One of about Eighteen of my TOP TEN Most Disappointing Films of All Time Lists

Titanic (or, as I like to call it, "Tit and Ick") (DiCaprio version only). It proved, once again, Hollywood can convince the public of anything long enough to rake in the cash & run to the bank shaking their heads and laughing.

The Gods Must be Crazy - Pat and I sat in the theater surrounded by people laughing as though they thought something was funny or witty or insightful. My eyebrows went up and down, my eyes looked from side to side. I felt like I was in an asylum.

Liquid Sky - The dumbest, most pretentious, new wave/punk, nihilist batch of useless crap ever produced. It reminded me of another film with a similar 'tude - "Mysterious Planet" (animated, 1960's, French).

Magical Mystery Tour - Genius is not created from wealth. The Beatles, at whatever level of involvement they had in this poorly made piece of "Merry Prankster" wannabee psychedelic spin-off jerk-off gotta-see-it-
STONED crap, left an embarrassing pile of residue to prove no one is always right. Simple stated, it was made because it could be made.

The Life of Emile Zola - This should've been interesting! How do you take an interesting writer and turn him into a piece of old play-dough embedded with crumbs and random hairs found under the sofa?

West Side Story - Don't even get me started on NYC "teenaged toughs" who wear leotards and twirl their way to back alley gang "rumbles". THIS may be THE musical that caused me to realize musicals are a ridiculous art form... lower than mimes... lower than .... flea circuses... musicals, especially STAGE musicals, are the lowest.

My Fair Lady - See above.

Arthur - Two words: Dudley, Moore.

The King and I - See My Fair Lady.

Mrs. Doubtfire - See The Gods Must be Crazy but take it out of the "art theater" and put it in the mall octiplex.

FUTURES, established in 1990, specializes in the last 100 years of investment level high style furnishings, fine mid range collectibles, and profoundly low class kitsch.
