Listen, I'm not going to watch Avatar, but you can't say the effects look horrible when it's the most expensive movie ever made.
 
With regards to Episode One, this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Not that I watched the whole thing, but knowing that it's there makes me feel warm.
You can go to the page if you want to watch all 70 minutes, I'm not going to embed all of them.

Jurassic Park, but don't hate it, simply don't like the plot and all.
 
Can't think of any else right now, so far all the ones named here I pretty much liked, specially Star Wars I, the Austin Powers trilogy and Wayne's World are ace, Titanic and Gladiator are epic, Pearl Harbor pretty good and I am Legend also, though I prefer 30 days or however it is called.

I wasn't commenting on the effects, Henners.

I've seen reviews of the film that show more than just snippets.  It just doesn't really do much for me.  Maybe if I see it, I'll be surprised though.

Anyhow, back on track:

Independence Day
War of the Worlds

Actually, pretty much anything with Tom Cruise in.

Whoa dawg he was in Eyes Wide Shut so you should qualify that statement.

Tom Cruise is an incredibly overrated actor, so it follows that mostly everything he's in is probably overrated.  I was especially disappointed with War of the Worlds, though, because I would have preferred if they hadn't updated it to fit the times. 

Edit: I haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut yet, but keep in mind that I said mostly everything. Wink

Pearl Harbor is a complete fallacy.  A lot of what happened in that film was made up.

Tora! Tora! Tora! is much more accurate.

And even if you ignore the historical inaccuracies it's still a turd of a film.

I enjoy Wayne's World but Bill and Ted is much better.

I liked Minority Report, even though it may or may not have made sense. Also, Collateral was pretty good.
 
I wasn't talking about the effects to you, coz was smack-talking the 3D glory.

Yeah he's still terrible, but he was in one godly movie where he did an alright job.

Haven't seen Bill and Ted neither Tora! Tora! Tora!. Anyways, I saw Pearl Harbor long time ago, so I'm based on an old assumption. The same goes for Independence Day, Mars Attack and Twister, three movies I used to watch very often when I was a little kid.

Full Metal Jacket

I actually turn it over when it was on and it was really not doing anything for me.

Interesting topic.  Here's some of my thoughts:

The Matrix- I absolutely hated it when I first saw it.  It grew on me slightly, but still failed to live up to the hype.  I saw the sequel in the theaters and don't have any fond memories.

The Pirates of The Caribbean- I have only seen the first one, but it just didn't appeal to me.

I can agree with those who mentioned Scarface.  It's an interesting watch, but I prefer Carlito's Way (same star and director I believe).

I really did not enjoy the Blair Witch Project, despite so many people describe it as great film.
I found the story which it's based on quite frightening and mysterious, though I don't think the film does it any good. The ending was hilarious as well I think.
