I've not seen that one, I did enjoy
Sicko though. The grandstanding of hiring a private boat to go to Cuba aside.

Movie sucked!
It's definitely an acquired taste, that's for sure.

I know, I know, but I thought it was boring, not particularly moving or emotional, and it cheated on the "shower" scene in a way that I just do not understand. Wild horses wouldn't make me watch it again.
What?! That's like saying you hate the Godfather.
It's a bad, bad film. Sorry, but it is.

No it's not. It's just not the all-time classic that everyone thought it should be because of the subject matter.

I must admit to never seeing either the Godfather of Schindlers List mostly out of disinterest.

Seconded on the
Godfather trilogy.
I wanted to see
Schindler's List because Liam Neeson is awesome. Still haven't, though.

GK might disagree but I thought Neeson's performance was very good.

Rob Roy is available on Hulu; I've never seen it either. Any opinions?

We watched it the last couple of days of German class, then watched the Pianist (until we found a huge scratch in the disc which wouldn't let us continue). I actually liked Schindlers List better for some sort of inate reason. It just seemed like a better representation of the bleakness then The Pianist. I think filming it in Black and White did the trick...
