Let’s all come to grips with Hugh Grant. He’s a one trick pony. He plays the same damn character (with slight variations) in every single movie. He’s the irreverent, slightly eccentric, slightly...

Re: Top cult movie

I just wrote an "Ode to Fight Club," but to call it a cult film isn't correct.

My vote: Repo Man

Re: Most thought provoking movies

One movie that got me thinking recently was a rental of "Hard Candy."

If you haven't seen it -- rent it. Very powerful look at vengeance and pedophilia.

I don't object to philosophical movies -- just poorly constructed ones like "Full Metal Jacket."

Francis Ford is a much better filmmaker than Kubrick.

It's not flame bait. It's simply an opinion and a worthy topic of discussion.

I think Kubrick is overrated. Not just on "2001" -- the terrible "Eyes Wide Shut," the mediocre "Full Metal Jacket"...
