    Dances with Wolves

    Wait, I just looked at the totals. How the fuck are there only two votes for Dances With Wolves? Somebody tell me something redeeming about that film.

    It's a goddamn episodic mess with no thread. Melodramatic and cliched as fuck from the script to the score to the cinematography to the lighting. Awful lead actors. Narcissistic direction. Just an empty waste of time on what was the point again, with some lovely "consensual" cultural rape appropriation to top it all off.

    Hate this fuckin' movie like the Dude hates the fuckin' Eagles.
    I will happily vote out Dancing With the Wolves.  Will go do it right now.

    Edit: Also hate the fucking Eagles.
    my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

    Shakespeare in Love
    I remember when Dances came out on VHS and the price was insane, like almost $100. It was near impossible to rent too. I think when we finally got our turn on the list, the copy we rented was shit due to someone else messing up the tape. Took it back and had to wait like another 2 weeks until they got a replacement copy.

    Found this old article which was a fun trip down memory lane.

    Hunt for Red October was one of my favorites as well. Barely makes the 90's, but the best of the Jack Ryan films.
    It's a hopeless situation...
