me too, I love it but I don't know anyone who hates Fear 'n Loathing. Del Toro and Johnny Depp did an amazing job, Terry Gilliam (the director) too, of course.

Was disappointed by Avatar, but most people love it, I don't know why. Seen a similar movie called Battlefield Earth with John Travolta. Almost same story but not so ridiculous.

I'll do that - let's hope fourth time lucky

Apocalypse Now till i saw "Redux" and read the heart of darkness lol

Rain Man...

That movie just plain pisses me off and that so many people liked it and that it won awards when much better was out there at the time makes me even more angry. We stayed in the same suite at Caesar's that the movie used and guess what?

Every bit as cheesy and lame as the movie.

Twilight for sure

The Redux was the biggest pile of crap ever. I would like to get my hands on that book though,

Mullholland Drive for me. One of the strangest movies I've ever seen!

Me too! :thumbsup

I have no luck with all those magnum opus directors and their late works

Once they pass 70 it's all about fucking :)

Sidney Lumet is one exception - a director that never disappointed me

I'd even dare to put "Dog Day Afternoon" and "The Network" to my personal, well at least Top 10

"Dog Day Afternoon" just never fails to entertain me

"The Network" is a movie that totally blew my mind when I saw that last summer

particularly because I sat on a terrace with my laptop and a glass of wine last May and started to write a blueprint of a movie screenplay, just the initial idea -

What came to my mind was that someone, who's a popular TV persona stops being a TV persona and starts to speak his mind on air, yet the total contraversy and political uncorectness pushes the ratings much higher, so they are forced to keep him on air and continue

Then I spoke to a good friend of mine on the phone a couple days later, who told me that what I just described was filmed already

Lost in Translation was too slow for me. I couldn't watch it.

I'll second 2001 and fear and loathing.

I loved Lost In Translation but know so many people that hated it. It is just one of those films, I think.

star wars & star trek. the latter is far worse than the former. i don't understand why it's so huge.

Pretty much my list. I don't undertstand the hype for Hurt Locker.. just don't get it.

For anyone interested in Lynch

The best maybe to watch "Twin Peaks" series - if you don't like that you won't ever like anything else from Lynch, his sense of humor is totally twisted, as is his feeling of "reality", while he can always work with strong plot, build a momentum and engage superbly exciting characters.

You may also start with more "classical" type movies like "The Elephant Man" "The Alvin Straight Story"

Then you can go one weirdness level up and check "Blue Velvet" and "Reckless at heart"

Definitely skip "Eraserhead" since without the knowledge of the background of the movie or being stoned you're going to end up with severe mental damage.

I also don't recommend "Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me" since even me as a die hard Lynch fan never had guts to watch it yet (I only listen to the soundtrack).

I love both - "Lost Highway" and "Mullholland Drive" although I honestly admit I wouldn't be able to tell you "what they are about" as I don't have a clue, it's just extremely exciting imaginery and I sure enjoy to get lost in the realms of Lynch's world time from time.

Lynch as a painter, is a master in working with different exteriors, interiors, colors, master in working with Music, to bring the right mood and emotional feedback.

I was in my 30s when I saw Princess Bride. Maybe that's part of it.

The Twin Peaks movie is awesome. What he does with sound in that film is amazing along side his typically brilliant visuals. There are some intense scenes to this day I recall vividly even thought its been a long while since i last watched that film.

Btw don't know if you saw Inland Empire, but its the only Lynch film I was disappointed in.
For some reason he felt compelled to do further meditations on Mullholand Drive theme but it just didn't do it for me.

Well you've sure just encouraged me to check those out, haven't seen neither of them.
