Since this was brought up on todays ACS, thought I'd post a topic for favorite and least favorite movie. I'm 99% sure that this has been brought up more than once on the forum, but I like seeing my name on the topics page.

Now these aren't what I consider the best and worst movies of all time, these are ones I enjoyed, or didn't. I realize Citizen Kane is a great movie, but I just can't sit through it without Roger Eberts commentary. All of the Godzilla movies are awful, but they don't make me the dive the remote like my least favorite movies would.

Favorite movies:

Nixon
Duck Soup
Goodfellas
Annie Hall
Shaun Of The Dead

Least Favorite Movies:

Weekend At Bernies II
Super Mario Bros.
Batman And Robin
Superman IV
Robocop III

Underrated Movies:

Summer Of Sam
Frailty
Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight
Clue
Casino

Overrated Movies:

LOTR Trilogy
Saw
A Beautiful Mind
The Life Aquatic
Swingers

How say you?

American Psycho would be in my top 10.

And I'd put Donnie Darko in as Overrated. Underrated? Are you kidding me? Every goddamn teenager on the internet seems to love that movie. It's #96 on the IMDB top 250.

I disagree, Halle Berry gave an incredible performance in Monsters Ball, only for about 2 minutes, though.

Yeah, Baise Moi was lame, I only saw it because it was banned in Australia. The same with Ken Park. The latest of this type of movie I've seen was Salo (, or The 120 Days of Sodom). If you want a freaky experience, get drunk/high and watch this movie.

Four fascist libertines round up 9 teenages boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental and sexual torture.

Why am I not watching this movie right now?

That means you've practically had sex with Jake Gyllenhall.

I can't believe I forgot Moulin Rouge on my worst list. It's the only movie I've ever walked out of.... during the movie.

And chix0r, you've actually seen the prequel Star Wars movies first? Huh. I guess George Lucas wasn't completely off. Except on Jar-Jar. Fuck Jar-Jar.
