Other than technically looking very nice, the LOTR movies left me rather cold. I've seen each one once, I really don't know if I'll ever invest the time to do so again.
Legend was a better fantasy film, IMHO.

Oh if you don't like subs you're missing out on some great films!!!! Give 'em a chance!!!
However I didn't get on with that film Y Tu Mama Tambien just kinda rubbed me up the wrong way.

There's only two good musicals in the world. "Singing in the Rain" and "The Blues Brothers"

Hey I guess we've all got our ways, but for me personally I can't take films that seriously. I understand what your saying about a moral stand point, but then unless you maybe engage with some of these personalities, they will always remain closed off and stunted. Perhaps gettiing through to some people and letting them see the light, or 'your' light in this case, could maybe be beneficial. I dunno I'm only thinking out loud.
I don't like that film either - but I think if I were to take a pollitical stand point on a number of films, I probably couldn't justify watching and/or enjoying them either... Which may ultimately lead to some great friendships collapsing under the strain.....

It would drive me mad however if my partner wouldn’t see Serenity
Well thing is I'm kinda confident I'll get her around to it. She'll cave and when she does it'll be a wonderful day. Because yeah she'll see how great Serenity, Firefly, Angel and Buffy are, and when those days come we'll get to enjoy them together. Hence the benefits on persisting with people who perhaps don't initially see your point of view, and vice versa... Sometimes you can get more satisfaction out of a person if it's taken a little effort... Sometimes.

that's very upbeat, S, let us know what she thinks when she's finally brow-beaten into watching them ...

Now Titan AE and Lilo and Stitch I got no issues with.

WHat about the Animaniacs?? - thee's singing in that and yet it's a work of genius ...
I mean, such lyrics:
Pinky: Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Brain: Same thing we do every night Pinky, TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius, the other's insane
They're laboratory mice, their genes have been spliced
They're dinky, they're Pinky and The Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain
Before each night is done, their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun they'll take over the world
They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes Pinky and The Brain
The Twilight Campaign is easy to explain
They'll prove they're mousy worth, and overthrow the earth
They're dinky, they're Pinky and The Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Narf!

1. U-Turn with Sean Penn.
2.The Longest Yard* remake
3. Little Nikki*
4. Joe Dirt
5. Unfaithful with Richard Gere
6. The Hours with Nicole Kidman. This is the one where she puts on a fake nose and tries to be Virgina Woolf. Had I directed this, it would have been called "The Minutes" because I would have killed her myself in the first 2 minutes of the movie.
7. Johnson Family Vacation
8. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. SO SO Bad!!! (But it did make for a great Mystery Science Theater episode)
9. Cabin Fever
10. Anaconda (I was rooting for the snake)
While 2 Adam Sandler movies did make my list of all time worst, Happy Gilmore is one of my fav's.

Wow...you folks have some crappy taste in movies. WORST movies is very subjective, so I can understand the differences in "opinion", but thankfully most of you aren't movie critics.
Here are the top 10 movies that disappointed me the most:
1. Scary Movie: At first it's somewhat funny, but then it's just SO over-the-top that it ceases to be funny. In other words, too much shock value = not shocking.
2. Cats and Dogs: Without a doubt the WORST computer animation on a big screen film ever. Jeff Goldblum's worst film and that is saying something!
3. The Minion: This Dolph Lundgren film is even bad for a B-movie. The only movie I have EVER turned off half way through! SUCK SUCK SUCK.
4. Lost Highway: I was so psyched to see this film. Had wanted to see it for years actually. And all I get is David Lynch psucho-babble with NO ENDING. Someone forgot to teach David about conclusions in his English classes.
5. Star Wars Episode I: II and III were tolerable (III was almost on the level with the original trilogy), but I still can't somach episode I...and I've tried. The kid that plays Annakin was just awful. Jar Jar was...well no comment needed. And DARTH MAUL! WHY TAKE ONE OF THE COOLEST VILLAINS EVER AND GIVE HIM NO F'ING SCREEN TIME. Nice one Lucas!!!
6. Blind Fury. I remember really liking this movie when I was twelve. Put it in for my wife and made her watch it...she immediately lost all faith in my film-taste. Total horrible crap-plot B-movie. But an awesome concept.
7. Flash Gordon. I know I may hurt some folks with this one, but I remember it being so cool as a kid! Watching it as an adult was a big let-down. I hate movies with sport-stars where they incorporate their sport into the movie. This includes professional wrestling.
8. Wing Commander: Went to see this for the Episode I preview...see above and wished I had left after word. Power Ranger bad-guys...crappy acting...and nowhere NEAR a military environment.
9. Nightmare on Elmstreet: Another movie that USED to be good. Now, the special effects are so bad it's actually funny to watch.
10. Daredevil: Kevin Smith's run on the new series was awesome! So why not have him direct? Though we still would have ended up with Affleck (btw Changing Lanes his a good Affleck movie). The gasoline DD in the subway was what KILLED it for me. Crap compared to some of the comic storylines.
There you have it...
Adam
