These did for me recently:Shrek--it was pretty funny, I had imagined it would suck.
Fight Club--I thought this was a boxing film...Completely shocked to find out that it is a pyscological thriller/suspense film. Long but pretty good.
Spartacus--I loved to watch gladiator movies as a child (used to play them around easter/passover) and the cinematogrophy is wonderful and filled with great action scenes of the highest quality--but the acting is overbaked--and I didn't pick up on that as a youngster.
Tony Curtis and a Soliloquy don't match I had a good laugh (what's wrong with this picture?).mp
