of Coppola's most adroitjhly directed and under-rated ones is THE
RAINMAKER, and probably the best adaptation of a Grisham novel.

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

Most moving and, like 2001, probably most prophetic.

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 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

I'll confess: I saw 2001 the first time in Cinerama, in 1968, after
taking a capsule of particularly pure blue Mescaline, a synthesized form

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
read the book

they weren't in a better movie.

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

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.
