Simple exercise, really. Put down the last film you have watched, and instead of rating it yourself, let someone else give their (brief) comment and rating.
The idea of this is to allow people to tell us what they think.
For example, if I were to mention A View to a Kill, JennyFlexFan can reply and sing its praises to us at his heart's content.
Then, if he has seen Spider-Man 3 or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, he could put one of those down for others to rate.
So, to start this off:
Bridge to Terabithia

Terabithia was a very good movie, it had a few sad parts though.
Next up is AT WORLD'S END!
Crap. Talk about killing the bird that laid the golden egg, that series has disappeared down the drain.
The Bourne Supremacy
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
Papillon
Overrated drama with Steve McQueen repeatedly trying to escape from an island prison before his teeth fall out. Sometimes considered a classic because it was made in the 70's and had McQueen in it, this is plodding, middlebrow stuff. Watch Bullit instead.
Next: The Wild Bunch
Next: A Fish Called Wanda
Marks the 20th anniversary of the last time John Cleese was funny.
Next: Fight Club
Way overrated brutal film which some people find unique. If only Ed Norton and Meatloaf had pummeled each other into oblivion.
Seven Year Itch.
Wonderful Billy Wilder comedy with Marilyn Monroe tempting her neighbour to stray from his wife. Proof that Monroe was one of the finest comic performers ever. And it provided one of cinema's greatest images. Think a white dress blowing around Monroe's waist as she gamely tries to keep it from going any higher.
Next: Rebecca
Assuming, of course, that you refer to the 1940 Hitchcock version...
A splendid film lead by two of the world's greatest film performers; Laurence Olivier, and Joan Fontaine. Undoubtedly one of Hitchcock's best, and one of the finest films made to date.
Next: "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"
Next: 'The Silence of the Lambs.'
Next: Romeo Must Die
Next: Goodfellas
Ocean's Thirteen
Next: The Good German.
Again, not a bad film, but you'll forget it about a week later.
Next: Red Dust
Batman Begins
Next: Zodiac
Oz - Season One
Next: Zodiac. This is for someone who has actually seen it.
Not too keen on Fincher's work (though I was impressed with Seven). An OK thriller which is unfortunately too long to sustain viewing interest.
Next: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
An hour and a half of fun. I'm not into the Fantastic Four movies to much, but this film had awesome effects and a easy to follow plot. I also have a feeling there will be more Fantastic Four films.
Next film:
The Untouchables (1987)
Next: Dirty Harry.
Clint Eastwood is in his element as Harry Callaghan, a vigilante cop with little time for the liberal, namby-pamby, do-gooding, ponces who run the police department. he knows that the only true justice comes from the barrel of a gun, a Magnum 45, to be precise.
Next:
Never Say Never Again
As for NSNA, it's a fun film with some good elements but is IMO among the worst of the Bond films and is by far Connery's weakest Bond film.
Next: Carrie.
Next: Die Hard 2
Next: Being John Malkovich.
Written by the great Charlie Kaufman, Being John Malkovich is wonderful oddity. Kaufman is the funniest writer to tackle the nature of being human since Kafka. Malkovich is an inspired choice as the lead. He sends up his own persona and delivers one of the performances of his career. Even better is the idea that a highbrow like Malkovich would be close friends with Charlie Sheen.
Next: Lost in Translation
