You are not giving me too many choices here, and I am afraid with some of these we would reopen the old wounds, but just as a quick scan...

***American Beauty Incredibly bad.
***The Insider Didn't see because of its agenda
***Fight Club What I knew about it didn't make me go see it
***Wonder Boys Didn't see it based on its Director/Stars
***Saving Private Ryan Atrocious
***Memento Still to see it
***Billy Elliot Don't know about this one

But seriously, I am mot much plugged into the modern day American movies scene. We go to the movies less frequently than I would like, and when we do, we try to make sure it is something worth watching. Most of our vewing is done at home. When I go to the rental places there are hundreds of promising films on the shelves that I have not seen yet. There is no theater showing good films in Wilmington (the last one one closed down), and Ritz in Phily is about 40 minutes away.
