You know. The one that everyone else raved about or said you had to see that was totally lost on you when you got around to it.

Mine is Donnie Darko. Don't get it. Wasn't a good movie. Didn't think it deserved any further discussion. Mulholland Drive ranks second.

Phantasm and Phantasm 2 *ducks*

The acting sucks. The special effects sucks. The jawas and toy fly are stupid. Reggie is a poor man's Ash. The Tall Man and silver balls are cool but in two movies they account for 10 minutes of screen time.

This is a great question Gregmo.

I have to say that I loved Mulholland Drive. We're considering talking about that on an upcoming podcast actually.

I also like the Phantasm series. I think it's mostly because of the music and atmosphere, but I agree that the acting is pretty bad.

For me it's Michael Clayton. I don't understand why that movie warranted so much buzz. I thought it was decent but people were telling me that it was amazing.

Watch it again Asshole. How can you watch this movie once and think you've gotten everything it has to offer? I'd bet a testicle you couldn't explain the plot line to me correctly if I cornered you right now.

Sorry Brain Chomper, but I don't think I'll be watching this movie ever again.

I loved Steve Carell on the Daily Show and I think he's a teriffic actor. Everyone I know claimed this was the funniest movie they ever saw and from my point of view it was getting the same praise nationaly. I was so bored during this movie. It was 30 minutes to long and all of the funny parts were shown in the trailer.

Oh boy! A little bit of When Brothers Attack happening here. Each go to your corner, drink a bottle of rum (or JD for you Chomps) and come out swinging. My money's on Chomps. Sorry Butch.

The Blair Witch Project.

You guys should remember the hype surrounding that one, I was excited as Hell about it. Then when I finally got around to seeing it...I was severely disappointed, I only really liked the ending.

I expected that title might be amongst the responses.

yeah same with angel and demons

seems like any movie on the subject of religion is hyped but is lame

besides Religulous that was an amazing documentary/comedy
