How many of you have seen DONNIE DARKO? If you havent I believe it is already out to by in the US, and it comes out 24th March in the UK. People see this movie it is FANTASTIC!!!! It's fucked up, but oh so, so good!

If you want a sense of how kinda messed up it is go to

But this film is bound to get a cult following very very soon....

I don't blame you in the least!

But personally, I liked Dusk t'ill Dawn (mindless Vampire action + Salma? Bonus). I don't mind cheesy action/horror/adventure flicks if that's all their trying to be. I can appreciate a movie which is simply trying to be nothing more than "fun" entertainment.

Take a movie like "Resident Evil": OK, not Oscar material, but its fun for people who like cheesy zombie action... You should listen to the director's tracks, the director and the actors are laughing their asses off at how cheesy some of the scenes were. People that don't take themselves or their movie too seriously, people that realise their movie is just entertainment.... I can appreciate that.

My own all time worst movies include:
ID4
Jurassic Park (all)
Deep Impact
Armageddon
Batman whatever (the one with Mr Freeze)
Godzilla (the hollywood one)
Any movie that doesn't keep track of bullets fired vs clip size
Titanic (ok movie, just too sappy for me, my old university roomate said she saw it 10 times in theatres.. dang!)

Well said that man! However it does stand to reason that Resident Evil was crap, just like I found Tomb Raider. They werent true to the games.

Now that one, along with Armageddon on your list, relates to what you just said above.

Zoink wrote: Jurassic Park (all)

As much as I'm with you on the second and third crappy JP attempts, it still remains that the orginal, Speilberg, Jurrasic Park is a fantastic movie. Well in my opinion anyways.

Batman and Robin
