What!? This is one of the classics of the 1990ies! It works on so many levels, even though it's spelling things out for us at times. Robert Duvall is such a fine actor. I just love to see watch him on the screen. He doesn't really have to do much, just run around and talk a little.

I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies in general, though can understand their 'place' in the movie/life rubric and why people would want to see them. But there's something about Sleepless in Seattle particularly that really pushes my buttons, I can't really put my finger completely on it. It reaches beyond Hanks' mewling for his departed wife (usually, they at least try to be more subtle about that level of audience-manipulation factor in the scripts) and even moreso that annoying little kid who instinctively just...knows!!! who is right for his dad and will sabotage anything/anyone that doesn't fit The Plan...to unite his Dad with a woman from some other part of the country whom neither has met.
It's not just that I find the movie's sentiment exceptionally false, even for a romantic comedy, but more that what it's holding up as an ideal for a relationship...that you should "just know" (by instinct or fate or "magic") who the right person is that's "meant for you", and that forming a healthy relationship doesn't require work, trial and error, and substantial emotional investment and constant communication to maintain once you think you have found the right person...it seems to me a rather harmful message. I find it mind-boggling that anyone would be *touched* by the story after having seen it rather than insulted and slightly disturbed.

People are dissing a lot of mediocre and flawed movies but missing out the real dreck, such as:
Batman & Robin (Arnie: "they won't put me in the cooler")The General's Daughter (another godawful Travolta thing)An Alan Smithee MovieK-Pax (Spacey smugfest that even Jeff Bridged couldn't redeem)BeachesMrs Doubtfire (travesty of a fine kids book. Anne Fine was not happy)
I was going to include The John Denver Story but it's actually quite funny for the relentlessly chirpy lead actor and his hair.

HAHAHA. Brilliant!
Aw, c'mon - they weren't cliches in fucking 1924!
But that's my only comment regarding the dozen-or-so above films that I like. My choice for worst:
"Crash" (wurst movie I ever paid money to see!) may have turned me off Cronenberg (& R. Arquette for that matter) forever - and I liked everything previous. Never woulda believed that any film could be repellent, unbelievable and deadly dull all at once - a near-impossible combination! - so at least I'll give him credit for that.2nd würst $ layout: "Howard The Duck", and in fact EVERYTHING w/George Lucas's name on it after, oh, 1981 is a contenda. And every movie in which Michael Douglas plays an executive. And the aforementioned "Con Air" - Has there ever been a worse film w/as many usually dependable actors? (No.)
