And since there is still that boy in me, I watched it with pleasure too, a perverse pleasure, to be sure, knowing full well the film is not any sort of high art or even craft... just a formulaic hodge-podge of standard episodes, but hey, that boy in me liked it and stayed till the end.If you liked that one, you should try to get the Russian film called Voyna - it is about 100 times more gripping and filled with better action... don't know if you can get it here, though, but certainly worth checking.

I didn't think we'd ever agree on a movie! Not that I really disagree with your choices. Most of them I've just never seen.
Perhaps it's because I grew up with Spielberg and Lucas that I like their works so much. Sure there are finer films out there. But like you there is still a boy in me and he likes the easy to digest popcorn movies.
I would like to think the best trait of a movie lover would be his/her ability to suspend disbelief. Most movies allow me to tune out life quite nicely. I'm not one of those people that have to figure out what the writer or director is trying to accomplish or try to predict where the movie is going while it's still playing. Unless I'm in a bad mood to begin with it takes a pretty poorly done movie to take me out of the story. The 10 minutes or so after watching a movie is the make or break point for me. If the movie is still resonating inside me I tend to think positively of it. Some movies hit me like a jolt of espresso afterwards! I still remember certain movies vividly after only one viewing. Even movies that disturbed me like "Kids", Requiem for a Dream", and "Leaving Las Vegas" have made fairly positive impressions on me.It's hard for me to relate to non-American movies but I'm open-minded enough to give them a shot. I even put Tokyo Story into my netflix queue.

seeing "Tokyo Story". It is a wonderful film.
