I've only actually seen one Madonna film from start to finish. That was Dick Tracy. Somehow I don't see this one making that list any longer.

her filmography is really sad, hopefully it focuses on her music

First thing that popped into my head was that pretentious, inane mess called A Certain Sacrifice!

I can't wait not to see this

I've never seen Truth Or Dare, but I recall seeing some news reports after it came out, that most of the people that appeared in the film claimed that none of it was spontaneous, and that they all hated doing it.....

In other words, Truth Or Dare was fake.

I for one will be fascinated to find out more about the life of this reclusive and publicity-shy woman of mystery.

So who's gonna play young Madonna? She looks nothing like 'Lucky Star' Madonna.

As odd as it sounds..I actually have fond memories of this one

It was one of those movies that played a lot on HBO when I was younger and had even worse taste in movies then I do now. Granted I haven't watched it since I was like 13 or something-so who knows how I'd feel about it now.

Remember that terrible movie that she did with Willem Dafoe in the '90s? It was the one with that awkward sex scene where she poured hot candle wax on Willem Dafoe, and he was a cop and she was some kind of rich artist or something. I guess I could Google it to find out the name of it, but I'm too busy rearranging my sock drawer right now.

You are correct (I saw it at the $1.00 theater back in the '90s and I still feel ripped off.) It actually sounds a lot more like Basic Instinct (1992) to me. Imagine the shock that I felt at the time when I discovered that most movie critics agreed with me.
