Re: Worst Film Ever Made Goes To...
Funny, at first glance I thought that was your list of the worst movies ever made in your opinion.
I think I really love all types of films, from Tim Burton fantasies to French minimalist dramas.
One adventure film I really remember was Black Book, a film about the Dutch resistance in World War 2, made in Holland, which certainly respected the seriousness of its subject matter, but also managed to make a thoroughly entertaining film, quite like Inglorious Basterds but in a different way.
I really think there's reasons to love or hate any film, personally. The way I see it, if a film is inspiring, interesting and enjoyable it's a good film, if it's boring than it's a bad film - part of the filmmaker's job is to hold your attention, as well as being able to theoretically explain the intellectual symbolic merits of their film.
Cabaret is a film that, for me, worked much better in theory than in practice. I thought the pacing was terrible, and made you too drowsy to have the patience to follow the subtle symbolism. Occasionally I was woken up by some wildly disturbing imagery, but was put to sleep as the context was given, so the purpose of these oddities became very unclear.
Here's one I think we can all agree on though: Spice World that laughable directionless piece of marketing for the Spice Girls.
