OT: Most over-rated movies!
Front-Ranger:
I definitely agree with that! I could never figure out what the attraction was!

I've seen his methods used in many subsequent films, such as "Boy Erased", which I saw 2 days ago, which overused slow-motion and out-of-focus camera work to convey confusion or emotions.

"The New World" and "Munich" were the two other movies I considered seeing one night in Jan. 2006. Instead, I chose "Brokeback Mountain" because the time worked better for my schedule.
I never saw the others.
However, Malick's "Days of Heaven" from 1978 is beautiful. So had fate twisted differently, maybe I'd be hanging out on a "New World" message-board website 12 f'in years later!
Probably not, though. :laugh:

Holiday Inn. I watched it on TCM last night. Meh. ...
I wonder if White Christmas is any better?

Sometimes classics don't hold up as much as we would think.
