The Godfather (1972)
This film is nothing
This film is very stereotypical and as I am half Italian I feel I have the right to stick up for the crowds of real italians who find this film totally offensive and even boring. This kind of film can lead to racist attitudes in our society as it's portrayal of normal folk is completely over the top (OTT). Marlon Brando received many praises for his performance but there are too many inaccuracies too mention in his accent, never mind his mannerisms.
I watched this film with my friend, his Italian wife and her parents who don't speak English, and get this!!! they fell asleep!!! The greatest movie of all time and they fell asleep!!. I managed to stay awake but it was hard but my friend loved it for some weird reason, but he's an oddball so he doesn't count.
Certainly does not deserve to be numero one, instead may I suggest the princess bride, a classic tale of love and adventure.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Ewan McGregor's dodgy accents ruin films
And I this is enough of grating reason to take away the full and captivating experience of the Star Wars legends. Personally I feel that the main heroes villains should be free from preconceptual baggage and be relatively unknown but very promising actors. Not always possible I know, but Lucas obviously did settle for stars that were at the time, much in fashion.
Felt like I was embarrassed for Lucas when I saw Yoda doing somersaults though, turning him into a spoof character-getting cheap laughs and getting rid of the dignity and mystery. I reckon he should be able to fight, man to troll, but not have him wasting energy with his excessive spinning, creating a spectacle that does not wear well with repeated viewings.
Baby Geniuses (1999)
It makes me hate myself
I rented this movie off sky so that I could cuddle up to my girlfriend on the sofa. She left me two weeks later and I totally blame the film. I'm only writing this now with no real recollection of how the story unfolded,(I thank my cleansing unconscious for that) but a sort of painful residue which has collected within me is there instead. I only remember uncomfortable pain and thinking to myself Christopher?(Lloyd that is), how can you bear to involve yourself with this people??!!! Boo Hoo!!!! I cursed my error of judgement as soon as I saw the first lip-syncing effort, I looked into my then girlfriends eyes and like a dog trying to have a poo while being watched I slurred "Erm..sorry". Please don't watch this, some films are so bad they are good which is true when everyone involved are morons which is not the case in this film, morons mixed with mediocrities, and that only leads to confusion and ups and downs which is infinitely worse.
