Now that's a crime. The rest I can forgive (well, almost - some Charlie Chaplin is fantastic. "The Great Dictator" for a start). As for my 10 never/won't films (which is quite hard because I will watch just about anything...) 1. Grease 2. The Sound of Music 3. The Devil's Own 4. Spiceworld: the movie 5. Beauty & The Beast 6. Gigli 7. Swept Away 8. Urm... 9. Errr... 10. Hmmmm... Those are 7 that I will actively avoid. I can't think of another 3 that I haven't seen and would actively avoid. I can think of a lot of films I have seen that I would rather poke my eyes out than see again though. Not seen The Godfather? Now that’s a crime.

You're a brave man posting that here ;-0)) I think I agree with the others though. Gigli is the j-lo/affleck movie that bombed? Damn, will have to go google the rest tonight.

Daisy, i don't watch movies anymore because they all seem kind of pointless. Maybe it's all that aht training, but i usually spend my time wondering why they editted the film the way they did etc. As a result, the list you mention could be from here to next Friday, but the top ten could be: anything Disney any horror films anything with comic book heroes remakes of books i love nationalistic war films x-rated films (yawn) movies with unnatural whippet women movies with overbuilt spermheads oh, you get the idea... i did like Brother Sun, Sister Moon, tho. And Ghandi... *ducks and runs for cover* … is that Dragon, risen from the dead? i thought he’d been swallowed by his x-box!

But I'm aghast about the Pirates of the Carribean. It's a fabulously good film - just really entertaining. Now to have a go at my top ten.. 1. LOTR (OK it's copying but...) 2. Finding Nemo 3. The Terminator 4. Troy (couldn't even bear to watch the French and Saunders take-off) 5. The Ladykillers (new version - why!?) 6. Van Helsing 7. Gothika 8. Scooby Doo 1, 2 or any 9. Garfield The Movie (I'd hate to be put off the comic strip) 10. Stepford Wives (found the first version too scary!)

Otherwise, I'll watch anything me (easiuly bored, insomniac - may not watch 'til the end but will probably give it a go). As long as it's not hardcore horror. BTW - when I first read that post I thought you said you wouldn't watch Pingu, which would be a travesty. Do not see the Exorcist and that’s not just because of the Mike Oldfield soundtrack.

OK, it is creepy in parts, but when she starts spewing the pea-stuff, how can anyone not find that hilarious? It's just so, so <i>bad</i>! I don’t get why people are so afraid of the Exorcist.
