Withnail & I
Moulin Rouge
Almost anything with Nic Cage or Adam Sandler


Go on, get it off your chest...
Nicolas Cage must have the most hero-to-zero (and back again, and back again, etc) career of any actor.

You feel like killing him - or committing suicide - after ten minutes of Captain Corelli's Mandolin and various others.......

........ but he was also in some superb films: Face/Off, Raising Arizona, Kick-Ass and the brilliant but ludicrously underrated (unknown, in fact) Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

[If it pleases the Court, m'Lud, I also offer Exhibit 'B': Kevin Costner - some utter dross but forgiven due to Field Of Dreams, Dances With Wolves, Thirteen Days and JFK]

Rambo: First Blood is a decent film. Sly can act.

LOtR just isn't my bag.
Naked Gun - terrible humour.
Quantum - Bond stops a guy stealing water? Come on...
Skyfall - Worst Bond film I've ever seen. By a mile. Shame, because it's not Craig - he was mega in Casino Royale.

Fair point.

Point Break is a film I feel a bit silly for liking so much, but I do love it.
