geez, i was making a quick joke at that stupid woman's expense.... didn't expect so much backlash. yes, i'll concede that Seven Samurai is clearly not from hollywood, but i was just trying to think of a couple of good movies off the top of my head.
ok... flag of our fathers isn't even out yet.... POTC2 sucked, Superman Returns was decent, but not great. haven't seen the others, so i won't comment on them. but none of the ones you mentioned that i did see come close to some of the classic films like Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood, To Catch a Thief, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Lawrence of Arabia, Roman Holiday etc.
sorry to ruffle so many feathers.

Didn't ruffle my feathers, man. I'm just pointing out that there has always been bad movies, no one remembers them.
