BLADE RUNNER was ahead of its time. The director’s cut is much better. Studio made them add a voice over and happy ending. Well... I guess it was happy until the batteries ran out.
JUNO. Teen girl decides not to have an abortion after realizing her unborn child has fingers and toes. And liberals love it. Go figure...
SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. I thought this was entertaining. Don’t get the recent bashing of it.
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. Quirky people go for a road trip and learn things along the way. This is one of those ‘aren’t those people who don’t live in Los Angeles or New York weird hicks?’ movies.
ENGLISH PATIENT. Yawn. Does anyone like this movie?
GIANT. Agree. Dean is great and rest is boring.
AMERICAN GRAFFITI. Great soundtrack. Coming of age. Thought it captured the time.
THE MATRIX. He doesn’t understand the movie? Okay, go watch it again.
ANNIE HALL. Some people hate Woody Allen though his offscreen child raping may have more to do with this than his movies.
LOST IN TRANSLATION. Hot actress in dull movie. You can tell a woman wrote it because a guy would have had Bill Murray sleep with her, his wife shows up, something anything. Instead, nothing happens. Yawner.
UGH!
Then like a fool someone talks me into seeing Atonement, which turned out to be the same kind of crap.
I also hated Bridges of Madison County. I think only a sick mind would like that movie. And while I'm at it, I can't stand anything with Meryl Streep.
Balde Runner was OK.
Speaking of James Dean, I have never been able to get through the move Rebel Without a Cause without falling asleep. I have tried several times!
every single oscar winner for the last 20 or so years.

The only good thing about Annie Hall was Christopher Walken as Daryl Hall. The only decent Allen film was Broadway Danny Rose.
Little Miss Sunshine was a typical left wing template. Quirky family, dysfunctional, old guy, gay guy, etc.
Yawn
