I really liked Elephant but I think I watched on a Sunday evening whilst hungover so it fit my mood perfectly.
Gerry did my head in.
"I'm stuck up on this rock"
"Jump down"
"No way!!"
25 minutes later.
"I guess I'll jump now"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................

QED

I wanted to kill myself about half way through.

Gerry, Last Days and Elephant are all great films. Shame on you all.

I think this is worse:

Ha! 'ELephant' and 'Gerry' are two of my very favourite films.

Can I just ask - have I either of yis seen them in the cinema?

Yes! Totally. PURE CINEMA.

I've never been so bowled over leaving a cinema as I have when I saw those three films. I've seen them all twice in the cinema.

I wonder have the people giving out about Van Sant's austere trilogy seen any of them in the cinema? I can imagine them maybe not working so well on a small screen. The sound design in 'elephant' is immense, but this will probably only impact in the cinema.

Every other film mentioned in this thread (excluding a few I haven't seen) are completely and utterly over-rated!

Seen Elephant in the cinema and DVD (second time even more meh), Gerry on DVD.

I retain my right to say they are shit and to go home and watch The Wicker Man later. Retained.

Yes! Totally. PURE CINEMA.

i think:
matrix, star wars: rubbish
donnie darko: good but overrated
van sant films: emperors new clothes. pretentious, vacuous.
lost in translation: lovely
kill bill: substanceless, impressive-looking guff
fear and loathing in las vegas: nicely done, entertaining, flawed and far from gilliam's best
withnail and i: wonderful, perfect

elephant = prolly worst film ive ever seen, and ive seen 'steel'..

 

[evil bandit]

Good shouts on Ferris, Elephant and especially the Nineth Gate but my choice would have to be this

It was just completely ridiculous and once you get over the gore it's just boring as hell.
