I thought maybe the Donald Duck theme was just a cheeky nod back to Don't Torture a Duckling, the same way The Beyond's opening recreates the chain whipping from Duckling's Cemetery scene. - Or maybe Lucio was just a big Disney Fan.

I can't stand and have never understood people's love for Kubrick's The Shining (MUCH preferred the Mick Garris TV version-an actual adaptation of the book). As well as 2001 A Space Odyssey.....good GOD what a boring, laborious film! Yep, Private Ryan and Forrest Gump are both terrible overlong sentimental garbage designed to make the masses emote. I even tried Band of Brothers because folk were harping on about it. Boring, soft stuff. Have never made it through The Godfather due to sheer boredom, and I think The Deer Hunter (same reason). Most of the big Brit Hits that come out are terrible, Trainspotting, four Weddings, Slumdog Millionaire and King's Speech all incredibly over-rated and only mildly more entertaining and well-acted than an ep of Eastenders. Don't really like any James Bond films, and have to agree with a previous poster in completely missing what the hell was so good about The Dark Knight. Overlong, plodding stuff. I really wanted to like it, but sadly it was just Heth Ledger's Joker that made any impression while the rest of the film was just TALK, TALK, TALK!!!! I love Christopher Nolan (Inception and Memento are watch-a-hundred-times classics!) but the first two parts of his bat-trilogy have been so poor! Hoping the 3rd one is actually good! There are probably more, but I've found quite a lot of "classics" don't live up to the hype and it's just reviewers agreeing with eachother because they think that if they badmouth a "worthy" film then they won't be taken seriously in the beard-stroking Film Studies club!. |

This is a re-post. Full Metal Jacket. Extremely overrated, pretentious crap film. Awaiting a shitstorm of people praising this piece of sh*t to the skies... Greetings! Greetings! |

I considered Kubrick's The Shining to be a great work of horror, but films I've never been able to like, no matter how hard I try, are the Star Wars movies (any of the six), Titanic, Rocky, Saving Private Ryan (The Thin Red Line is an overlooked masterpiece), The War of the Worlds, A Beautiful Mind, Schindler's List and The Sting.

The Steven Spielberg one which, I think, is War of the Worlds, so I shouldn't have put it with the definite article in my original post!
