Dammit, I like the LOTR movies......
IO think the Crow was worth all of the hype i heard about it before i saw it....
I always liked Virtuosity, but there was NO hype around it, and even sci-fi only shows it after 9 on saturdays.....

Audition, Frailty, Battle Royale, May, The Crimson Rivers, and The Experiment all lived up to their hype.

I liked Virtuosity too, but only because they show Russell Crowe's naked backside. :p ;) He's a member of my very own Butt Hall of Fame.

My sister likes it for the same reason. hehe
I always brag that i liked Russel Crowe before he was popular because of this movie. i am such a dork. The ideas in it were pretty inovative, it just lacked a decent story and direction. PLus, who can watch Kelly Lynch withou thinking of Roadhouse.
And that isnt good for anybody.

I really enjoyed Cabin Fever. I also like Alien and Aliens.
There was this little movie I just saw that was total garbage, but I loved it. It was called Detour. Anyone seen it? The friggin behind the scenes was awesome and so was the commenttary on DVD. Check it out.

I'm going to go with avenger and say Battle Royale too, with a list of some others, Irreversible, Punch drunk love, which deserved more hype, any of tarantinos movies, Mystic river, T3, Once upon a time in mexico, and Spun.
