That scene still ranks as one of the greatest ever put on film imho. 5'9"???

IIRC, according to a documentary on the man, Kubrick let Ermey ad-lib that scene.

Although possibly futile and certainly subjective, I don't know how you can debate who is the greatest film director of all time and not include the name Stanley Kubrick in the conversation.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Loved it!

Rented the Tale of Despereaux for my son.

Bride wars – Could only stand about 30 mins of this before I went back to my ipod. . . . Avoid at all costs.

Could not agree more - was a total estrogen fest on the flight back from Milan and I was treated to the first 10 minutes of He's Just Not That Into to You (would have been the best of the lot) until they had some problem and stopped that - followed by Confessions of a Shopaholic - which was dreadful like a Lifetime movie but I watched it anyway and then Bride Wars - the worst of the lot - I think I only laster 15 minutes though - Crapola. MLV watched the whole thing and confirmed its crappitude.

Ali G - Indahouse.

I do occasionally find the humor of Cohen funny, but this piece of dreck may have been the worst movie ever.

Vicky Christina Barcelona. - not a bad movie, but just no ending whatsoever. I am not sure if this is just a Woody Allen style of ending, but I enjoyed it up to the end when it just

The Code. Love Morgan Freeman, but this was disappointing. Basically another Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen... without the huge cast.

In Bruges,

Liked the movie a lot.

Glad you did. We gave up on it last week after about 45 minutes. Just not feeling this movie on that night.

I really liked it also.
But it is one of those movies that you have to want to watch.

Reservoir Dogs.

I enjoy the town of Bruges so much, I was going to watch regardless.

Fierce Creatures

Maybe not as intellectually funny as A Fish Called Wanda but a brilliant and criminally overlooked comedy, imo. This was the 5th or so time I've seen it and I laughed out loud at several moments.

Doubt (very good)

OW! MY EAR!

The Hangover. Funny stuff, especially in a shock humor kind of way.

Public Enemies: **

The Hangover...very funny. It is tough to find many movies that make you really laugh out loud throughout the movie - and everyone else in the theater also laughing. I still am partial to Old School & Wedding Crashers for some of these style movies over the past few years, but that could change with repeated watchings.

Defiance (pretty good)
