ive two that seem to be universally touted as masterpieces, clerks and requiem for a dream.

the former, i just couldnt grasp the supposed high brow humor, i guess i must be a bit more dull than i had first thought.

the latter, i can see that it was good at what is was trying to do (create a disturbing and difficult movie to watch), but pardon me if i cannae stand that. if im going to watch the downfall of a person i had better be somewhat entertained (for that reason alone, i <3 fear and loathing).

as for the reverse, i seem to be the only one i know who enjoyed punchdrunk love immensely. i suppose it might have been my state of mind at the time (depressed) but i saw it as a very powerful film

two nitpicks on the above posts:

the last samurai, while very entertaining, was far from very factual, at least in its portayal of the samurai and the respective warlords as proprietors and protectors of japanese heritage, they were largely corrupt, fed off the peasant population and were in the time of the film trying to regain momentum in the struggle for power that they were losing.

second nitpick, Hero wasn't done by Tarentino, though he was the one lighting a fire under mirimax' ass to get it imported.

as a parting jab, Lucky! Like, gosh, what were you thinking. Eat a darn cassadilla napoleon!
