The English Patient excrable??! You're being waaay too kind. That movie was so bad, one has to invent words to truly encompass its broad range of pure putrescence. I'll give it some thought. Minghella is a hit-or-miss director. When he's on, he's great. When he's bad, it is as if he is seeking new depths to how horrible a film can be.

Well, I was trying to be polite. *grin*

To be completely truthful, I found TEP to be one of worst pieces of pretentious filmmaking I have ever seen. I spent months afterwards being referred to as "Elaine," after the Seinfeld character who has enough guts to tell the world how much she hated this film.

The only thing that comes close in "badness" is Titanic.

Bleagh.

Anther movie to avoid!

I am so glad to hear that other people thought The English Patient and Titanic were awful, too! I like movies that don't take themselves that seriously, and have a hint of mischief in them.
