This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies:
This one, imo, was terrible, despite having first-rate actors Johnny Depp, Leo DiCaprio and John C. Reilly:

(37,846 posts)I can't handle "serious" movies these days. Reality sucks enough.
And I don't know why this movie ticked me off so much but I hated it:

(865 posts)The Godfather was about power.
The Godfather Part II was about the price of power.
The Godfather Part III was about three hours long.
The first two are in my top ten best movies ever made. The third one was by comparison awful, and even without comparing it to the first two it was mediocre.
I loathe Mrs. Doubtfire.

(21,010 posts)Even though I love Ralph Fiennes. I'm not a fan of films that glorify adultery. She's married to Colin Firth and fancies a shag with Ralph Fiennes? Sew your wild oats when you're single. Geesh!
I felt the same way about Bridges of Madison County.
I didn't find The Exorcist scary because I don't believe in demons, possession and all that nonsense. Good special effects for the time though.

Not my favorite movie, but I thought it was pretty solid. The novel is worth a look, as well.

Flag Day is a 2021 drama based on Jennifer Vogel's 2004 memoir, Flim-Flam Man: A True Family History.
It's directed by and stars Sean Penn.
His daughter, Dylan Penn, plays Jennifer Vogel.
It's an excellent film.

(2,276 posts)Absolutely hate Gone with the wind. While I admire the tech that was amazing for it's time, the movie was based on one of the few books that I feel should be banned/burned because it was so awful- poorly written, too long, awful characters, especially the main character, scarlet, scarletta, whatever her name is.
Current favorite movies are Coco and Encanto.

I actually liked Showgirls and disliked Pulp Fiction.
In the hatred category, The Last Jedi. As for the Rise of Skywalker, sure, I didn't like it. But after Rian Johnsons, if you can even call it a movie, that was probably the best they could do to salvage things. Should have done the Dallas swerve and Luke just wakes up from a bad dream and restart the saga.
Lord of the Rings trilogy was great, the Hobbit, they should have just paid Peter Jackson what he wanted.
