I own Battlefield Earth. Bought it without knowing anything about it (the whole L. Ron Hubbard "agenda"), just thought it might be a decent sci-fi flick. Even after learning more about the movie, I still have to say that I enjoyed it.

Although not on the list, I also own Waterworld and didn't think it was as bad as people made it out to be. Might pick up The Postman too, after reading a number of non-knee-jerk, everybody-says-it-sucks-so-I'll-jump-on-the-bandwagon reviews.

The Postman. I really like this movie. No accounting for taste I guess...

Easy 08-26-03 10:34 AM

I own two. Cleopatra and The Postman. I like them both.

Ditto and ditto. I've seen Hudson, Postman, and Battlefield. Not as bad as their reps, IMO, but not worth owning either.

DVDude! 08-26-03 11:18 PM

None, but I would purchase Howard the Duck if and when it's released on DVD. :)

therecanbeonlyone 08-27-03 12:31 AM

I don't own any of them :banana:

victant 08-27-03 03:28 AM
