I'm so obsessive compulsive I had to start this thread to feel intellectually honest and ethical. If I accidentally posted a review of a Good movie in the Bad Movie section I might actually lose sleep. Sure I could delete it and repost it in the right section - uh - but what if someone read it before I did that and then thought it was a Bad Movie???  :buggedout:

I saw AMERICAN ASTRONAUT many years ago and couldn't quite jive with it, but Lil' Cerberus' review made me curious to revisit it.

I've always had trouble telling the good movies from the bad ones....
(1) I used to think Zardoz was supposed to be a "good" movie because of the runtime, & it had an a list actor in the lead.....
(2) As a kid, I would watch Easy Rider because a kid with long hair & a motorcycle was "supposed to".... I eventually realized I could just listen to cool music & browse through a coffee table book of cool motorcycles....
(3) La Belle Noiseuse.... Can't tell ya a thing about it, aside from four hours of Emmanuelle Béart naked....
(4) Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979).... Some people argue it's the best ever, but I loathed it.... I felt like they added too much stuff, some scenes were too long, and above all, it was way too contemporary, especially that '70s style depressing ending..... Some folks hated the Giggling Guy, but I was indifferent.....
(5) Longtime members probably already know, I'm perhaps the only human being on the planet who loved Timothy Hines version of War Of The Worlds in all four hours of glorious awfulness....
So, yeah, for me, all movies are kinda on the same plain........
