| | Posted: | | | | I thought it would be interesting to have a thread commenting on other people's collections, but instead of 3 best, 3 worst, 3 most needed * I thought it would be interesting to see what people considered to be the... 3 Most Obscure (unheard of/convoluted) 3 Most Mainstream (Widely-known/cliché) 3 Most overrated (Highly praised but undeserving) ...from the collection  of the poster above you. I think after meeting those three criteria, feel free to have a rant at the end of your post about anything to do with that person's collection. * here or here | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) | | | | Last edited: by W0m6at |

| | Posted: | | | | From your list: 3 Most Obscure: Blackfellas Carandiru Mindstorm 3 Most Mainstream: Jurassic Park Batman Edward Scissorhands 3 Most overrated (don't hate cuz of the rate  ): Princess Bride (not as funny as everyone says) Legend (boring) Dune (airight, but overrated nonetheless). Have fun with mine, stick to the owned. There's porn on wishlist and or ordered that would qualify for obscure but this ain't about that. Plus my wishlist and ordered are a secret system I have come up, which I would have to kill to protect the secrets of.  It's just easier to go with one list. | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

| | Posted: | | | | James, I think you missed something - you were supposed to "rate" the collection of the poster before you, not your own! My take on Rory's collection: Most Obscure Bad Taste Doom (Whenever I mention it, everyone goes "it's a movie???") The number 23 (I just don't buy the premise of the plot) Most Mainstream 12 Monkeys The 6th Day The Day After Tomorrow Most overrated 2001: A Space Odyssey (Too long, too boring) Dune (I just don't see the fascination) Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005 version) (It just plain sucks, compared to the original) | | | | The future is here.

3 Most Obscure (titles I was surprised to see)
Slapstick of Another Kind
Naked Space
Convoy
3 Most Mainstream
Det vilde ræs (Smokey and the Bandit)
Indiana Jones og Jagten på den Forsvundne Skat (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
3 Most overrated
Ocean's Eleven (2001)

It's a comedy show, where most of the "action" takes place south of the waistline, if you get my drift...  Quote:

Star Trek: Nemesis (for me, this film is an instant pardon for Star Trek V) Really? I actually think it's great! But then again, we don't all like the same thing... | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |
