Its better than Thin Red Line.
I think Vu may even like it!

You dont know what tastes to expect from a guy who owns Spy Kids and hates Thin Red Line, then goes and buys classics like Reservoir Dogs and Amelie, but then is thinking that Joe Dirt would make a nice addition ;)

I'm suprised no-ones mentioned this puppy (probably one of the best ever):

I buy alot of movies I haven't seen in the theater.  I buy others based on recomendations and reviews.   Thin Red Line is one I saw in the theaters.  No need to watch it again.

BTW.. have you seen Joe Dirt or Spy Kids?  I'll watch most movies once.

Look for a review in Amazon. You are gonna love it, and I was the one who recomended  Amelie.

I know you recomended that Animal... and I'll check out that one too.

But the point is... I'm not here slamming on movies I haven't seen.  You, on the otherhand, are using movies you haven't seen to attempt to define an individual.

That seems a tad bit hypocritical.

Dude I saw both of them.
I was only joking, pulling your leg.

And by the way, they are showing  Joe Dirt right now on HBO and I have that on.
Its in the part where he is talking to the meteor.

I liked it but cant watch it more than twice.

My dear friend Paul and I saw that movie when it came out. Paul is so very different from me. He is a political radical (Think of Chomsky, but more liberal) He works in the Film industry (MFA in Film from Loyola Marymount) Is a Veggan. When both of us hate a movie, it makes a profound statement I think :) But it helps that I already saw the movie a few years before when it was called "Short Cuts" lol

That right there ruined what was otherwise a fairly decent movie for me. :rolleyes:

Length was very trying, but I liked TTRL...excellent cast (not just the 'big' names - The supporting cast was excellent too), the story dragged in some respects but there were stand out sections -e.g Where Nick Nolte is ordering Elias Koteas to get his men up the hill.

SPR would easily be in my top 3 films, however even I realise that after the first 30 mins...it is really just a run of the mill A to B story that any good director could've made.

The top war movies ever made are as follows:

1) All Quiet on the Western Front
2) Thin Red Line
3) The Bridge Over the Rive Kuai (can't spell it)
