Wahlberg was good in Boogie Nights - but probably just being himself at the time, prosthetic nob aside.

Keanu Reeves is self-aware enough to know he's biz...

Martin Freeman is deluded enough to think he's fucking England's De Niro...

Yet another Brit bringing shame on us portraying Americans (Fargo) - maybe to gain revenge for Dick Van Dyke?

(Never watched Mary Poppins btw, seen clips though).

Clive Owen. Pish.

Any that have to live for weeks in character. 

I dunno, he was good in Casualty and that brain film with Rebecca De Mornay.

He was in sommat with that French girl, Marion sommat, that was total shite, another Brit playing an American, terribly.

"There's an iceberg and we're going to crash into it!"

No, you can't climb on here, you must freeze to death...

Shittest film ever - never watched it.

She plays yanks with a shit fake accent.

Name one decent film with her in, one.

Watched sommat with yon man out of The Goonies with her in it, it was rapey and she was crap as usual.

She seemed to be channeling Bugs Bunny when he pretended to be a girl bunny.

Posh bastards, if you're not a posh twat now you're fucked as an actor etc.

Mare of Easttown.

"Heey I'm fwom New Joisieeey"

Wank.

Sean Connery was shite.

Apart from when he was propped up by Michael Caine in 'The Man Who Would Be King'.

One film with Catherine Zeta Jones in her prime, him as her love interest, a bald syrup wearing wife-beating (in reality) scoundrel milkman fucking a 30 odd year old Jones, ludicrous.

That Al Capone film was shite too.

Dance With Wolves was OK, bloated and 'good whitey' stuff, but OK, outacted by a dog though, after that - struggling to name another decent performance from Costner.

JFK was biz.

In fact, overrated directors - Oliver Stone.

Kate Winslett was excellent in The Reader.

There's no one worse than Nicholas Cage is there?  His Italian accent in Capt Correlli's mandolin was worse than Joey's in Friends 

Yep she was.

Mare of east town again excellent

I've got Netflix and a Chromecast, I simply can't be arsed, last time I used it was the Crawley game, in my opinion White British actors have no business portraying Americans, they're shite and sound twangy, I don't watch boxsetty stuff, I might give it (Mare) ten minutes, just to see if she's improved any.

JFK

Shite - too long, stupid plot, made tolerable by Joe Pesci, Kevin Bacon and Tommy Lee Jones.

the doors

Utter wank, terrible, Jim Morrison was a wanker by all accounts but portrayed as a shallow wanker in this - the rest of the band and his missus like an afterthought. The only decent scene being the Dead Rats/Break on Through bit, but it was fiction, never happened.

born on the fourth of july

Tom Cruise overacting as per - 'penis, mom!' - even Willem Dafoe was shite.

snowden

Overlong, wrong casting, boring topic, too close to actual events.

platoon

Best thing about this, Smokey Robinson and a blowback through a rifle barrel - overly sentimental "You weren't there, man!" crap.

 

Youri you’re talking total sense now

Efa

Your film taste is on par with your music taste.

I don't have a music taste, there's shite and good...

Death Metal, Soul, Ska, Detroit Techno, Drum and Bass, Classic Metal, Funk, Classical, New Wave and Post-Punk, Punk, Italo, Disco, Motown, Reggae, Ragga, Trip Hop, Grindcore, Rock n Roll, Chicago House, Hip Hop, Grime, Thrash etc. etc.

If it's good it's good.

I'll make a one man pit to Suffocation then mince around to Sylvester...

I'll even concede shitbags Oasis have about six good songs.

But Oliver Stone is a hack.

He's beans on toast but one square at a time over three hours.

That Snowden film was dogshit, there's a reason he doesn't make many films anymore.

The Doors is one of the worst films ever for a layperson, for a fan of The Doors it's a travesty.

Didn't you write you've never seen Rocky?

And you like Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Jesus.

Clive Owen is awful seems like he is trying to remember his lines in every scene. 
Nicholas Cage - this might sound daft but if you watch a film he is in it feels like you are watching someone act rather than watching the character, just never feels real  

I like Martin Freeman 

Hugh Grant was excellent in The Gentleman so changed my opinion of him a bit, having said that everyone in The Gentleman was brilliant 

Has Mark Ruffalo had a mention as a shit actor ? Stupid mumbling prick.

As a fan it’s great

You said Bob Nobhead Dylan led you to Neil Young, The Doors etc.

And CSN.

The Doors is horrific.

The filum.

And films, jesus, I've seen thousands - I will regret the amount of time spent watching film on my deathbed, you name it I've probably watched it, from utter trite shite like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo to Come and See or Koyaanisqatsi.

My favourite film? North Shore or The Elephant Man.

Oliver Stone just isn't very good, he just has good actors that raise his work a little.

Have to disagree there, I think he's very good, excellent in about a boy and the gentlemen 

Kate Winslet - neither here nor there with her but The Life Of David Gale is a good film 

Nicohlas Cage was good once in Raising Arizona but wins worst actor for me, but he's in a new one called Pig, about a pig farmer who loses his pig, and it's meant to be very good

Overarted directors >? M Night Shyamalen.

One half decent movie 20 years ago, one half decent 5 years ago, dross in between.

Watched one of his t'other day, it was so shite I can't even remember the plot...

Oh aye, now I remember, two kids get sent to their grandparents who their mam fell out with.

Except the grandparents they've never met are two lunatic murderers who've killed their actual old folks.

It was terrible.

But not as bad as The Doors.

"We take drugs to expand our minds - not to escape!"

I'm pretty sure that rebuke from John Densmore to Jim Morrison didn't happen.

In fact Shyamalan's fantasy is more true to life.

Oliver Stone is toss.
