Films which have a great reputation, but actually suck...

[Blueboy]

Apocalypse Now. Pish.

Apocalypse Now. Pish.

Whilst I would agree that the story of the making of the film is far more interesting than the film itself, it's still ok.

Bears slightly more relation to the book than 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou?', but not much more.

Most underrated - (and set in Glasgow), That Sinking Feeling!!

Id love to get hold of a copy of that.

What do you call it son......SINK

And this was on not so long ago at the GFT. I loved the film the first time I saw it, but this time was slightly distracted by the scenery : Glasgow in all its seventies post-industrial but pre-demolition finery. Almost a social document. Apart from the 'Partick Thistle in the Premier League!' bit, obviously.

Agreed, that anything with Tom Cruise is utter pish.

Also Apocalypse Now is also well overrated.

Another one for my "that was pish" list, Memento.

[nuttytigger]

i dont really have a best and worst but i hate films that try too hard to be funny and i like obscure films

[lynnski]

Another overlooked classic is this 'un.

I was unaware Bob Geldof had begun a movie career. Well, I suppose he must have a hidden talent somewhere.

So ya never seen Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' then...............?

Big Lebowski IS good! It's not meant to be taken too seriously!! Pi is also good, and the soundtrack is amazing! Finally saw the Deer Hunter for 1st time last year, and enjoyed it, tho I'm in no hurry to watch it again.

A great film is 'Amores Perres' by the guy that did 'Babel'. It's better, I thought. Agree with 'Glengarry Glenross' too, brilliant film! Also good is 'Copland' whith Sly Stallone actually acting, and doing it well!!

[Field Marshall Shug]

The Star Wars trilogy.

Office Space.

[glasgowken]

It's a Star Wars sextuplet now

[My Kitten]

Red Road. Slow, boring, and potential for something good but just didnt happen

[Westwood One]

All those Merchant/Ivory type films about the upper classes, pure mince.

[DickyHart]

withnail and I...total pish, didnt get it.

Anyone know why it's this expensive? I'd have thought 'bargain bucket' material!
