Best: At Close Range (Penn/Walken) or Resevoir Dogs
Worst: That damn Anotnio Banderas/Lucy Lui Flick ..."Ecks and (something)" Saw it in the theatre. It was so bad the memory of it kept me up, unable to sleep for 2 days. Good thing I was workng my way through SRD's Gap at the time. Awful movie!!!
Also anything with Steve Guttenberg in it.

Zardoz was one of Connery's first post-Bond films. There was another one, which for the life of me I don't recall the title - it was an espionage thriller, just not over the top like Bond.
Later he did The Wind and the Lion, The Man Who Would Be King and Robin and Marion, all movies which I liked.
But he's still my favorite Bond, too.

'Little Man Tate', is one of my all time favourites.
Interesting reading through this thread. 'Total Recall' never bothered me. 'Robocop' however, made me feel physically sick it was so violent. I thought it more violent than any realistic type film like 'The Godfather', for example.matrixman wrote:I'm afraid I agree with edinburghemma about Total Recall: it was a very repulsive movie. The premise had great potential, but director Paul Voerhoven seemed more interested in grossing out the viewer with his brand of sadistic violence than in telling a good story. Voerhoven struck a good balance in Robocop, but with Total Recall I thought he just went off the deep end.

My favorite movie is Ghostbusters.
My least favorite is harder to pin down. The movie I felt the most ripped-off by was Batman & Robin. I've never walked out of a film but that was close.
Steve Guttenberg is good in Jodie Foster's Home For The Holidays.

I've never seen Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever but I've heard it's awful.A Gunslinger wrote: Worst: That damn Anotnio Banderas/Lucy Lui Flick ..."Ecks and (something)"

I've walked out of two movies in my life, and that was one of them.Horrim Carabal wrote:The movie I felt the most ripped-off by was Batman & Robin. I've never walked out of a film but that was close.
(The other was Sphere but only because of how badly I felt they'd messed up from the book. (I was young and naive.)

I like how this discussion picked right up after a 16-year gap
Least favorite: glad to see Natural Born Killers named by someone...didn't like it when it came out, rewatched it many years later and absolutely hated it. And I don't hate many movies.
It's either that or The Tree of Life. Some people claim that's their all-time favorite movie, and I couldn't stand it. There are some interesting aspects, so I wont say it's the worst movie, just among my least favorite

When you get to the "spoiler" ending you don't care and you feel robbed at same time one of my least favorite movies
Indiana Jones and Last Crusade one of my favorites - I thought it was fun, action packed, funny and interesting I know some people had beefs with it but I found it a great fun flick

Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

My wife saw a Josey Wales for the first time ever this summer. Always nice to introduce somebody to something like that.
The idea that open Waters has a sequel is about the funniest thing I've heard all year.
