  • Technorati
  • Fight Club (I did not like this; seemed gratuitously violent; not fond of Brad Pitt anyway)
  • Imitation of Life (If I see this on one more person's list of faves, I will SCREAM. I've only seen the earliest version, not the 1950s remake. Hopefully the remake wasn't as blatantly offensive. I doubt it though.)
  • Pulp Fiction
  • Amelie
  • Apocalypse Now (Hated movie and the book from which it was based, "Heart of Darkness".)
  • Gone With the Wind (Some of these old movies just need to die painful deaths.)
  • Birth of a Nation (...painful, painful deaths...)
  • Gladiator
  • Waiting to Exhale (One of the first movies I actually fell asleep on. Even Angela Bassett couldn't save this film for me.)
  • Prozac Nation (I was sitting there watching this, and I thought the movie had been going on for well over 2 hours. To my surprise, only 50 minutes had actually passed... the first 3 hours of Titanic went by quicker. And the title of the movie is deceiving! I thought there'd at least be a little snide commentary on pill-culture. :-\ And the ending came out of nowhere, suddenly. I didn't believe she was getting better at all. But she declared it, so I guess it was so... ho-hum. And WHAT purpose did the naked boobs at the beginning serve? If there's going to be prolonged nudity, it should have a purpose or artistic flair, at least. Who really sits around buck-naked while their mom is there talking to them?)

Finally, another person who did'nt like Pulp fiction. That movie recieves to much credit because you swear and have a gimp does'nt mean you made a ground breaking film.

I saw one scene from Gone With the Wind on a small TV and was bored, then saw the whole thing in a theater and was completely absorbed. Maybe grand, technicolor drama is best appreciated on a big screen, or maybe I was just in a better mood that day.

Many ppl. here hated Gladiator .... I can't seem to figure why....

It wasn't a totally horrible movie, I just did not get the huge fuss over it. It was so-so, IMO. And I can't stand Russell Crowe either.
