I posted a reply to this thread a while back. I've got another one for you.

THE WICKER MAN :yawn:

This film was recently released on DVD and the critics went wild over it. It apparently is the best horror film ever to come from Britain. Apparently.

Even though it is some 30 years old, I bought it based on the critics' comments. After all, it starred Christopher Lee & Edward Woodward - 2 respected actors.

TOTAL LOAD OF TOSH!!!

This is the best we could do, while the US knocked out such classics as The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby at around the same time? God help us!

Has anyone else sat through this rubbish? I would love to know if they agree with me.

Cheers everyone, I feel better now.

Signs was a complete let down in my opinion

More on topic ... I would have to agree with the person who mentioned Gangs of New York. I actually fell asleep in the theater (I woke back up, unfortunately). It was around 3 in the afternoon! :sleep:
