I second the motion. I think the bad movie topic has been clubbed to
death. It is quite endless, based on biased opinion (no shortage of
that in the world, is there? :-) ) and generates a lot of duplicate
mail. Besides it's sort of like arguing about angels on the head
of a pin. There is no difinitive proof that any movie is Totally Bad.
Ditto for best movies of all time.

Since I don't want to be accused of spoiling the fun with nothing
better to offer, I propose some topics:

           - general discussion on propriety, desirability,
                      quality, and other ty's  of sequals.
           - discussion of the evolution of themes in movies
                      (i.e. film noir, to western, to 'star wars'
                       to 'barbarian' to god knows what,and what's next?)
           - discussion of good foreign movies (I feel, alas, a not
                       very extensive topic. Flames anyone?)
           - Flames about the movie tastes of the major studios and
                       the great unwashed masses (alias moviegoers)
           - mindless blithering on the topic "Daffy Duck vs Cary Grant:
                       who's better?"

So anyway.......
