Gave it about 15 mins on Sky - utter dross.

Platoon I'd disagree with - great film. The last 45 mins is edge of the seat stuff. I remember emerging from the cinema in Leamington Spa and expecting an ambush at any moment.

Agreed. Platoon is a CLASSIC!

Being a student in Leamington Spa meant you were about to be ambushed anyway - so it was good practice really.

You love the bloody, still performances of Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger, do you?
At the time, when i was 11, i thought it was well cool, but it rings of same feeble cartoonish realism that Stone has 'produced' over and over again. Yes, we all remember the one-legged man hopping for mercy, but, jeezus h crimples, it was just two men wrestling throughout rather than a piece of substance and analysis as it hoped to sell itself as.

Sorry. Platoon makes me a bit angry now.
I prefered Berenger in Major League and Sheen in a possible coffin.

X-Men - I didn't understand it until I realised that I didn't want to understand it. And with such a good cast too.

Human Traffic and Dead Man Walking are the only films I've ever walked out of. One shit the other deathly boring.

Human Traffic is absolute shite, and the Guardian named it 'The last great film of the 90s' at the time.

The Star Wars one with Jar Jar Binks is the only time I've ever walked out of a cinema.

Honourable mention to Citizen Kane :yawn:

Be fair. He was good in Hot Shots.


Um. No. He was supposed to be hilariously playing his own father. The film was reasonably funny, but partially because he is a laughable, inedible ham.
Two and a Half Men is not funny and it has him saying things. A 21st century My Two Dads.

The Animal was a truly shocking shocking film. I have hated others but this film was literally the biggest piece of shit ever put to film.

It's a comicbook representation of American racial struggle. Professor X was Martin Luther King, whitened, see-through and telepathic. His partner/enemy Magneto is Malcolm X, tippexed and the master of all metals. Neither get shot, but they have magic tied in their conflict.
In the film, it's about homophobia, to some minor extent, and the popular lonliness of Wolverine, who shows the violence feeling of cursed holy talent.
