    Anything by Wes Anderson.

    THANK YOU. All of his films are mostly style thickly dolloped over a story of little of any substance. I did enjoy grand Budapest hotel however.

    I'll add anything by Tim burton. Trades on the art styles of the 1920s cinema and rebrands it as his own. I know for a fact he just happens to surround himself with talented people (art directors etc) that make him look good. Always comes up with rubbish ideas and stifles decent ones
    Exactly. Grand Budapest was the only one where his style didn't piss me off. Everything about The Life Aquatic and especially Darjeeling Ltd really did. And Burton isn't a great storyteller at all. His films are a bit hollow.

    re. Easy Rider, I've got no interest in seeing it again but the production of that movie was a pivotal moment in Hollywood history.



    Grand Budapest was so symmetric in its style it made me feel nauseous.
    I bloody hate Wes Anderson films.
    Critics wet themselves over him but for me it's a case of The Emperors New clothes.

    Mr W loved Cloud Atlas. We both loved Grand Budapest Hotel. Maybe we are odd, but the rest of you probably knew that.

    @Leuth moaning that people can't accept his opinions is really funny.

    Fecking leutherans, what have they ever done for us?

    Edict of worms.

    Spelling was never a strong point for me.

    My list of demands would definitely have something about not slagging off Morgan Fox in it

    The Hangover. It's the same story as Dude Where's my Car and everyone hated that.

    I just don't find it funny...

    Thing is, Dude Where's My Car? was nowhere near as good as the book.

    Special mentions to Notting Hill and Love Actually - twee twaddle of the highest order.

    Star Wars is still pony, in fact its even more pony than when I posted earlier, and anyone who says Saving Private Ryan is tosh, needs a shooing.

    Agree, although Shaving Ryan's Privates was better.

    Whiplash of a couple of years ago was simply a 'tough Sergeant with a bunch of rookies' film using music as the vehicle, it said nothing new and i thought was a bit of a con in it's rating.

    Are you sure you're working hard enough then?

    You might be onto something there.

    Can't agree with those four. You will include Zulu next.

    As for Notting Hill etc. Just about anything with Hugh Grant should be included on this thread.

    I nearly flagged you for that. Goodfellas and The Deer Hunter are two of the greatest films ever made.

    Amazingly Hugh Grant is good in a nice little known British film called 'An Awfully Big Adventure'. The film doesn't qualify for this thread because it wasn't rated previously.

    The godfather, goodfellas and casino are all good films but I don't get as fizzy in the knickers as most people about then.

    Whiplash gets a kicking from musicians more than anyone else, but it's not supposed to be a documentary. It's not even about the music. To me it's a very well-written, stylishly-shot drama that can do more with a raised eyebrow than Marvel can do with 500 razed buildings.

    I can watch the big finish over, I never get bored of it! It's a shame I hate musicals cos La La Land is supposed to be an excellent follow-up from the director.
