The obnoxious little despot who runs the Home Theater Forum, a site filled with idiocy of the highest order, where "reviewers" mangle English, don't know what they're talking about, etc., has just posted a mini-review of Dog Day Afternoon, a film he loves. That's fine - I love it, too. What is astonishing is that he then lists his four favorite films of ALL TIME (emphasis his and mine). Of ALL TIME, mind you. The list:
Glory (Columbia)
1776 (Columbia)
Dog Day Afternoon (Warner)
Braveheart (Paramount)
Of ALL TIME. Braveheart. Glory. I know it's all subjective, but I mean that list just makes me want to vomit on the ground. Of ALL TIME. This is a guy who admits that prior to DVD he had never seen a classic film. Whatever one may think of Braveheart and Glory (and I don't think much of them), there is something terrible awry if those are one's favorite films of ALL TIME.
