For every movie that made my top 100 there are more than a dozen critical favorites that don't make the cut. Here are the latest movies I've seen that didn't impress me:
Blow-Up
It is better to be a mime than a hedonist.
Rocky
Once every two hundred years a palooka gets a chance.
In the Mood for Love
Mahjong ruins romance.
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Gazpacho saves romance.
Alien
Anything that interrupts Sarandon's stripping is a monster, and needs be destroyed.
Blue Velvet
Teenagers have it too easy nowadays.
Gigi
Attractive rich people sing about their problems.
Seduced and Abandoned
Abuse is okay so long as fat men sweat.
The Killing
A regular Jack the Ripper.
Ran
Teenagers had it too easy back then.
The Circus
Chaplin finds a waif and is put in perilous situations.
Nights of Cabiria
Prostitutes are very trusting.
The Lady Vanishes
British humour so dry its not funny.
The Bicycle Thief
Poor people are desperate, Italian.
The Palm Beach Story
Attractive rich people whine about their problems.
The Earrings of Madame De...
...Gimmick.
Gospel According to St. Matthew
Nothing like the book.
Nosferatu
Coffins move abruptly.
It Happened One Night
I prefer the walls of Jericho in Iron Man.
Open City
The Catholics didn't support those mean Nazis! Honest!
Breathless
Bad people do French things.
Road Warrior
Australia's Umberto D.
Strangers on a Train
Why do people think they're gay?
La Strada
I've seen too many movies with mimes recently...
