Well, yes. If the list were in any order, it would be #1. I'm absolutely appalled by that thing.drip wrote:johnson wrote: Innocence of Muslims

I've only seen the 14-minute YouTube cut (which may in fact be the only that exists) but that's enough for me to deem it the most disgusting and idiotic piece of trash I've seen.

Re: Michael Haneke
Yeah, yeah I agree with you and with the most famous advocate of the film, à savoir (that is), Jacques Rivette:leroysghost wrote:Showgirls rules
I had some problems with the film actually (when she's dancing with the guy and he says, but you have your period, it seems too ridiculous, too ridiculous for Verhoeven anyway)I’ve seen it twice and I like it a lot, but I prefer Showgirls (1995), one of the great American films of the last few years. It’s Verhoeven’s best American film and his most personal. In Starship Troopers, he uses various effects to help everything go down smoothly, but he’s totally exposed in Showgirls. It’s the American film that’s closest to his Dutch work. It has great sincerity, and the script is very honest, guileless. It’s so obvious that it was written by Verhoeven himself rather than Mr. Eszterhas, who is nothing. And that actress is amazing! Like every Verhoeven film, it’s very unpleasant: it’s about surviving in a world populated by assholes, and that’s his philosophy. Of all the recent American films that were set in Las Vegas, Showgirls was the only one that was real – take my word for it.I who have never set foot in the place!

Re: Michael Haneke
Perhaps one of our invisible, inscrutable moderators could cut off these last few posts and stick them in a separate "Worst Movies" thread? I assume one exists.

well, i personally think a propaganda movie shouldn't be part of a discussion about feature films.johnson wrote:Well, yes. If the list were in any order, it would be #1. I'm absolutely appalled by that thing.drip wrote:johnson wrote: Innocence of Muslims

Re: Michael Haneke
Sorry, I didn't mean to make it a major part of the discussion. And it's not the only film I named that I think is propagandizing.drip wrote:well, i personally think a propaganda movie shouldn't be part of a discussion about feature films.
I quite agree with Dan; we've gone way off topic.
