Haha, I like these two as well. |
| Love, Actually was the worst, actually |
That was legit terrible. |
I was just coming out here to say that. I also agree with earlier nominations for Eyes Wide Shut and Forrest Gump. |
This was me after I watched Roma the first time. I didn't get it. Then, I watched it a second time. THEN I got it. It's actually brilliant, you may want to watch it a second time. And I thought the whole thing was a commentary on the class issues. I think the filmmaker was HIGHLY aware of the power dynamic and the whole film was a commentary on exactly that. That "Can you get us a smoothie" at the end...the filmmaker was making a point there. Worst movie? I'd put Sideways up there, I suffered through that one. Vanilla Sky was pretty dismal as well. |

My husband and I went to see Troy un-ironically in the theaters but we laugh/cried our way through the movie.
My favorite moment was when some person behind us yelled out in great agony, "They're IN THE HORSE!" as though the fact that the siege turned out to be successful was not set in stone. |

I think you had to watch it as a child to really like it, and most of us like it now because of nostalgia. It had some classic scenes though. |
NP. I suspect the posters here saying they hated it are also just not into humor along the lines of the Monty Python shows and movies, Mel Brooks films and similar humor. I won't try to explain it, since humor is a "you get it or you don't," love it or hate it thing. But I've found that adults who love "The Princess Bride" tend to be ones who also enjoy Python and a certain style of good-natured parodic humor. Because "Princess Bride" is a good-natured parody. But some folks just do not get, or don't like, that type of parody. That's fine. It's not all about childhood nostalgia for two reasons: One, there are those of us, including me, who saw it first as an adult and like it. Two, it's got plenty of humor that is not aimed at kids. |
As a collection of stories, it had some decent-to-good ones (and some terrific actors) but the poor/weak storylines were terrible and should have been jettisioned. I think it only got made because Richard Curtis, the writer, was hot hot hot at that point. It's as if he had a dozen ideas for movies, couldn't complete a full script for any of them, and mashed them together into this one holiday-themed mess. I do like many of the performances which are worth watching as individual scenes (Bill Nighy as the rocker, with his manager; Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, heartbreaking; Hugh Grant is amusing enough; Laura Linney's character is so pitiable). But it's the overall waste of a talented cast that's the huge pity there. |
