And I suppose your attacks on it are pearls of Thomistic reasoning?
Give me a break. If you don't like the film, that's your problem.
It will be around long after you're gone.

That's exactly what Citizen Kane's about.
It's all in the execution, of course.

non-existent...

So will Can't Stop The Music and Xanadu and Plan 9 From Outer Space.
What's your point?

Well, I haven't seen "Avalon" so I don't know whether it's the best
movie of the last 20 years, but at least you give a fair answer to my
question. >> Stay informed about: Worst Film That Won and Best Film Never Nominated |

I'm glad I've pleased *somebody" in this thread.
And I hope that one of these days you'll go out and rent "Avalon."

I'd rather watch Plan 9 than Avalon.

Frankly, I think "Tin Men" is Barry Levinson's best film; even better than
"Diner" and his appearance in "High Anxiety." I don't know what the rest of
you think of it, if you even saw it, but I think "Tin Men" is one of the
best comedies of, well, let's say the last 40 years. I can certainly
imagine people not liking it though, because there are plenty of people who
just don't like Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito. >> Stay informed about: Worst Film That Won and Best Film Never Nominated |
