Yep, child kidnapping and child slavery is cheesy and misguided

Profit is relevant, it was the highest grossing film of 1984 (the 10th highest grossing film of all time at that time), and a PG13 at that, we are not talking about a film heavily reliant on CGI like the Transformer films and their ilk in the new millennium! It was a different era of film making, and funny enough it's easily the earliest film on your list of so called stinkers.

If your definition of a stinker is quite simply that you don't like something, in spite of the financial, rating and critical facts clearly stating otherwise, then that's obviously your prerogative, but I'm sorry but that's a misguided guideline if ever there was one.

Yes all these threads are my lists of what I like and dislike, you seem to be the only one who doesn’t get it

Wow! You really don't like someone calling your definition into question. Look, Beadle, you have called Temple of Doom a stinker, I have proved that it clearly isn't as regards the history of cinema and facts and figures. All you have done is call it one when really you should be putting it on a thread entitled "these are prequels I don't like, which do you like?". Called you on it and you have got your panties in a twist, and knowing you from the old site you will come back with I'm a nut and you put me on block because you don't like your opinion questioned instead of debating in a mature and adult way. You were straight on the defensive, Transformers, WTF?

I do get it, since I have been supporting your poll threads for a while now so it's not like I don't know what you are about madam. I like feisty women anyway, just chill out girl, this is hardly worthy of a touching a nerve situation, blimey!

Anyway, I know you are a noir fan, and in fact I remember talking to you about Blast of Silence and you checked it out the following week

So if you haven't seen them, I recommend The Sniper and I have just watched and enjoyed Armoured Car Robbery. Don't think either would make your stinkers list.

Peace
