I too enjoyed Ang's Hulk.
Sometimes these movies will eventually find an audience, I remember The Fountain (2006) getting slammed and me feeling all alone (I rather enjoyed it), but now I'm seeing a bunch of my movie pals giving 4-stars, even 4.5... so maybe the tide has turned and I'm not so alone after all?
What else? Oh, The Good German, nice ode to Casablanca and a pretty compelling tale - I should watch it again just to see if I still like it as much as I used to, because I was baffled by the low-end reactions to it.
The Man Who Knew Too Little - has this found its audience yet? it should. In defense of it, years ago, I wrote.... "One critic called it "a misguided and terminally unfunny disaster." and Ebert gave it 1 star. So yeah, this was not well received critically nor highly regarded by fans, but I love it, I think it’s a riot. And Bill’s great in it as a clueless guy who thinks he’s playing a part in the “theater of life” but is actually embroiled in an international incident. It’s farce at its finest."
