    Gets lots of great reviews on IMDB however you don't seem the pretentious type so I'll trust you on this one and skip it!

      Grease 2.

      But I like the matrix sequels ( you have to watch 2 and 3 consecutively ), and AI. AI is a deeply flawed film, but it's great science fiction. The original Solaris - Russian version - is far better than the Hollywood attempt.

      It's often the case that good science fiction doesn't make for a popular film. Probably because your average film buff is just too thick to understand it.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        1. Solaris
        2. Memento
        3. The big Lebowski
        Solaris - Amen to that brother
        Memento - I bought it last week on recommendation, yet to watch
        Lebowski - I loved it !!

          Grease 2? My step kids loved it!

            Throw in Enigma and Rob Roy into that category.

              To this day, its the only film I've walked out on
              I managed that with LOTR. I'm not sure what was more annoying, the movie or the cretins from Stoke who were in the cinema. I defy anyone to go to the Stoke odeon and not come out weeping - these morons think they are in their living room.

                I'd forgotten LOTR. That was boring as hell: don't know how I managed to sit through the whole 3 hours. Worst of all was hearing all the people talk about it as "the new Star Wars" etc.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  Much worse than I remember, but not anything like as bad as Space Mutiny!

                  What are your nominations for truly terrible films?
                  Highlander 2
                  Space Pirates
                  30 Days of Night (Like AvP could see nothing in it)
                  Alien V Predator Requim (did anyone see anything in that film - it was far too dark - me thinks they just lit it that way to avoid showing how truly terrible the alient and predator actually looked)

                  PS I actually enjoyed DIoE2150

                    They try to make films as dark as possible now to foil the pirates. Dark films make bad copy
                    Confusion is a natural state of being

                      DIOE2150 - was your dad in that one?

                      Terrible films from many years ago:

                      The Yellow Rolls-Royce
                      Any film by Andy Warhol
                      If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.
