Was the Last Decade of Movies THAT Bad?

Is this all a decade of movies is worth?

According to the American Film Institute's new list of the 100 greatest films, the last 10 years have produced only four great ones: "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (No. 50), "Saving Private Ryan" (No. 71), "Titanic" (No. 83) and "The Sixth Sense" (No. 89).

I get bloated just typing those titles. Granted, the last 10 years have been a historically weak period for films. They can't touch Hollywood's golden era of the '40s, or the heralded '70s, when maverick directors roamed the studios.

"....Jackson DID leave out what is IMHO the most important part of the story... The Scourging of the Shire...."

Fully agree. Was just thinking about that a few days ago. There were three or four scenes that could have been cut and replaced with that without losing anything of importance.

'I didn’t even get to your reply before I posted my response to the same post calling Patch Adams the worst movie ever made, see my prior post about “Dr T”'

Back in '77 I had a serious crush (well more like a HOWLING LUST) for Farrah Fawcett. When I saw she was in this move I had to see it. (She still looks good to me) Now to give you an idea how bad this movie is, it had Farrah in it Naked and not a little bit naked either!

Still can't bring myself to ever watch that movie again.

The gods are indeed cruel sometimes.

Well, I’ll probably add it on my “to see” list. I’m always on the lookout for a good movie.
