Agreed.
I've been to the cinema five times this millenium, one of them was to watch Fight Club. I walked out.
someone who has back to the future II and III on their list should frankly be barred from having any opinion. on anything. ever.
myabe if you went to the cinema a bit more often you'd have a better appreciation of the art form ;)
there have been way more than 5 excellent films this millenium so you're certainly missing out liam
do feel however that you need to have seen a film before you can dismiss it. even if it's just on telly, when you don;t really see it properly.
I'm not doubting there have been more than five excellent filsm this millenium, its just that I have very rarely had the time or the inclination to go to the cinema.
Its actually six times, I remembered I went to the Cornerhouse to see Control last year.

I remember reading an article about a decade ago when there was a special director's cut of "Leon" screened as a one-off in Paris with only Besson's friends family & the cream of France's cineaste community invited.
Apparently the extra hour or so of footage made it absolutely unambiguously clear that the killer and Natalie Portman's character were boning. People were walking out in disgust. French people.

I've got the International version.The great bits which should have made it into the Cinema release,are when Leon takes Matilda on for some "hits",not just the one on the rooftop you see. The ambiguous bit is,no they don't screw,but Leon's only misgiving about them being together,is...erm that he's had his heart broken before.
It's still a good film despite that;more offensive is ICHI THE KILLER's view that if a girl is raped,she loves a bit of it after
