I must have been watching crap for the last 20 years. I don't get it. What constitutes a good film for you all? What is it that you're looking for: original ideas, things you've never seen before, filming techniques, more T&A, what? Saving Private Ryan, Shindler's List are bad movies?

Let me tell you what I think is wrong with this picture...excuse the pun, but by being such die-hard fans of film you've gained much, but lost something very critical. It's called suspension of disbelief. Being hard-core fans, you know what this means, but do you practice it on a regular basis? Or do you only accept this feature when you are watching Star Wars for the 100th time?

Clerk's was one of the worst acted films I have ever seen, but it still kicked ass, the filming wasn't that great either. But there was content that still had strong appeal. How perfect does a film have to be to gain your approval?

I know these are just your opinions, but to walk out of a film is a strong statement. Except for Ghost Dad, that just sounds bad!

Please give me 5 examples of good movies. Prove that your not just film snobs. Or maybe this is what you want people to believe?

Teach me something new.
