Ferris Bueller's Day Off, utter c o c k
I thought that the first time I watched it.

Then I watched it again. And again. And a few more times.

It is the biggest grower I have seen - give it another go and appreciate the subtle comic timing, fake 250 GTO California, hot 80s girl and bad hair.

What's not to like?

Tbh, 'Jedi' was awful: after the easy going flow of IV and V, it was almost like the actors had been bodysnatched by some travelling band of an amateur dramatics collective, fresh from drowning Essex in a vat of wine.

Not funny, no matter how many times you quote it in my face.

I loved FBDO when I was a teen.

Watched it again a couple of years ago and thought it was a crock of embarrassing bilge. A couple of good lines. That's it.

I hate the Star Wars films. Loved them when I was a kid but the scriptwriting just doesn't stand up when viewed through an adult's eyes. Hokey, juvenile stuff.

Slightly cheating, because it's telly not film, but: Red Dwarf.

Stupid, irritating, wky, same-joke-repeated-infinity-times-over, dirty, student, quote-mongering, toss.
Is +1 still allowed round these parts?

One small point i'd make though bluebus - your anti-Dwarf rants would be improved by a mention of the terrible Chris Barrie. He's got to be up there in the top 5 of all time wastes of skin.

So there's the coalman, stood in the dock, kaftan, wig, bell; the full bit. Judge says to 'im 'This isn't fancy dress' so the coalman replies 'and I suppose you think you look normal, your honour?'

Risky Biz unquestionably kicks the derriere of Bueller - let's get it straight.

Which may have an immense amount to do with Rebecca De Mournay, for whom the phrase hubba hubba was created.

Your words often have a certain resonance, but this? This?

Delirium. It can be naught else.

No Country For Old Men. Though I wasn't expecting a deep, artistic movie that was going to seemingly fall apart into vagueness at the end. That irritated the p!ss out of me.

I'm going to hands down agree with the Harry Potter and LOTR.

Oh! Napoleon Dynamite. All those Vote For Pedro t-shirts.. I couldn't even finish the movie. Garbage.
