Please, somebody, anybody...have you seen The Marine? Back me up here. I'm serious that the last 90% of the movie I watched only to compare to other horrendous flicks I've seen and it won.

Wow, I must've removed this painful experience from my memory. I unfortunately did see this, and it was so terrible this is the 1st time my brain triggered this painful experience. Honorable mentions, sweet november, 8 heads in a duffel bag, and sweeney todd. One of the very few movies I turned off before even halfway over.

Alright bookieassassin... your point is well taken and honestly argued...
we'll have to agree to disagree about the film and you are right... I can tend to get on my high horse and rant... no hard feelings...
I would be interested to know if there is a certain country of orgin you are interested in filmwise as I like foreign film myself...
French films can be pretty interesting and there has been some crazy stuff coming out of Japan

Yes... Kurosawa and Almodovar are both fantastic... "Seven Samurai" is simply masterful... good call...
Also a big Kubrick fan (like the new avatar by the way)... (have you ever seen "Call me Kubrick"? Not great by any means, but thought it was worth the watch... I found it curious
I will add the "Hanzo the Razor" trilogy to my Netflix list... thanks for heads up on that...
I don't think that I am as jaded as you with modern American film, but totally agree that the $ gets in the way of art... I did see "Idiocracy" and liked it quite a bit...
I would be curious to know your take on Charlie Kaufman... I really believe that he was struggling to find his vision and was finally successful with his latest, "Synecdoche, New York"...

would love to be much weirder than i really am.....VERY middle class / jock /product public school ed./raised in south ....kinda guy >sucker for sappy stuff ashamed to say .....Capra ....
should have said.....MASTERFUL cinema really......still put out GREAT stuff > just not often
guess strong case could be made for.... Apocalypse Now....One Flew....Godfather.....Schindlers....+ few more..
hype of "lost in translation".........(OK)......turned me off to anything american and edgey.for awhile........YOU HAVE SHAMED ME ...CK is awesome and have not seen Syn. NY.....Being JM....Confessions.... < Loved both.......since Coen bros not up to much > he's the man
(love their stuff).......Woody........clint eastwood < (sorry man..can't help it....LOVE the outlaw josey wales ......unforgiven)......> to Kill a Mockingbird my favorite movie....(small town southern stuff again > overwhelmed by this movie).....
* seriously.....Leconte perhaps BEST.... at character development (there ain't nuthin' goin on ).....Monsieur Hire....Girl on the Bridge....Ridicule...Hairdressers Husband +++
SWEET MOTHER of GOD......just noticed "The Ringer" has been on the tube.....truly deserves mention as one of worst ever
Great underrated movie ?..... "After Hours" ......just watched AGAIN...
* think CK has been screwed over by $ considerations....others.more influential ......seems like Clooney screwed up Confessions for him....he should be calling shots now so future works .......!!!!

"guess strong case could be made for.... Apocalypse Now....One Flew....Godfather.....Schindlers...."
Agree with all except Schindlers... (think Spielberg is THE most overrated directer of all time)... but, again, we disagree...
"sucker for sappy stuff ashamed to say"---> probably why
(although I LOVE Capra, so go figure...)
I love Woody Allen and Clint Eastwood... see my review of "The Outlaw" here... a near perfect film.
LOVE "After Hours"... again, you have GREAT taste ("Forrest Gump" not withstanding... J/K)
"To Kill a Mockinbird"----> GREAT! One of the few great books made into a GREAT film.... for a more modern example see one of my top five of all time: "Leaving Las Vegas"...

The 1st hour or so of The Outlaw Jesse James was decent. After that, I couldn't wait for it to get over. WAY too drawn out and boring.

Wide Sargasso Sea comes leaping to mind, though I suspect I've seen worse.
I've never been able to get far enough through an Adam Sandler movie to know if the remaining 90% sucked as much as the first 10%, but I've always assumed that to be the case.
After Hours has Bad Brains in it (playing Pay to juice, if memory serves), which is reason enough to love the film, though I will agree there are many.
Under-rated classic: McCabe and Mrs. Miller. I don't usually llike Altman (indeed, I just watched MASH again the other night and still think it sucks), but this one is a great, haunting masterpiece.
