Jenpot, any movie with Tom Cruise in it, can never be described as "Best Movie Ever".
What ye thinking?!

It's brilliant despite Tom Cruise. THAT is an achievement.
I think it'd have been a lot better if it had been someone else other than Cruise. It was hard to feel sorry with Cruise and that. It had a decent plot and that but Cruise ruined that film.
Its hard for a movie to be "brilliant" and having a heavy shite lead actor.

vanilla sky without shitecruise, still has goodcruz tho (much better film too)
See, i do keep meaning to watch this but in all honesty i think the reason i love Vanilla Sky so much is down to Cameron Crowe, so i don't reckon it'd have the same appeal. I could be completely wrong though, so i will get around to it eventually.
Vanilla Sky is awful. Tries too hard to be artsy and off beat and winds up unintentionally hilarious at times. Donnie Darko and The Fountain fall into similar categories.

Disagree about Donnie Darko and Vanilla Sky but fuck me, The Fountain is the most pretentious senseless piece of shit i've ever had the misfortune of watching.
3's easy my favourite. Although when he gives the boy the grenade launcher at the end of 4 is amazing.

John Wark's voice was dubbed because the director thought his accent was too strong

I want to teach the world, but not a song.
I need to tell them where they're going wrong:
To trust to serendipity not fate:
To just believe your heart and conjugate.
MurderballEasily pretty much my fave film of all time
I love it
One of my favourite films ever is 10 Things I Hate About you. Doesn't have any particular 'merit' other than being watchable as fuck, and I happen to think it's hilarious. Didn't get half the jokes in it when I was 14 but I reckon it gets funnier with time. Plus, big Heath prances about serenading a bird
Thanks Marc for summing up what I was trying to say and doing it four years ago (Y) I enjoy American Beauty but it seems to think it's a lot more deep and meaningful than what it is. Plus (I'll probably get battered for this) I think Kevin Spacey is one of the most overrated actors of his generation. I'm not saying he's not good, cos obviously he is, but I think there's too much hype around him

Vanilla Sky starts off well, but quickly descends into pretension and ham-handed bullshit. Donnie Darko suffers from the same problem to a lesser extent. I prefer Southland Tales to either, as it gleefully embraces the total lack of conventional story rather than holding any pretensions to profundity.
I absolutely loved The Fountain too. Didn't make a lick of sense though.
