Since the subject is now Bruckheimer, what I have seen:
(1) The Rock - lots of things that go boom. Decent popcorn entertainment
(2) Con Air - More of the same
(3) Armageddon - more of the same, only more moronic. Seven Samurai in space.
(4) Enemy of the State - good thriller. Fewer explosions.
(5) Gone in Sixty Seconds - idiotic. Fast cars going boom.
(6) Coyote Ugly - No explosions. Still pretty moronic. Already did Flashdance
(7) Remember the Titans - Decent feel good film. No explosion. Not his typical production.
(8) Pearl Harbor - explosions, terrible, insults memories.
(9) Black Hawk Down - His best film. I thought very good. Boom's actually make sense.
(10) Bad Company - Taking talented people, put in goofy plot.
(11) Kangaroo Jack - Terrible. Stupid. Waste of time.
(12) Pirates of the Caribbean - Good popcorn movie.
(13) Veronic Guerin - Good political film. No explosions. Why did he do this?
(14) Bad Boys II - Another waste
(15) King Arthur - certainly flawed, but if you like genre...

All in all, If Bruckheimer's name is attached, you are likely to be sitting with adolescent males. Which is why the industry loves him. Would love to seem him try to direct. That would be fun.
