Ok I'll start: I heart Huckabees The Royal Tenenbaums Citizen Kane The first stinks, the last is hugely over-rated (far inferior to The Third Man) but I loved The Royal Tenenbaums!  Okay, I'll have a think but for me the first of many would be 'Withnail And I'!! Shit!  |

I agree Withnail and I is a right load of pants as is Swingers. Tried to watch it 3 times now and it still irritates the shit out of me with the 'You so money baby' |

What about?.... Don't Look Now - A little girl drowning and a dwarf with a meat cleaver bookend a dull and interminally ponderous trip to Venice, which makes the whole place look like a shithole! |

Never seen that. Was it originally a play? |

Cheap shots I know, but 'The Full Monty' and 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' are terrible!

I think any film that spawns the line "I feel like a pig shat in my head" and sets it free for use by hungover people the world over, can't possibly be entirely crap!  |

Was it originally a play? It was based on a short story apparently, pity the film wasn't! It's about 35 years old and contained an infamous 'did they actually do it' sex scene between Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie....even that was dull!! ;D |

Oh how about 'Dead Poets Society'? The final scene in the classroom and all the "O Captain, My Captain!" stuff....I just wanted to ram a text book down Robin Williams' throat! |

If you've seen Family Guy though where Brian the dog teaches English to the dreg of the school. "Yeah why not, go be the best damn hooker you can be" "Oh Captain, My Captain" "In your case I'd get the money upfront" ;D |

I maintain that that one line at least is gold! Hmmm... I see where you're going with that one, but it's not a baaaad movie?! |

'The Chorus' is far better film along similar lines, it's like a halfway house between 'Dead Poets' and 'Scum', and the final scene is far more emotive. |

Okay, moving swiftly on. ;D I like Hitchcock but I've never liked 'Vertigo'. Oh and to kick up a stink, 'The Great Escape' bores me! |
