If I haven't been counted, (and I don't think I have) I must be number 7! Yeah that's sombody's lucky number.

Don't think these were complete bombs, but pretty close.
Still haven't been able to make it through Brazil.
Did NOT like F&L in LV at all. Possibly because I just don't understand that drug lifestyle at all.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

The 13th Warrior was one of the best movies I never heard about! What a great movie!

I agree, Ken. Except I did hear about it and was one of the 3 people in NYC who saw it in the theater, and then again on video. Way cool flick!
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Medusa Wrote:My husband and I tended to like some of the so-called bombs! One of our favorites was The Fifth Element. Critics said it was Bruce Willis' worst movie. We loved it! Another favorite that the critics hated was Battlefield Earth. We even like some of those cheesy movies that they play over and over on the movie channels when they have nothing else to play: Krull, Clash of the Titans, Sword and the Sorceror. . . Or am I just showing my age. hee hee
Critics don't know anything about movies! I like The 5th element. Krull and Clash of the Titans....oh, I love them! That's our age!
BTW, did you choose your name Medusa from Clash of the Titans?
Marc B. Wrote:The Fifth Element has its core fan-base. I for one love it. It's funny, action packed, good story... nothing really to dislike about it.
Bomb movies that I like:
Josey and the Pussycats
Cruel Intentions
Donnie Darko
The Big Lebowski
The Big Blue
Starship Troopers
Donny Darko is awesome movie. Though I can't understand some scenes yet...
The Big Lebowski is fun movie. Especially, the end of Steve Bushemi.....gosh! :p

The 13th Warrior is pretty good movie. I am Michael Crichton fan, nevertheless I HATE this book, "Eater of the dead".
Brazil is one of my favorite movies. Terry Gilium has many talents.
Flinx Wrote:Hudson Hawke, one of my favourites.
I'm with Flinx on this one. Hudson Hawk was great. Andi McDowell doing dolphin impressions, how can you not love that?
I also loved Casualties of War, MJ Fox was brilliant, just ashame Sean Penn mumbled his way through it.
Ed TV is always a fun watch (with a great turn by Ellen Degeneres, but I won't go there!).
Get Over It is a hidden gem in my mind, gets better every time you see it.
And I'll finish up with Worth Winning. No idea if it bombed or not, but is not well known over here, but Mark Harmon was a star in that film.
