    Field of Dreams is corny, fake, hollow and contrived.

    There I said it.

    I've got your back, Lugs! Not a fan either.

    And I have a similar dislike for The Natural and the hokey cliche-fest that is Hoosiers.

    I thought Independence Day totally sucked.

    Mars Attacks!

    da man,

    I think we might have similar taste. I've only seen 3 flicks on your list, though. I've got some work to do.

    I was just looking at your list and was thinking the same thing. Of the ones you have down that I've seen, the only one I'm not a big fan of is Pretty Woman, but it's not bad. And I'll admit the reason I liked Working Girl was that I was hot for Melanie Griffith and that breathless Marilyn Monroe voice.

    Thank you, big circus, for reminding me about The Shining. I'm watching it right now and Nicholson has gone completely crazy.
