I agree with you on Gladiator as well. I always get crazy looks when I say to that my friends.

I think I fell asleep during Gladiator - only woke up during the fight with tigers which was mildly interesting

Why? I never understood this criticism.

Becoming Jane ( didn't love it, they could have done better. Cmon it's about Jane Austen)

The Remains of The Day. Older movie and great!

^ Despite the endorsement from Empire Magazine there, I love this film. That was about the 5th time I've seen it as well. True, the ending's pretty lame, but this is a great example of what vampires should actually be when they're on the big screen, ie scary, psychotic mass-murderers with an unstoppable bloodlust and superhuman strength who'll stop at nothing to just kill anything that moves.

Although this was a little too schmaltzy in places for me, I loved the way the film took a completely different direction in the last third and Clint's directing style is very uncomplicated and subtle enough for you to forgive the odd cliche he drops in.

I have still yet to watch the Flags Of Our Fathers/Letters From Iwo Jima double he did a couple of years back. Have you seen them?

Clint does tend to fall back on cliches as a director sometimes, but as you say it never really affects the quality of the whole film. The only examples I can think of where he eats his own tail if you will as director's with Space Cowboys and Invictus, which I still thought were far from being bad movies nonetheless.

Yeah, I watched them both a few months back. Flags Of Our Fathers is a very good war movie, but I wouldn't call it brilliant exactly. I absolutely loved Letters From Iwo Jima, to the point that along with Unforgiven it's my favourite film that Clint's directed. Definitely worth a watch.

Horrible, waste of time and money. Don't watch it.

Saw Gummo on a recommendation from theuglyorgan. Probably the weirdest movie I've seen, but I liked it for that. There were lots of very memorable scenes. I wouldn't say I was blown away though. It's one of those ones that you appreciate but don't really enjoy, and it leaves you feeling kind of depressed in the end. Solid film though.

I saw the scene in the picture even before I saw the movie and it still makes me want to puke.
