I know we,ve been here before US and it is only about opinions but I find Darabont has taken all the smaltz from his influence by Speilberg but very little else.

f*** knows what a Stormtrooper is then. And Chewbacca. Hands Solo? Sounds like my love life. And that fat thing that looks like John Prescott (I know he posts on here, sorry John). And the Henrik Larsson thing. And those giant walker things. As for Darth Vader, gimme a luminous condom and a dark room, I'll show you a light saber sonny jim. Don't even get me started on the fella who was knocking orf his own sister. Bleh.

I really like it, Tom Wilkinson is fantastic
Rocknrolla - The best use of wanker ever
Lord of the Rings, trilogy, any of them.
A storm trooper is a clone in uniform. A clone of the (humanoid) Jango Fett.

I'm with you. Listening to Mark Kermode, you'd think Nolan is the new Orson Welles but I just don't see the fuss over any of his films. Any.
Inception is a case of the Emperor's New Clothes.

I would add The Hobbit and that's just based on the trailer

I wanted to like it but struggled
Not a girl. I understood them, but did not care for them.

Lots of people rave about this film, I thought it was ordinary at best.

Bloody hell, really? Is it a case of you rating them lower than the masses, or you simply don't like them at all?

'Being John Malkovich' is no way near as clever as it thinks it is and anyone who does think it's clever is a smug hipster dick.
q.v. "Eternal Sunshine ......"
bollocks
an if you take 'well regarded' Box office the out of IMDB's top 50 grossing films of all time the only one I've seen and would like to see again is E.T.*
*I haven't seen most of the animated films or any of the Harry Potter films so can't pass judgement (but I bet I wouldn't like them)

I like the concept of eternal sunshine and watched it whilst struggling over a break up but it did not deliver really. Great idea, poorly executed.

I LOVE this film. Almost pissed myself during about 12 different scenes.

Like the Beatles music, everyone likes it as they have been brought up to think that way

Nightmare Before Christmas - truly the worst film I have ever seen and may ever see.
I'm slightly amazed that my 3 favourite films have all been mentioned on this thread: Inception, Shawshank Redemption and Saving Private Ryan!
Each to their own.
