The B-52's - Downtown

I agree in part to this - the Sandra Bullock/Brendan Fraser was pretty bloody average. A lot of it was incredibly cliche and trite. Overall, I was not too bothered by this and could enjoy the film despite these shortcomings (wherein Paul Haggis was channeling his Walker: Texas Ranger days rather...

Top ten of the 1970s: 10. Halloween 9. Patton 8. Little Big Man 7. The Godfather: Part II 6. Manhattan 5. Dersu Uzala 4. Cries and Whispers 3. Amarcord 2. Barry Lyndon 1. Days of Heaven

Perhaps you should actually hear the original, by John Lennon, then.

My Humps is rad. Deal with it.

I bought The Deer Hunter today. It's three hours, not 2.5 You're insane if you consider this the shittest movie you've ever seen. Unles you've only seen The Godfather, Casablanca and Citizen Kane in your life.

Given Hendrix, especially, and many of the others you've mentioned are not particularly good singers, I think you need to rethink your list. Really, the most talented with both at the same time is Prince. The man is a god.

Though you could hardly claim Million Dollar Baby and Unforgiven right-wing? Even Mystic River's supposed meaning was about the cycle of violence and violence begetting violence and whatnot (so I've heard - it failed to demonstrate that on the film though). I realise Eastwood was once a...

The Lord of the Rings films are a completely different beast to the novel. They took aspects from the novel and did a complete re-imagining of it. They're excellent films, and I think a completely original way in translating a fantasy novel into a film (sadly the fact that everything from Narnia...

I love all the American Recordings (well, three of them), but I don't think IV was the greatest. My ranking would be I, II, IV then III. It's still great, with Hurt, In My Life and We'll Meet Again especially standing out, but I don't think the album would be touching American Recordings as...

You know there was also a novel? And a script? But you blame Eastwood instead? I agree, though, it was a really good movie until the ridiculous ending (not at all helped by Penn's acting - if this thread was Most Overrated Actor he'd be my pick, followed by Denzel). Still, if you want to...

*Some*....

You keep misspelling "genius". It keeps irritating me.

My Humps .

On a more positive note, what do you guys think are the most under rated movies ever? I don't think Little Big Man gets the love it deserves.

Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, E.T., Schindler's List (though I saw some debate there). On a related note, though: Saving Private Ryan was terrible, and my pick for most overrated movie ever. Or at least the past ten years.

Johnny Cash made Nine Inch Nails look like dweebs with Hurt. Patti Smith's Gloria is pretty bloody awesome.

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill?

Also, if ever a film version was better than the novel it's Barry Lyndon. The Thackery novel was fairly average, whereas the film is an absolute masterpiece.
