The Ten Commandments (1956)
I drudged through it but regretted it afterwards. Kept telling myself it would get better, but it never did.I tapped out 20 minutes into The Irishman.
It looks really good in THE HOBBIT no bullshit. I bought it in 3D and had to admit it's great that way.Peter Jackson so vividly captured the realm of Middle Earth, I get lost in there. And the sound track is the spell that enchants you in.
Once Upon a Time in America uncut is actually worth the time.

I would agree that there is some fantastic stuff in the Hobbit series but the CGI orcs spoil the fun. Plus the film oscillates freely between a campy action film and more serious drama of the LOTR series.It looks really good in THE HOBBIT no bullshit.

I think that sort of works tho in the having-it-on-in-the-background type viewing, where it's just the world washing over you. I remember seeing it the first time and scathingly vilifying it for the ridiculous juxtaposition of male Dwarf and female Elf -- HHHEEEAAATED Smaug -- but after giving it a real shot I went 100% homo for Lee Pace -- he's that gorgeous. All the rest of it fell in after him.I would agree that there is some fantastic stuff in the Hobbit series but the CGI orcs spoil the fun.

That said the entire Smaug encounter was great.
Nope.I know that the Titanic will go on.
