The rest are okay if you're in the proper mood.
Except for Annie Hall, which I hate because of my anti-semitic views.
the ten? did it get funny at some point? cause i turned it off into the fourth one...such a let down. not wet hot american summer enough for me.
I agree Batman isn't as good as everyone remembers. Even though Bale talks kind of funny, Keaton is not the best batman no matter what anyone says.
Why can't I get anyone to watch The Ten? It has Paul Rudd, for chrissake's!
