Mulholland Drive. Simply brilliant.
Star Wars Episode III
I think people bunched it in with the other prequel films which I thought were bad, but I thought episode III was a solid film that was worthy of the original trilogy.
Mulholland Drive. Simply brilliant.
It was funny and interesting and unique....Bubba Ho-Tep....
I love movies like Memento. I guess it's not mainstream enough for many.Memento. We saw it with friends. They were in WTF? mode. I was enraptured.

Not a lot of folks liked it when it was released. It had some harsh criticism thrown at it. It is a movie that asks its audience to watch intently and to think, which the general movie going public doesn't want to do- they'd rather have everything spoon-fed to them. It is now considered one of Lynch's finest films and shows up on alot of critic's 'best' lists. Go read some of the comments on Amazon- alot of them just don't 'get it'.Everybody loves that movie.
Don't they ?
They should.
I presume a lot of people didn't like Mulholland Drive, though, due to it's strangeness, and that the ending takes, to say the least, some figuring out. I think the same about Magnolia and Inland Empire, which are both very unusual.I thought most people liked that film? It was a one of the best films of that decade.
I've watched Inland Empire about 8 or 10 times and still don't really understand it. But, I like that in a movie- the enigmatic effect.I presume a lot of people didn't like Mulholland Drive, though, due to it's strangeness, and that the ending takes, to say the least, some figuring out.

Yeah. After one viewing I don't claim to be able to explain it. I'd like to see it again.I've watched Inland Empire about 8 or 10 times and still don't really understand it. But, I like that in a movie- the enigmatic effect.

Gotta admit Laura Dern's death scene was fascinating!Yeah. After one viewing I don't claim to be able to explain it. I'd like to see it again.

I tend to trust Roger Ebert's opinions, which are still available at his website, and I listen to the opinions of other laymen like me. Mostly I look for anything atypical and especially in the thriller genre, which sometimes includes scifi and the supernatural.I guess I need to get out of the critic's echo chamber where that film is adored. It is a great film.
Tree of Life
It was too different from traditional films and a lot of people hated it. I thought it was a great film.
Inception. Alot of people just don't get it. Even Stephen King said it was confusing but he liked it.
