Mad Max 1,2 and 3. Big steaming sack of shite.

This is a classic example of what I meant above. When younger they were incredible, but now...

Hat said, when I was younger I also liked waterworld, so I'm not sure I'm a great barometer

I thought they was shite when they come out although i did like Waterworld.

I can see where you're coming from. It's from a very over the top era. Carlitos way is possibly better for me. A lot of movies once revisited can be quite a let down, maybe scarface would be the same for me.

The godfather trilogy, on the other hand, will never get old.

Utter shite, all three of them.

No, now this I will not stand for! What made them shite to you? The stories are fantastic, the acting is great, even the music is excellent.

Di Nero in the second is a fantastic young Vito, even Garcia as sonny was quite good!

I'm not a huge fan of the genre and I found them very slow. Non of the characters were likeable and I found myself not giving a shit what happened to anyone. They bored me.

I can understand that, the genre is a big part of enjoyment. I do quite like the gangster genre, but not overly. I do really like brando, though so maybe I'm biased.

On the waterfront is his best movie in my opinion<br /><br />-- Sat Feb 02, 2013 10:40 pm --<br /><br />Bronson falls into this category, as do any hooligan films, inception, most horror movies, all of the star wars movies, and sadly, upon revisiting, terminator

I'm with you on hooligan and horror films, I won't even attempt to watch them, they just aren't my cup of tea. I do like a bit of sci-fi though and loved the original Star Wars films. The new ones aren't worth a wank and I didn't even bother watching the last one.

I liked Terminator and T2 but the rest were shite.

I know hooligan films are just crass, and horror movies are just so commercialised, they stop being scary. I loved he first two terminstors until I watched them back recently, couldn't get into them. Predator 2 and beyond are utter crap as well.

As for star wars, again I wasn't that bothered about even the originals. But you're right he new ones are terrible. Is there a more wooden actor than the guy who plays Anakin?

That said, I did enjoy Prometheus, and the thin red line, and I know lots of people hated them, so perhaps its me
