Some good choices there, and unusual to see Larry Flynt mentioned by anyone!

Its a good film made better that its a true story. I love it when the under dog takes on the establishment. Also Larry Flint was in it as a Judge, he just takes the urine.

At last i find someone who agrees that CT is not all its cracked up to be, thank you my friend for restoring my faith in human taste Very Happy

Couple of my favorites have to be
Blade Runner and John Carpenter's The Thing,
Both of which were extraordinary films

has it really been a year?

Wow!
I have heard some negative comments on this film, and by and large have ignored them, much as i did with V, preferring to make up my own mind, but when someone like Cat says no.... i think to myself, how the hell did Frank get it so wrong, maybe he needs the backing of a real film maker? maybe he is just a comic book artist/writer after all, with grand designs above his station.
so, back to the drawing board Frank... Literary Exclamation

The Spirit wasn't terrible (haven't read the comic btw) but it was fucking bizarre.  Probably not a film I'd buy or be worried about watching again.... except for Scarlett Johannson and Eva Mendes.

I think possibly Frank Miller got a bit carried away by Robert Rodriguez's courtesy in putting him down as a do-director.

Perhaps he didn't realise the experience under Rodriguez's belt that made the job look easy.

You can see the way the film looks more like a live story board than a film.

Bit more experience, maybe?

Writing was awful though.

I'm not a big fan of the comic per se, but why adapt Eisner and then remove any kind of Eisneriean feel. Looks like a massive ego trip funded by a film industry desperate to jump on the comic book bandwagon to me.

Strange, i was having a similar conversation with my Debs the other day, but i have not seen it yet so i cant comment.

one example i might bring up here is that in 1973 Lou Reed released Berlin, it was a commercial disaster. 36 years later, it is heralded as a masterpiece. but like i said, i cant comment because i haven't seen it yet.
