Good Will

Nikki took exception to Good Will Hunting making my over-rated movies list. But I stand by it.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying these are bad movies -- I just don't get their appeal. I readily admit that Citizen Kane did much in the way of progressing cinematic techniques... I just don't think that makes it the best movie ever made, you know? Same with Apocalypse Now -- another boat that left me standing on the shore.

I don't know what to tell you, apart from "I can't accept that something is great just because everyone tells me it is." I kind of like to make those decisions for myself -- which doesn't mean I can explain to anyone's satisfaction exactly how C.H.U.D. made it on my own personal Top 100 list. It just did, okay?
