  1. I would argue that Sex and the City 2 (2010) is way worse than Sex and the City.... ;)

  2. What was that ghastly nonsense with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman from a couple of years ago - Far and Away. Worth the moniker of worst film for Tom Cruise's accent alone.
    Perhaps a list of the worst Irish movies...

  3. I hated Titanic too - I thought it trivialized the tragedy. I'd love to hear more Irish movies you like though. You introduced me to In the Name of the Father, which I thought was amazing (although American produced I believe) and I just saw The Wind that Shakes the Barley which was very good as well.

  4. I think Anne would have wanted you to have put Manhattan in the best list........
