Subject: [MV] Worst Movie
I think PayBack is the worst movie that I have seen in a long time. I am a long time fan of Mel Gibson, but this movie had too much violence. I thought it was slow paced and the coloring and lighting of the movie was dark, dingy, and depressing!!!!!! This was by far one of Mel Gibson's worst movies!

Worst movies? in no particular order. here are 3 recent and strong
candidates:
1. Armageddon - made me almost like Deep Impact .
2. Speed 2 - I guess Speed was so good that a very bad sequel was needed to
balance it.
3. The Avengers - I love the program! How could they add Sean Connery,
another favorite, and make such a poor movie? I kept watching it, trying to
like it, and was still unable to watch it complete.
I will not watch Wild, Wild West so will not rank it!

I couldn't disagree more. I loved that it was dark and broody. I
loved that it was violent (because the violence had a point for a
change). And I loved Mel being a nastay boy. My only problem with
Payback came with the second half of the movie that Mel wrestled off
the director and reshot to make himself all likeable and hammy and
chummy. Bah to that Lethal Weapon routine. Gimme down and dirty "Mad
Max" type Mel or give me someone else.
If you want worst movie, try Meet The Deedles. What the crap was
Dennis Hopper thinking getting involved in that pile of cack? Worse
than Chairman Of The Board, worse than Batman And Robin, worse than
Godzilla, Wild Wild West and speed 2 combined. Worse even than Good
I have to agree that The Avengers was awful even though I like Connery a
lot.He was great in one of my
favorites, The Untouchables where most people saw Kevin Costner for the
first
time.---Dave

The worst for me would be Sphere, and The Avengers. The Avengers for me was
so bad that it even made Sean Connery look like a bad actor.

Never watched Desperate Measures. This is one of those "locally filmed"
movies that you are SUPPOSED to watch and pretend is not at all bad (like
Striking Distance and Sudden Death), but have thankfully been able to avoid
it so far.
By far, the absolute worst movie I have ever seen (and I have seen more
than my share of bad ones) is Speed 2. It was like a bad accident. I
enjoyed the "eye candy" that was Speed, and thought that the sequel could
NOT be THIS bad and HAD to get better. It was this bad. It did not get
better. Those are two hours of my life that I will NEVER get back.
Coming in second is Cops and Robbersons. The only time I even considered
walking out of a movie theatre. That is $15 that I will never get back
(why didn't anyone tell me that you could request a refund back then??:-)
There are other movies that are so bad, they are fun to watch. Death Race
2000 and DefCon 5 (two cult classics) qualify here.

Subject: [MV] Favorite Film
My favorite movie of all time has to be the German film "Das Boot". The detail in the movie is amazing. Every sound has a purpose, no matter how small. The same goes for facial reactions to certain things i.e. slight grimacing.
The other thing that is great about this film is how powerful of an anti-warfilm it is without excess gore and violence, like "Saving Private Ryan". That movie gave an excellent depiction of the horrors of war but it seemed like it relied more heavily on that than character development. It didn't really show the intellectual side as much.
Because "Das Boot" was just as effective as "Ryan", while being more intellectual, I have great respect for it.

Mine was The Blues Brothers. Saw it over 50 times. (Free, I was a cop back
then)
It took me two years to find it in video after that.

My favorite movie of all time would have to be The Godfather, Part II.
Everything worked for me in that movie: the acting, the direction,
the writing, and the cinematography. Very rarely does a sequel
surpass the original. A very close second would be The Matrix.
