Re: Movies You've Tried To Watch Multiple Times, But Couldn't Finish?

I tried watching Rio Bravo about a month ago. I always heard it was one of the best westerns ever made, that Howard Hawks made it because he hated High Noon.

Well, he should have learned more from...

I think Fight Club was easily one of the 10 best films of 1999.

It falls well short of the 10 best of the 90s, at least imo.

I have Se7en as a top 10 of the 90s.

The Rock is an example of a movie star who can hardly be considered having elite acting chops.

A guy like say... Paul Giamatti, is a quality actor but far from a movie star, and never will be.
