[Salty80]

I say avatar it’s to over

[Bazile]

Any musical

[ichkeria]

The Casablanca backlash will be next :-)

[Peter Pedant]

Yeah Titanic is a load of tits
the French and Saunders parody is good tho'

I think NJ must be Fanny Burney ( Jane Austen - but nothing ever happens.) - but as NJ might say judiciously, it is all a load of Fanny

[mallyh]

Lost in translation
Mulholland drive

[Patsy33]

[Peter Pedant]

I tend to agree about Musicals Bazile with the exception of West Side Story and and The King and I.

omg - most overrated - is Titanic with that oul wrinkled face. looked at her face at once - then I switched it off

Unforgiven. Now I am a huge fan of Clint Eastwood normally but I just can't fathom why this film is considered a good film. Essentially the entire plot is based on a prostitute laughs at the dimensions of one of her punters equipment and the punters subsequent reaction, that's it.

Shrek

//Titanic ,,
I mean the bloody boat sinks !!!//

You might have broken that to me a bit more gently or put a "spoiler alert"! I won't bother to watch it now. :-)

[Peter Pedant]

king and I on this afternoon
anti the Eastern empires and yet imperialist itself - surprisingly so....

is Titanic with that ould wrinkled face. looked at her face at once

that may have been the spoof where she DID have a mask to frighten the horses

Could never understand all the hype about Brief Encounter. Having said that, it was made in 1945 when the world was very different.

TTT - // Unforgiven. Now I am a huge fan of Clint Eastwood normally but I just can't fathom why this film is considered a good film. Essentially the entire plot is based on a prostitute laughs at the dimensions of one of her punters equipment and the punters subsequent reaction, that's it. //

Can't agree with you there.

That's the set-up, but the bigger picture (literally) is about redemption and justice in a hard and cruel world.

I loved it.

maggie - // Could never understand all the hype about Brief Encounter. Having said that, it was made in 1945 when the world was very different. //

Exactly - it's because it was so 'out there' for the time in which it was made, that makes is to mesmerizing.

The notion of a woman on the verge of infidelity in those days would have been seriously shocking.

It hasn't dated tirribly tirribly well, but I still love it.

I entirely agree, I have never seen the appeal of this film.

Even allowing for its age, when film techniques were a lot different - the plot is so wet and warm you could bath a baby in it, the editing is clunky, the script is dreadful, the dialogue is all shouted, and the over-acting is endemic throughout.

I have only seen it once, and that was once too often.

It's possibly only beaten in my most contemptible pieces of celluloid by South Pacific - a plotless homo-erotic load of pap with forgettable songs and no story.

[Arksided]

Dirty Dancing and that puke fest Pretty Woman

[Stargazer]

Passage to India was and is still an excellent fim. Titanic was something I felt I had to watch because of all the hype about it. Overrated in my opinion.

[tiggerblue10]

I tried watching Citizen Kane but couldn't make out what was going on.
