of Coppola's most adroitjhly directed and under-rated ones is THE

Hi everyone,
My favourite film of all time is one that I always have to defend, and that is
Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Hello everyone,
There are lots of movies that I like that I have to defend (almost
every movie in my collection, ha ha). But one that stands out is
TERROR VISION (1986). Many dismiss it as simply a bad film with
bad acting. But I see it as very tongue-in-cheek. It's supposed to

I am enjoying this discussion.
I always feel the need to defend War of the Worlds (Spielberg's). I think it
is a better and more interesting film than most people give it credit for. I
firmly believe that the entire film is a dream (e.g. Invaders from Mars)- Tom
Cruise's dream. He falls

I agree! This was a another Spielberg film that critics missed the boat on.
The critics crabbed about all of the over-the-top scenes (e.g. Jamie touches
the plane amid a shower of welding sparks and then the pilots salute him) but
that was exactly the point- the second world war as seen

I agree 98.5 % with you on WAR OF THE WORLDS. I remember purists crying
Heresy! when Spielberg announced his plans to remake the Pal classic
(which, of course, just like Spielberg's film, was just an update of the
Welles novel). I thought it was a spectacular film, with good
performances

Never saw this. I'll put it on my Netflix queue. I'm a big fan of Bale,

I agree. Another problem with this movie
I agree that Spielberg's War of the Words and the original theatrical
release of Dune are both worthy of defense. I still like the original
release of Dune better than the subsequent director's cuts. It was
clean, it was direct, it flowed well and it let people who had never

Never mind the son. The daughter has to have been one of the most annoying

Her whiny, high-pitched screaming was one of the many things
Dune is an outstanding movie made from an incredibly complex book
series and considering how difficult it must have been to make a good
screenplay, I think David Lynch did a fabulous job

I've always liked Empire of the Sun too, despite the criticisms levelled at
it that it's too sanitized. One big Spielberg movie I never got into,
though, is Close Encounters - apart from anything else, I just can't take the
ending seriously.
On the other hand I really enjoy Coppola's One
I, too, find One From The Heart one of the most underrated films of all
time. The wife and I pulled out the dvd last 4th of July and the extras are
worth checking out for anyone interested in independent filmmaking.

Arlington Road
Good Will Hunting
