[Uncle Spielberg]

26 for me.

 

[Beach Hut]

28 for me

 

[The Large One]

What a stunning lack of quality in that list.

Over $29bn wasted on watching that lot.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Are you ever happy TLO

 

[Trufflehound]

What a stunning lack of quality in that list.

Just what I was thinking...

 

[tinx]

Only three I haven't seen.

Best of them are probably the lord of the rings movies.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

ET
Chroncles of Narnia
Jurassic Park
King Kong
Forrest Gump
Terminator 2

Are the best 6 imho

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The new Star Wars films were tripe.

Monsters Inc. Great film.

 

[Josky]

38 for me!

But there is some right gash in there.. Day After Tomorrow, War Of The Worlds...

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

War of the Worlds

Don't start me off I may have a hissy fit

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Seen all but Passion of the Christ. Rather disturbing that Day After Tomorrow made so much; utter gash.

 

[The Large One]

Are you ever happy TLO

Not with your choice of films, Gareth, no.

And you can talk with your terminal relegation miseries. If I may fudge my metaphors here, you are the football equivalent of a Cold War 1950s Hungarian Harold Pinter-esque film about the inner turmoil within the soul in a tractor factory run by allegorical termites. In slow motion.

No wonder you seek solace in Hollywood dross and tipping three-legged rockinghorses at Uttoxeter.

 

[Trufflehound]

Only T2, MiB, PotC, Sixth Sense and (at a pinch) Shrek 2 and Spider Man 1 have any real redeeming features.

 

[captainmorganrum]

26 for me

 

[Albion Dan]

These arent the most succesfull at all though are they as they dont take into account inflation? It should eb measured by the number of people that actually went to see the film not how much they paid.

 

[m20gull]

8 - on a recount; sadly, despite being middle aged with no kids, Monsters Inc and Lion King are included!

Chill out you old git.
