Team America only one worth seeing on the list.

And let this be a warning to all -
DO NOT SEE NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE
WORST MOVIE EVER...EVER

Hi, Srebbe. If you click on my profile and then "Best Films of 2004" you'll get a pararaph on each and my recommendation. It depends on whether you feel in the mood for great melodrama, great images, or great action sequences: Million/Dagger/Avaitor in that order. LA

Cheers, I'll do that!

Agreed.

But depends on your mood.

Gritty and emotional drama - Million dollar baby

Memorable and visually stunning - Daggers

Action and drama -Aviator

Brian,

I rather liked the movie. It is an 'Ode' to US Geek-dom. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dave

Geek, ok?

Nope. "Reducing Downtime To DNV". DNV stands for Diarrhea, Nausea, and Vomiting.

Since there was no medical doctor (or healthcare worker) involved, there was no one who could legally give specific advice on how to reduce illness. The film was primarily about convincing employees to work when ill. It contains the following exchange, which is probably the worst dialogue ever filmed.

Employee: Boss, I can't come in today.
Boss: Suck it up and get to work, you pansy.
Employee: I'm sick.
Boss: Your shift starts in twenty minutes.
Employee: Boss, I'm throwing up and I've got the s**ts.
Boss: So what? There's a toilet here, right?

But having said that, Napoleon Dynamite is one to stay away from. Well away from.

National Treasure - Nicholas Cage is Nicholas Cage in a Nicholas Cage film.

He's got as many characters to his act as Vin Diesel


Go and see Million Dollar Baby or if you enjoy films like a combination of Sleepy Hollow and Ace Ventura, then see Lemony Snickets.

If you like the sort of thing thats takes the piss out of Thunderbirds then Team America World Police is fab. At least its got a reasonable story line.
