[QUOTE=RitzyRae]  
I have never wanted to punch any movie in the cock… ever. I endeavor to find the good and enjoyable in all films; otherwise, it’s just a big waste of time. Why can’t people just deal with plot holes? Is any movie perfect in that regard? And I’m not sure that there \*is \*any such thing as “the. worst. movie. ever.” As Kip tells us, “How can anyone even know that?”  
[/QUOTE]

Because sometimes it’s FUN to pick over movies like that. Ever see _MST3K_?

You wanna good time-travel love story, one that actually kinda makes sense, has good acting and genuine chills ‘n’ thrills? See _Time After Time_. H.G. Wells chases Jack the Ripper to 1970s San Francisco. Trust me - it’s good.

Oh, wow. _Time After Time_. That movie (and the remake of _Cat People_) are responsible for my Malcolm McDowell lust which continues unabated to this day.
