I remember liking Cape Fear when I saw it 15 years ago.
Darkman is pretty cool, maybe the only reason I don't completely write off Sam Raimi.
Superman Returns is a pretty good flick and I'm glad more people have realized it after Man of Steel came out.

Cape Fear: Awesome and underrated. Not particularly deep, but stylistically awesome and well-told with a really memorable turn from Robert De Niro. A
Darkman: Haven't seen it. Looks neat.
Superman Returns: It's been a while. I think the movie looks good and is generally more thoughtful than it gets credit for being, but it's also kind of a chore to sit through. C

Cape Fear - never really was interested
Darkman - I liked it - it has its flaws but it also has a lot of flavor to it
Superman Returns - Horrible mess. Should not have been a kid, Spacey could have been a better Lex, and how the fuck did he pick up an entire island of kryptonite when he was useless when he was on top of it - Yellow sun or not - it makes no sense

Hijacking this for a brief moment as it seems to foster discussion, but am I the only one who thinks Caddyshack is a piece of shit? Considering how it's some comedy staple of the 80s it's hardly funny.

Considering how it's some comedy staple of the 80s it's hardly funny. It has a couple good moments, so I don't think I'd go so far as to call it a "piece of shit," but I'm not a fan either. |

I like "Caddyshack" a lot, I think it's hilarious and well done.

"Stripes" is ok, but yeah nothing special compared to the work they'd do after.

This thread is too cool to die. More people should share their opinions.

I agree, this is a great idea.
Groundhog Day - Hilarious, human, and a film you know is good when it's repetition is the strong point. Very high 8/10
Strangers on a Train - Very thrilling Hitchcock and features a great mirror shot after the carnival sequence. A little silly when the guy is playing tennis and playing against time, but one of Hitchcock's best. Very high 8/10
Spartacus - Even when a Kubrick film isn't Kubrick it's still a spectacle. Great performances, great set pieces, and of course the forever quotable ending. Kubrick made much better films, but this demonstrated to everyone that he could handle anything. Very high 8/10

1. Batman (1989): It may go against the lore in a few places, but god damn if this isn't a well-crafted and exciting adventure film. The production design is excellent, Keaton is a great Batman, Nicholson is a great Joker, the film is loaded with awesome scenes and it all builds to an exciting finale. A
2. Diamonds are Forever: Terrible. A complete mess with a laughable villain, annoying Bond girl, and on the whole just dull. Slight credit for the elevator fight scene and the theme song, which is one of the best. D-
3. Titanic: Amazing production values clash with one dimensional characters and storylines. Also, the entire framing device is unnecessary and time consuming. B+
