Have you got something against watery epics. I suppose you hated Kevin Costner in Waterworld as well; some people have no taste.
Please say you like The Posidon Adventure (Shelly Winters version)

I liked Waterworld but I did see it dubbed into Turkish so I was just watching the pictures go by.
Poseidon Adventure is a great film.
Noah was utter drivel.

It was documentary style accurate to be fair. Our patch used to neighbour Holmewood, and we had plenty of estates that were very similar. I think that unless you had met every character, and I mean every one, in real life, you couldn't relate to the film, still less "get" the point of it. I loved it for it's tongue in cheek irony that actually mirrored the pathos of 1980s Bradford.

It's a long time since I've seen it, and I might not be able to quote this word for word, but this one exchange made me pee my sides when I heard it -
"Is that all she's getting!"
"What do you mean, I thought I was bloody marvelous?"

Lynch's films feel naturally surreal. I'm also a fan of his art and photography. He's genuinely surreal so even when there's a wtf moment it feels like it's still part of the film's world and not just there to be weird.I see I've missed the Lynch mob...
Though I'm now confused as to which thread I'm in; best or worst films. David Lynch does that to you!
As much as I like Lynch (so wouldn't put this movies in my worst list), I find them at times wilfully perverse so can't put them in my favourite list either. Straight Story was sweet though, almost a little too so.
Mulholland Drive is probably my fave because it is the most accessible/watchable without too many of those wtf moments. And has one 'oh my my' scene!
A lot of other supposedly surreal film makers just seem to put weird stuff in for the sake of it.

Sunshine
God-awful sci fi mess, directed by some bloke who did the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. Rubbish movie that ripped off Alien, 2001 and had more silly science in it than Dr Who & Star Trek put together. Still can't figure out why it suddenly turned into a teen slasher flick part way through with some guy who'd apparently got 100% burns. I very nearly walked out of the cinema over it.

I thought that Sunshine was excellent, up until the last half hour. It's clear that nobody involved had any idea how to end the movie and instead they just gave up and decided it was going to be another Alien. So, in that sense, I agree that it was one of the most disappointing films I've seen.
