I love Hitchcock. But I watched TO CATCH A THIEF the other night. What a meandering, boring romantic comedy. It doesn't know what it wants to be. But good ain't one of them.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

I know this has fans and got loads of praise, but for me it was like a gone-wrong remix of GOODFELLAS. I couldn't stand it.


DJANGO UNCHAINED

ditto above...I know people love it, but for me this was a never ending, pretentious, smug load of pants.


INTOLERABLE CRUELTY

Coen bros have made a few of my all time favourite movies, and while they've made a few I didn't personally like (MILLER'S CROSSING, O BROTHER...) those still had some kind of style and uniqueness. However this one just sucked. -and it looks like the general consensus agrees with me on this one

Rob Reiner directed and produced North.

The Coen Brothers wrote, produced and directed Burn After Reading.

Apparently HITCHCOCK's last film in England is not well thought of: JAMAICA INN (1939).  It was a big success in it's time, but it often makes "worst films of all time" lists.  I've seen it a couple of times, and I like it (though it's casting might be unlikely).  ROBERT NEWTON  MAUREEN O'HARA  CHARLES LAUGHTON ...

I never got a chance to see that one! I love most anything with Charles Laughton!

John Frankenhiemer- who made a lot of good movies, also made a mutant bear film-PROPHECY (1979)

I could easily bring up Lucas and Shyamalan but that's a little easy, eh?

The most common reason for a good director making trash is the production studio interfering with the project.
Forcing directors to make changes they don't want and ultimately taking all control from them.

An easy example for this would be the third Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie.
The studio forced Raimi to shoehorn Venom into the story for some reason and made several other unwanted changes which turned the narrative into a huge mess.

I was trying to think of a bad movie by Kubrick- but I can't. I even liked BARRY LYDON and EYES WIDE SHUT.

I haven't seen it, but what about Lolita? It's beloved by critics but I've heard it was subjected to heavy censorship and Kubrick was unhappy with the finished product.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
