Movies That I Partially Like

• 2001 -- I only like the first 2/3 of the flick -- the acid sequence at the end sucks
• Citizen Kane -- Exciting, Vivid -- but I'm afraid the middle lags a bit. Excellent Cinematography, though.

Entertaining, Well-Made, yet not necessarily critically-acclaimed movies that I dig

• Silence of the Lambs
• Kafka
• Life of Brian

• Stir of Echoes

• Apollo 13 -- although I hesitate to think that I may have fallen prey here to a NASA PR-effort.

And, Don't Forget Elvis

• King Creole (1958)

Movies Not On My List

Movies I Have Intentionally Omitted

• Apocalypse Now — Joseph Conrad was just as verbose and boring as this bland piece of poo-poo.
• The Deer Hunter — I can't relate . . . and the Russian Roulette scene is unlikely and pointless.
• Touch of Evil — I don't understand why anybody likes this flick. It is the Film Noir shadows? Charlton Heston as a Mexican?
• Trainspotting — Everything about this pretentious movie sucked. I liked it when some of the junkie Gen X characters died. It made me happy.

Movies That I Once Thought Were Cool,
But Now Seem Really Dated:

• The Graduate — It's so "groovy."
• One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest — I just keep thinking the book was better.
• Close Encounters of the Third Kind — This one seems tired and silly. And it has a stupid title.
