I'm genuinely interested. Fire away!
Best:
~ Dr. Strangelove by Sir Stanley Kubrick himself, a god amongst men; arguably THE NUMBER ONE satire about the Cold War, perhaps the best and boldest satire ever made.
~ Fargo by the Coen brothers, introduced me to dark humor and character exploitation. Brutal, shocking, at the same time hilarious; they always manage to make the story believable no matter how wild it gets. Perhaps not their definitive work, but positively one of the best films ever to grace the 90's.
~ Oldboy by Park-Chan-wook. Critics despise the film but it remains one of my favorites. Delightfully horrifying (my eyes were peeled to the screen), absurdly humorous, and completely twisted and mind-boggling. Contains my favorite ending in all cinema history.
~ Master of the Flying Guillotine, it's my favorite by Mizoguchi. He is a master of storytelling, no characters in any film have provoked so much emotion from me.
~ The Virgin Spring by Ingmar Bergman. I wept.
Worst:
~ Reno 911!: Miami by Robert Ben Garant. Show was hilarious, movie was painful.
~ JJ Abram's Star Trek. I don't even. Just no. Really I'm just mad because the actors were casted solely for looks (and tattooed Romulans, wtf is this), despite the fact that the cinematography was impressive and the plot was exciting and
~ The Psycho remake by Gus Van Sant just had to have been a joke. I refuse to believe otherwise.
~ Alien vs. Predator by Paul Anderson. A STRAIGHT UP DISGRACE GTFO
~ From Justin to Kelly! Ridiculous and cheesy and irritating beyond belief. I can't imagine what drove me to watch it in the first place.
~ also, anything by Shyamalan past The Sixth Sense is worth an honorable mention.
