I thought A.I. was great, but I really think it would have been much, much better if Kubrick had the chance to direct it.
you're not the only one. i have gone on record on this board a couple of times as being a fan of the movie. i think it is extremely underrated personally. i own it. to be fair, i didn't expect to even watch it much less dig it, but after watching the movie in its entirety i am a big fan.

I love AI and I don't feel a bit ashamed about it.
I love the ing vending machine in the desert. That movie is ridiculous, which is why I like it, too.
I liked the middle of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, but hated the rest of it to the point it actually makes me angry.
The Cell is crap in terms of story and script (and the director pretty much says so on the commentary), but absolutely stunning to look at and is a personal favorite based on visuals alone.
Cool points to Jekka for liking Head.
And cool points to me for writing that sentence.
i enjoyed every minute of it, but that's just me. it doesn't seem like a spielberg flick and is one of my personal favorites from him. the scene where the mom ditches david was brutal. and law's gigolo joe role and the teddy character were cool.
legends of the fall and the cider house rules... should i feel guilty about liking these movies?
no.
Both are great movies.
I've always had a thing for Julia Ormond, so I can't call Legends of The Fall a bad movie.
Cider House Rules is just all sorts of good. Toby Magwires(sp) best performance thus far.
i absolutely ing agree. by far in my opinion.
and julia ormond is very sexy in lotf.
There is a movie called "Far from Home" (no, not the adventures of yellow dog)
One of Drew Barrymore's first movies when she was a hot teenager with giant breasts and still on drugs.
It's one of those cheap cinemax movies you'd see after midnight.
I had the biggest crush on Drew Barrymore for the majority of my adolescence because of it, and can pretty much quote every line.
I highly recommend it.
visa versa
mighty ducks 1
adventures in babysitting
homeward bound
airbud final table
(the one where he enters the world series of poker and the tournament director says "nothin in the rules says a dog cant play poker)
why would anyone be ashamed to like legends of the fall?, thats a tight movie with patriotic overtones
Poison Ivy? And Poison Ivy II is with Alyssa Milano
Julia Ormond is hot in First Knight, too.
Maybe because of the patriotic overtones...
How about Starship Troopers - is it shameful to like that movie?
I repeat this for the more philosophically minded: isn't it odd that movie preference can arouse embarrassment? Or are we just playing a game and faking it (ie. is the embarrassment real)?
I really liked Forest Gump. Good soundtrack too...
Because it's an overwrought, painfully acted, artificially sentimental, steaming pile of crap?
Though... it's a beautifully photographed, overwrought, painfully acted, artificially sentimental, steaming pile of crap that starred Brad Pitt, so I must admit to having owned it for several years.

damn, CF.... artificially sentimental steaming pile of crap? your overly strong opinion of this movie is seriously misguided... it is what it is. and i appreciate every moment of it...
Meh... it's really one of those films that, I think, was made with the right intentions, but just never quite lives up to what it was trying to accomplish.
As for artificially sentimental, I'd go with that description just because it never managed to make me care quite as much as it tried to. In too many areas, it attempts to force a particular emotion on its audience rather than trusting the material enough to be genuinely engaging.
Like I said, I used to own the film and genuinely have a certain affection for the fact that it's at least trying to be something legitimately good (unlike the amount of crap made these days that's trying to do little more than trick the audience into dropping massive loads of money), there's just too much wrong with it for me to call it "good."
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
No movie has ever stuffed more cliches into the dialogue. And I enjoy it every time I see it.
My Fair Lady
The conversation at the Horse Race tickles me to no end.
