dissed The Royal Tenenbaums... well, I don't know what to say. Wes Anderson is one of the most creative writer/directors going at the moment... and this may have been his best.

Sky Captain was great to look at but I was bored to tears once the novelty wore off.

The Island of Dr. Moreau (Kilmer, Brando) - wonderfully awful.

Oceans Twelve

Much of Robert Altman's stuff (Dr. T and the Women, Cookie's Fortune - vs. his good stuff like Gosford Park, Mash and Nashville)

Although most rate it highly, Mystic River was a big miss for me. Sean Penn's acting was way, WAY over the top - cringeworthy stuff.(He was much better in 21 Grams).

Questions like this are always tricky because taste in movies is so subjective. Sin City, Unbreakable, Life Aquatic, U-Turn, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Italian Job, Heat, The South Park Movie, J&SBSB, The Score.

I enjoyed all of these to varying degrees.

Irregardlessly.
