Recently a friend – and fellow movie buff – asked me to name my favourite film of all time. After giving my answer- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – I got to thinking about the polar opposite. Films I didn’t like – in fact films I’ve walked out of.
The list isn’t that big and there’s one I remember leaving, but can’t even recall it’s name. Must have left a good impression.
- 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) – Spanish queen with an American accent?
- Nixon (1995) – I fell asleep. It seemed to be recreating his career in real time.
- Bad Lieutenant (1992) – think I walked out. This film had no redeeming features.
Update! Update! I remembered some key elements of the film whose title I’d even forgotten. A quick search at IMDB showed it to be The Rules of Attraction (2002)
