> > > This is for all of those people who replied to my post asking what the best movie ever is. I say Pulp Fiction. Anyway, the most irritating part was that one of the most common responses was You've Got Mail. What are you guys thinking? Let me tell you that I say that on an airplane and it was quite possibly the worst movie ever. So, if you agree with me, feel free to express yourself.

> It wasn't the worst movie ever, it actually *had* a plot, a feature which some films lack. However, it certainly treaded on no new ground. It followed a simplistic, overdone formula meant to tug at the heart strings. The whole story is contrived; is there really any doubt to anyone that they *won't* end up together by the end? Anyone who didn't see that coming were probably also quite shocked when the ship sank in 'Titanic'.

Speaking of Titanic, isn't it ironic that the biggest moneymaker of all time wasn't on anyone's best movie list? I mean, back in '98 you couldn't go to the bookstore, turn on the TV, or listen to the radio without being bombarded with documentaries, commercials and Celine Dion (respectively). And now, a year later, it's like 'Titanic who?'

M"I'd defend You've Got Mail, but Sam and famous have already done a good job of that:-)"el
