Ok Dante! Illd hand it to you for those Willis films and the glover non action films. There are some good ones there. The Player was excellent.

As far as your best films that also won academy awards, I see your point. Some good ones do slip through all the political correct voting system that generally results in mediocre middle-of-the-road stuff. I also notice that these are generally older films, before the whole voting system became so much of a hollywood insider popularity contest. There have been some great hollywood movies for sure, but they are very overrated compared to the European offerings that are often ignored and generally have much more depth.

Disclaimer: All people should ignore my preferences. I havent had time to watch movies for about 10 years, and those i see are usually on an airplane...

Thanks for reminding about that wonderful Plan 9 movie. Now if you could only identify those ones i couldnt remember on the "Best" thread. Ive noted down your ist post.. you sound like you have the same sort of preferences as me, and if i ever get to watch movies without a meal tray in front of me with tinny headphones on a bumpy plane, I will remember them!

Funny you mentioned Star Wars. Nobody else belives me except my partner at the time, but that really did physically put me to sleep! Had been working very hard for that week and as soon as i saw that plush seat I just went all drowsy after 10 mins and woke up 10 minutes before the end, looking at people who were laughing and pointing at me...
