All trolling aside I really like waterworld. Its not 'really good' but its entertaining.


No masterpiece by any means but still a well made and entertaining movie.

I suppose I would like to know what "good" describes in a movie. Because if it's not a "really good" movie, but is entertaining, what's the purpose of a movie? Because isn't the purpose of a movie to entertain?

Art doesn't have a singular purpose.

True Romance - Ignore the title and just watch it, one of the best films ever made.

Christian Slater
Patricia Arquette
James Gandolfini
Dennis Hopper
Christopher Walken
Gary Oldman
Sam Jackson
Chris Penn
Tom Sizemore
Brad Pitt

And it was written by Quentin Tarantino. It's a masterpiece.
