Wait wait wait there are people that hate Willow? That movie is so awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tron:Legacy, which seemed to get a ton of flak on the interwebs(especially the ever present backhanded compliment ‘well, visually it was great but…’).[/quote]
Dude, a LOT of people don’t even know wtf Willow is let alone hate it.
Greystoke - if you like Chris Nolan’s Batman films, this was THE first modern attempt to reinvent a character bloated by age , success, and numerous creative interpretations. It is essentially Tarzan Begins , and there are too many elements in common with Nolan’s reboot to deny that Greystoke was a major, major influence: both feature a rich kid losing his parents (and himself) to tragedy, only to return to a place where he no longer belongs.
I was too distracted by Rick Baker’s brilliant FX work to notice that until now.

I remember when that first came out! I was arguing with my then GF over which film we’d see that night. I wanted to see Tarzan, she didn’t. It got so heated that she started crying, then eventually gave in and we went to see Tarzan. It was SO good that afterwards she apologized and admitted how much she enjoyed it. It is a great film.
EDIT:
By the way, I don’t recall Hoslt’s “Mars: The Bringer of War” as part of the film’s soundtrack!

LOL! They’ll use any old crap in trailers while they’re writing the soundtrack! Holst was probably the best they could come up with at the time!
The mini King Kong moment makes my mascara run every time.

I should’ve asked the question sooner, but what movie would you have watched if she’d had her way?

Actually, I consider a bit of running joke in my own head everytime I mention this film on here now. I mean, after all, I LOVE that film. “Kinda like” doesn’t cover it at all.

Indiana Jones ATTOD. She was a huge Harrison Ford fan.
Not that I didn’t want to see that film, but on THAT particular night, I wanted to see Tarzan.
Sidenote: Maybe not so coincidentally, the reason I broke up with her the following year was because she cheated on me one night with a guy from our gym who reminded me of a big muscular Harrison Ford.
