Again, I was bored to tears, but people still told me it was the greatest film ever made, so I put my reaction down to "not being in the proper mood"

When the DVD box set was released, I got a copy of it, and watched all five versions of the film, but nothing happened to change my opinion of the movie

Visually, it is incredibly impressive, but the story and execution leave me cold

Oh - I know that I am alone in my thoughts about this film, because enough people have said it is a masterpiece, and the greatest movie ever made!
Im slightly with you on this i tried 2 3 times to watch this and could not anyway shape form get into it but saying that .that was years ago i suppose i could try again ..

I've seen over 50 movies so far in 2012 and I've just seen the best - Fish Story. Words fail me, but if you take my advice on one thing, make it this - see Fish Story, as original and intricate a story as you'll ever see with added comedy, horror pastiche, kung fu, killer music, pathos, satire and end of the world tension. Genius plain and simple, thank God for Third Window Films.

"Romance and Cigarettes" a musical comedy about infidelity and lung cancer! Fantastic cast: James Gandfolfini, Christopher Walken, Susan Saradon and Kate Winslet all acting and singing their socks off. Perhaps too quirky for it's own good at times and fairly disjointed at others, but over all worth a look if you see it dirt cheap or on the telly.

Finally got around to watching the Shameless disc of HOTEOTP last night, I must say they've done a fine job, the cuts are hardly noticeable.
Seeing as my gig tonight got cancelled I decided to give my Day of the dead BD a spin, I don't think the film could look any better, especially the gore scenes and Bub's make up

Watched 2entertain's Horror Express....lawdy this Severin one cant hurry up enough, still a great wee chiller though.

Mega Monster Ultra Battle Galaxy (?) excuse if title slightly wrong, as im in a bit of a hurry today, if you like blokes in rubber suits kicking the crap outa each other, this is recommended.
if on the other hand you prefer measured plot, symbolistic dialogue, unusual camera angles etc....what are you doing on this site?? seriously though, a HOOT, even if younger mate seemed "bored"...but then Drive "bored" him, you cant help some people it seems.....

I picked up an original one sheet for this when it was first released, then saw the film on dvd and loved it.

The Final cut Stephen. I really liked it, although if there is a better version to watch I'm all ears

Watched Mr Majestyk.... I am usually a fan of most things Bronson; but I found this a tad boring
