Okay, boosting this from ashlle1, 'cause I like it lots.

Am feeling vaguely ADD at the moment, so let's play a game. Simple games. Two movies you love, two movies you hate, and why for all of them. And then chitchat in response to other people.

Me first, and I'm going to use other movies than the ones I picked over there.

HATE:

The last two Matrix movies: Wait, I'm sorry. What am I saying? There were no other Matrix movies. There was just that really good movie with neat special effects and an ending with great potential. And then nothing else. Okay, maybe a video game or two, but that's it.

Moulin Rouge!: I'm not sure I should admit that in public, but, oh, did I hate Moulin Rouge! with a passion. I mean, I loved the visuals and I loved the soundtrack, but together ... my GOD, did they grate on my nerves. Plus, Nicole Kidman -- blech.

LOVE:

Sneakers: Look, it's on USA Network right now! And it's got Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, James Earl Jones and River Phoenix. And look, they're all snarky and mysterious. Wheeeee.

Citizen X: Pretty much one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen HBO put out. I really need to watch that again.

Okay, your turn. :)

EDIT: Dear internal organs, behave or I'm selling you all on the black market.

Waterboy: I'm sorry, I just don't get why Adam Sandler is funny. I really don't.

The only movie of his I can honestly say that I liked was Big Daddy, but that's mostly because it's got Jon Stewart and that cute little kid.

I like Sandler-not-being-a-big-dumbass movies, such as The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. He's a little goofy, but not overpoweringly so. One of these days I'll actually get around to seeing his "serious" movies (Spanglish and....oh crap, I can't remember....runs to IMDB.....ah, yes, Punch-Drunk Love. I think he has potential if he'd quit being a dumbass.
