2001: A Space Oddessy

What a load of crap! That is my no. 1 least favourite film of all time. All of that artsy fartsy crap makes me sick to my arse!

And this one's for you MD


TITANIC


I think Alien3 is underrated. I found it enjoyable, it kept the claustraphobic theme of the original and though the effects were lacking, I thought the way it took it in a new direction and had such an anticlimax made it something new and exciting as well as reminding us of the original.

try walking a round at night to his soundtracks on headphones....

The soundtracks are great- many of them better than the movies.

Arrrgghhhhhhh!

I'm gonna get it for this one, but I thought The Abyss was dreadful. I'm willing to sit through a long movie any day of the week, but when the payoff is as cheezy and superficial as this one, I get angry. It just seems like an hour could have been cut off of it and the movie would seem a lot less pretentious.

Hopkins underrated? By whom? He's generally considered one of the greatest living actors.

Yet, he never gets mentioned.

Just look at all our "Best actors" threads.


Was he even in the "Actors tournament"? I don't think so.

But he has been knighted and has won an Academy Award...for Silence of the Lambs.

Your underrated/overrated list contradicts itself!
