    Just sent through Taz.

    As an aside, seeing films like Babylon and Of Mice and Men on the list, have you ever thought about a list of the worst/cheesiest film cliches? :D

    Not sure I follow, re citing those movies, as there are far cheesier and cliched ones out there. Forrest Gump or Titanic are perfect examples of that, but they are still loved by a lot of people and the cheese is part of that. So, so many across the spectrum, from romcom to horror fall entirely into that. Although they have their flaws (all movies do), they are still worthwhile.

    With Babylon, it's much a love letter to the movies of the era, as it is a total hate letter to the industry, as much as the transition from the hedonism and the shifting societal norms that alone makes it one of my little hills worth fighting for, lol. As for Of Mice and Men, there is only so much it can deviate the roadmap of the Steinbeck book. There are other films that deviate way, way, way more than their source material out there... but even movies like those can still be worth checking out (and occasionally are even better), even if it is nowhere near the author/original source.
