Movies that would be GREAT, if not for one thing...
Be it one particular scene, one annoying character, the direction, a particular actors performance... what movie is ruined by ONE particular aspect?
For me? 'The 5th Element'. The problem? Chris Tucker.

The Fifth Element is the only thing I like Chris Tucker in.
I think Dead Ringers is dangerously close to a perfect film, except that Geneviève Bujold is an awful actress and I can't imagine her being the object of anyone's desire, which is part of the premise of the movie.

Evidently, Bujold was close to becoming Captain Janeway on "Voyager". Not that that show was anything special... but damn, she was pretty bad.

Geneviève Bujold was much cuter in Brian Depalma's OBSESSION.

110% agree on "The 5th Element". Tucker actually makes a movie I would like into a movie I actually loathe. Just a terrible, terrible character.

Tony Scott is doing his own thing and it's awesome... i really liked 'Domino' for the same reason...
if you pay attention... and get past 'other people don't do it this way' and 'i'm not used to seeing this'... there is real depth to that work Scott is doing...
