What movie, that you finally saw after months or years of meaning to getting around to, were you most disappointed in?

"When Harry Met Sally" - I've loved the soundtrack forever, but had never seen the movie. Over the holidays, I finally had a chance to see it, and was profoundly disappointed by it. It wasn't all that funny, and it just plodded along.

Pretty Woman
Such hype. Such advertising.
Such crap.

Oh yes, I almost forgot:

Fatal Attraction

Ugh.

Decline of the American Empire (it's Canadian! it's clever! it's crap!) and Topsy Turvy which is long and boring and utterly unlike anything else Mike Leigh has done.

Pretty much any modern chick flick. My friends all rave about them, then when I see them, I want to vomit and stab my eyes out.

I couldn't get into North by Northwest. I even like Cary Grant, and I like the saturated technicolor of that era, and I like Hitchcock, and I like Martin Landau. But I just didn't care, and after Rear Window and Rope and Psycho and Vertigo and even Strangers on a Train, it let me down.

Basic Instinct.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
