There's more but I haven't seen them (or don't recall if I have).

Ugghh! I dunno what it is about that film ... I've seen clips, and documentaries that talk about it, I recognise homages to it and so on but the idea of sitting through it just makes me want to give up the will to live. To someone who rates it highly that won't make much sense but that's how I feel about it so I doubt I will ever watch it ... I will add it to the list for the poll though Smile

Now THAT is an eminently watchable film and I can't adequately explain why it wasn't on my list ... is now Smile

Indeed ... but it's very funny Smile
