Don't spoil it for me, I'm reading the book.

I hate the American Pie Films.... eugh

I liked all 3 and thought American Wedding was by far the best. Stiffler and the guy's father are the 2 best characters.

Anything with Eddie Murphy from The Golden Child on up

You didn't even like Bowfinger or Life. Those are 2 of my all time favorites ever. Especially Life. And then there's the nutyt proffesors, his family was hilarious and he plays all the oarts.

Nope. Nutty Professor was great, but the rest sucked. He's lost it and he won't ever get it back. He needs to either retire or get some of his credit back by doing a stand-up tour; he's great at that. I mean, just look at the movies he's made in recent years:

Nutty Professor 2
Holy Man
Vampire in Brooklyn
Daddy Day Care
The Haunted Mansion
Beverly Hills Cop 3
Boomerang
Metro

His career is in shambles!!!!

[Hawkeye]

OK Holy Man, Metro, and Boomerang were bad. But I LOVED Daddy Day Care and BHC 3 and NP 2. I liked NP2 better tehn the 1st one.

[Nixxxed]

Yes, Boomerang overall was a pretty bad movie, but I bought the DVD just for the scenes where Grace Jones plays the model/diva Strange.

"You're not gay! You just don't want to f*ck me!!! You're not gay! (Pointing) HE'S gay! And him! And he's gay too!"

Also, the scene showing her new commercial where she "gives birth" to her new perfume.

I actually got to meet her at a private club show in Houston, and she was an absolute, yet totally loveable nutcase. And the show itself was classic Grace - she pulled out a fatty onstage, leaned over the crowd for a light, and smoked most of it before singing "La Vie en Rose". Then, she stopped singing midway through the song, sat on her scenery, and mumbled over and over, "Oh, I'm toooo stoooooooooooooned..." as the music continued to play.

The Blair Witch Project. Possibly the most senseless thing I've ever watched.

That really shouldn't even qualify as a movie

[macmar71]

Unbreakable
The Ring

[golden braid]

Let's see:

Blair Witch Project
Natural Born Killers (I usually don't like Oliver Stone movies)
Speed 2
Forces of Nature
The American Pie movies
Batman and Robin

There are many more that I can't think of now

I liked Coming To America.

'To those that have the courage to drop out and find themselves, may God be with you and take you through Utah, avoiding Nevada completely.'

To anyone who's ever heard of the comic brilliance of Micallef: very Micallef wouldn't you say?

Have you seen Broadcast News & Defending Your Life?

See them.
Broadcast News is the more critically acclaimed. Intelligent script, good performances, funny supporting role from Joan Cusack, & my favorite line: "Well, I certainly hope you die soon."

Defending Your Life has more Brooks touches and has Meryl Streep. More laughs, sillier. A good date flick.

Let me know what you think.

I love Broadcast News.
and James L Brooks' stuff generally (Mary, Simpsons, Good as it Gets, etc).
