The Longest Day (1962)
I would like to nominate this as one of the worst movies ever made
It is clear that the filmmakers were ONLY interested in packing as many movie stars (large and small) into the movie, rather than actually MAKING a movie.so they could put their names on the marquee. The problem with that approach is the the movie watcher becomes distracted by wondering which star will suddenly appear on the screen for no apparent reason. The scene with Richard Burton, which is almost a coda was put in just just so they could show "starring Richard Burton"
A thumpingly boring slog.
To compare it other attempts to dramatize D Day would put this at the bottom of the list........
R.P.M. (1970)
almost certainly one of the worst films ever made
It's amazing the Stanley Kramer was involved in this cliche-ridden mass of swill.
The Natural (1984)
almost certainly one of the worst movies ever made
Almost certainly one of the worst movies ever made
The Twilight Zone: It's a Good Life (1961)
ummmm. it's about McCarthyism
Ummmm. it's about McCarthyism. I can't believe any of the previous reviwers recognized that
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Enemy on the Hill (2011)
massive massive flaw in this episode
Although, overall, this episode was fine, to bring up the name "George Kaplan" early on and then have DiNozzo take 3/4 of the episode to recognize it--given his movie-buffness strains credibility
The Big Chill (1983)
glib and massively dishonest
Glib and massively dishonest--this is my generation and everything about the movie is flalse--see "the Return of the Secaucus Seven instead
Of Mice and Men (1968)
excellent unknown version
We were "assigned" by our English teacher to watch this production when I was in high school. It was my first introduction to Nicole Williamson, who was astonishing as Lenny. It wasn't until I saw him on a talk show about a year later that I realized he was English. Segal was also good as George, although he plays the role as more "frantic" than it is usually played. The entire cast was very good except for the unfortunate attempt by Joey Heatherton to act.
Don Gordon played Curly in this version--I have added this to the database.
The release date which is listed (1970) is wrong, by the way, since I graduated from high school in 1969.
