h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Really? I had no idea that the one I thoroughly disliked as a kid way back in the 70's was always number 4 in the series. I has thought that he decided to extend the franchise at a later date, and renamed/numbered the first film made as number 4 as a convenience.

Did anyone agree/disagree with me about Vanilla Sky?

Jonathon Ross loved it, and we normally have the same taste.

Haven't seen it, but everyone I know who did said it was awful.

It was.
I can't understand why Jonathon Ross rated it in his "Top 10 films of 2002" - he normally has such good taste.

That statement obviously does not extend to his suits though

How about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

I love the film but it could be worth burning it just to sample the interesting fumes that would be produced.

Any film where America wins the war single handed

yep, keep 3-6, ditch the others.

There has to be a Tom Cruise film somewhere that I wouldn't want to see burned, but I don't think I've seen it yet. Perhaps it's Magnolia. The rest can go - especially the last two. Hyped up as interesting films, and an utter waste of about 5 hours of my life.

You might all go mental on me but... Life of Brain. It's the worst film I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

Don't throw a , but I haven't seen it. I didn't much care for the Meaning of Life, though. Parts were good -- I love the accountants. Parts of it were awful (the guy throwing up all over - ).

I found Meaning of Life to be mostly rather sickening. I sat there going "are they allowed to to do that?" most of the time.

I did like Life of Brian, though, despite the fact I watched it after being awake for almost 40 hours and only saw the funny parts my bf woke me up for.

The Piano. Wet and dull.
The English Patient. Dusty and dry.
Rocky Horror Show. Can anyone please explain why it is supposed to be funny?

"Seven"
A completely relentless and nasty film that had no redeeming values of any kind. One of the few films I've ever watched at the theatre and actually considering asking for my money back on the way out.

"All dogs go to Heaven, Part II" is a close second.
I know I have a child, but I don't have to expose her to every rotten brightly colored bit of poorly-written crap that is supposed to be 'for children', do I?

As regards the Python films, it helps to be of a certain age and a certain mental or drug-taking history. While I find the "Mr. Creosote" episode of "The Meaning of Life" to be completely useless, the "Every Sperm Is Sacred" song gets sung around here on a regular basis by the whole family and the production and the choreography of the piece in the film should have brought an award of some kind, at least from Planned Parenthood!

Rocky Horror Picture Show is not funny so much as naughty.
In the pre-cable and video days of 1977, TRHPS was very risque and 'out there'.
I, myself, just like the songs.

I'll second burning "Seven" or "Se7en" as they like to call it. Not because it was relentless and nasty (actually, I don't mind that - I just watched "City of God" which you might describe as relentless and nasty but is an excellent film), but just because it was dull, dull, dull. Even the ending (which was supposed to be shocking) was dull.

Now, now. I like the ending of Seven.

Anything that ends up with Gwyneth Paltry's head in a box gets my vote...

Doctor Zhivago- relentlessly tedious
Gone With The Wind- overlong and overwrought melodrama
And not forgetting those turkeys by Mr. Speilberg- Hook and 1941, what was he thinking?

Brad Pitt films always get me into nothing but trouble. So they must be preserved.

Se7en is excellent. How anyone would want to burn a David Fincher film is beyond me. It's also the only film where Kevin Spacey doesn't look remotely camp. It also has a glimpse of the character Brad Pitt plays in "Twelve Monkeys". It also has Gwyneth Paltrows head in a box (I hate her too TophaT ). And gorgeous visuals. And violence. And religion. And serial killers. And emotion. And Dante.

Couldn't ask for more!!!

Twelve Monkeys- a classic. Mr Willis and Mr. Pitt have never acted so well.
