You do realize that it's possible for someone to watch Crash and not have their minds changed about racism. The movie wasn't eye opening for me. It didn't cover any new ground for me. I liked the different storylines and how they were all connected, and all connected by the same thing. I thought it was pretty interesting writing. Haggis did a great job.
I didn't walk out of the theatre with a new outlook on life. I didn't walk out thinking, "man, I need to change the way I live." That's not what the movie was there for. I can't imagine many people took it with more than just a grain of salt.
Hey I liked it, the Academy liked it when they gave it Best Picture. PLenty of critics liked it, and you didn't. No one is right or wrong.
I have to agree. I thought the best part about Crash was that it was very "matter of fact". I thought it didn't really have a message. It just kind of looked at the situations and said "this is how it is".
I found it very non-preachy and it in many ways lacked moral judgment of characters that were clearly flawed.
I really love cheezy/bad movies from the 80's and 90's.
I have purposely stayed away from films like Battlefield and other recent bad movies.
So I have little choice than to pick Troll 2. It has a cult following for being so bad. But I just couldn't watch the entire thing. I literally had to stop and take a break before finishing it. It's not anywhere near cheezy. Just bad.
Have you seen the documentary about Troll 2 and it's cult following?
It's actually pretty decent, it's called Best Worst Movie.
A look at the making of the film Troll 2 and its journey from being crowned the "worst film of all time" to a cherished cult classic.
The child from Troll 2, grows up to make a documentary about the making of the worst movie ever, and gathers up everyone that was involved in making the movie to see where they are now.
The lead 'actor' was basically just some dentist from a small town, and ends up going around to all these fan fests where stoned college kids worship him.
I think the Italian director was my favorite, he was delusional enough to think he was making a serious film that had a message.

I really liked that movie, I thought the concept was very cool, the imagery was amazing, and the story tugged at my heart strings. That being said I enjoyed Bicentennial Man too.
Not sure if its been mentioned. Be Kind Please Reward.
Absolutely horrible movie. Wife and I watched, didn't even so much as smirk. About a half hour in we contemplated turning it off, but we both have this thing that no matter how bad a movie is when have to watch it till the end. Easily the closest i've come to not finishing a movie.
The only laugh we got out of the movie was recommending it to her Sister and b/f telling them it was a hilarious movie.

Could be 'cause I was a snarky 15 year-old when I watched it, then forgot completely about it until Family Guy referenced it earlier this year.
Definitely not the worst I've ever seen though, my gf hated Ravenous (even though I still think it's pretty funny.

This movie was an absolute steaming pile of crap. It's not even worth swearing over. It was worse than Super Mario Brothers, which is probably my second pick.
