I saw it. It wasn't nearly the worst thing I've ever seen. I thnk Battlefield Earth gets that honor. And then the English Patient.

Tishala, I'm just curious... why is The English Patient the 2nd worst thing you've seen?

Yes, the english paient was beyond bad. I remember that Seinfeld episode where elaine was judged so harshly because she hated this movie. Thats how i felt. Everyone thought i was nuts.

I actually saw this movie just this weekend. I really hate movies that liberally use the f-word rather then write a script.

Ugh, the English Patient. I really wanted to like it because of the cast, but what a bore!

Melfie, I'd say for the same reason the Hindenberg or the Titanic were such spectacular disasters: the Titanic wasn't the first boat to sink, but it was so big, grand, and sumptuous that its sinking reached epic proportions. I'd say that same is true for The English Patient. It aimed so high, in such epic proportions, that its banality became the only thing remotely artful about it. Of course, all these things are subjective. I understand that many people liked it. I happened to go see it with friends on its opening weekend, which was also the weekend that Vertigo was rereleased. We wanted to see Vertigo, but we showed up late and we watched E.P. Of my three friends with whom I went, I liked it the most...and it is one of my least favorite films of all time. It made me long to read the postmodern philosophy upon which its ideas are based. And that's saying something.

Fabnsab... I always think of that Seinfeld episode too, when someone says they didn't like The English Patient.
