Some aweseome lines in it that still run through my head:

Oh you English are soooo superior . . .well you know where you'd be with out the good ol' United states. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire.

I don't care who you are, Mr Manfrenjensen, but you need to leave this instant!

You also stepped into a dark place, whoever mentioned they hated Best in Show. That thing is funny from start to finish. Example,

"We met in Starbucks. Actually, I was at one Starbucks, and I saw her at another Starbucks across the street."

Next someone will be saying they hated Fletch.

I've tried watching a Fish Called Wanda several times; it is such a snoozer.

Agree with this - enjoyable but totally overrated.

I disagree with the OP, though. Dangerous Liaisons was fantastic, IMO.

I think it would have been a great movie if the ending had not been so sappy. I wish the chick would have screwed a dude and totally left Bradley Cooper alone at the dance. Then if he had pulled out an AR-15 and mowed down his ex wife and friends, it would have been just stunning.

Seriously, can anyone explain why they think Lost in Translation was "brilliant?"

I'm surprised no one has said Citizen Kane. I think film school types love it, but I found it tedious.

I do love Casablanca, though. Hate Titanic (which shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the other two, even CK)

I also have fallen asleep on Blade Runner six times. I want to like it. It's the kind of thing I should like. But I don't.

Any Andrew Lloyd Weber adaptation
Election
Crash, a cheap ripoff of Robert Altman's Short Cuts. It should never have won a best picture Oscar.

Ludicrous! Terms of endearment and Steel Magnolia overrated??? Ludicrous!

I need an explanation too. And I love Woody Allen movies so I can take character development, but this LiT was such a waste.

+1. Only part I could tolerate was the music and dance at the conclusion

Disturbing and upsetting are good.Hollywood endings are what make movies bad.

Also exposing the ugly underbelly of India's street children to the world was a good thing.
