Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
This movie would be so great...
...if it wasn't for two scenes that are completely unwatchable...or should I say unlistenable. The Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head scene is...well...maybe it's just me, but that song is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Fast forward. Cut to later in the film for about ten minutes of scat singers singing over several scenes with no dialog whatsoever. Fast forward. Absolutely awful music...unbelievablely grating and bad.
Other than that though...if I could program the DVD to skip those scenes completely...it's a great movie.
The Discovery of Heaven (2001)
Very memorable...but not in a good way.
I can't fathom all the praise that this film has received on this site (or any other for that matter). I saw a screening of this movie months ago and was asked to be in the focus group. After the screening, people were lined up asking to be in the focus group because they wanted to express to the film makers what a waste of plastic the movie is and to suggest that it never be released in the U.S. After the focus group was over, several audience members got together outside the theater to continue talking about the painful experience we had all just been through...a kind of bad movie support group.
This is a terrible film. The performances are phoned in. The plot is absolutely ridiculous. It starts out as a bad romantic comedy and becomes an even worse biblical epic. Embarrassing. Absolute tripe.
