    I kind of liked Master and Commander Have thought about renting Babel like 43 times but never care enough to do so.

    Technically I meant "great" in the sense of critics slobbering over it, Oscar nominations, kind of like Love Guru, but it doesn't matter I guess.

    Crouching tiger hidden dragon is the worst movie I have ever seen, how many awards did that win?

    LOL I'm with you bud. Yes it was a neat concept, but you need a little more than a good idea to keep things going.

    I never even saw the second or third Matrix movies, its not like I hated the first, just didn't have any interest in seeing them for some reason.

    Um the Bourne movies the camera shook soooo much it is impossible to watch, I don't get how any human on this planet can deal with that shakeycam.

    Babel has been mentioned and is spot on.

    Most pure action movies, really they all bore me. Die Hard included.

    Really?

    Sure you're not confused? With Bruce Willis, terrorists taking over the Nakatomi plaza?

    I'm not even angry, just sad.

    OumaFan you remind me of my brother. He shared very similar sentiments. Maybe if I was of the Die Hard era? I don't know.


    Never seen it but I'm not sure the Love Guru counts.

    Erkel's dad? Wasn't it Laura's dad?

    and I'm glad you decided I must watch it again, maybe if I need to sleep one of these nights.

    Die Hard 1, is quite possibly in top 5 greatest action movies ever.

    The Bourne movies are up there with my favorite trilogies of all time.... I may give Cold Mountain a try another time.. Wasn't in the mood for it... My girlfriend has read a book every week for the 4 years i've known her, and Cold Mountain was the first book that she didn't want to finish..


    Shows that we all have different tastes..

    I'm a real fan of cheap thrills though... I do like deeper stuff of course, but rarely is a big blockbuster with even a half decent story line wasted on me..

    I didn't like Crash either.. Didn't like Monsters Ball or whatever with Halle Berry.. Plus this one will probably get me crucified by a few people, but I wouldn't put Halle Berry in my top 200,000 most attractive women on earth.. Neither with Angelina Jolie.. Both are as overrated to me as just about anything can be overrated....

    Darn, every time I try to think of some of the movies I didn't like, I end up just thinking of actors I don't like..


    I'll have to dig up one of our "recommend me a movie" threads.. I remember most of the movies recommended were brilliant, but there were a few that I thought were horrible...

    I watched Seven Pounds yesterday, I thought that was a great film, actually got a bit weepy at the end, it was a sad film but uplifting at the same time and Will did a great job in it I thought.

    They just started advertising that over here and comes out 7th of January I think.. or something like that... Just from the ad's i've seen on television, I can't work out what it's even about? I'll probably pass on the spoiler.. The Mrs is probably going to drag me to see it sometime..



    Another one that looks interesting is Curious Case of Benjamin Button.... The one where the guy is born old and gets younger through his life... Looks incredibly strange and possibly a bit of a ladies movie...
    Has anyone seen this?? Another one i'll be dragged to in the next few weeks, so a heads up if I should bring my PSP kidding...



    I've only got a DS...
