Superb list - all would be in my all-time Top 50........ Shawshank would be in my all-time Top 3.

Re: Films you just don't 'get'
so are we now talking films we don't get or has it moved on to films we like?
don't get/can't stand:
the godfather - lots of people love it. i just think it is boring and crap.
titanic - utter shite
evita - i was forced to go watch this in the cinema. left after 10 minutes...
bill & ted blah blah - just thinking about the stupidity gives me a headache
sex in the city - where is the gun?
harry potter - can't get into it..can't read the books either..
butterfly effect - i tried twice to watch this, but no chance..
i mostly agree with the lists being put forward for good films but one film i love and most people seem to hate is Full Metal Jacket. Another one I like which has a bad reputation is Se7en....
the film that has surprised me the most this year as i thought it would be shit, but it was pretty good is Hunger Games..

Best adaptation of Fear And Loathing is the audio version with Harry Dean Stanton. Please download (legally if you will) - it's brilliant... (no one will. shame.)

I've got both Brother and Battle Royale on DVD. Although I enjoyed Hunger Games, it's not something I'd watch again (unlike Battle Royale).

That's the exact same reason I thought it would be shit up front, but was pleasantly surprised that no such thing happened. Vampires are so..last year!
