Somewhat related: the only French movie I've ever seen was Danton.
Try EYES WITHOUT A FACE. It was the feel good movie of whatever year it came out.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's the feelgood movie of every year! We watch it every Christmas and Arbor Day.

Danton
Good movie. Worst dubbing job ever.

It really was! I think I wrote a five-page letter during the film.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Not quite movies, but I spent the morning minding the babby whilst JZ slept and poking around on the Avengers Forever website.
It's one of the coolest and most comprehensive show sites ever, and explains all the backstory on how/why Linda Thorson got cast, the great producer putsch of the last season, who Elizabeth Shepard was and with a lot of cool analysis and tidbits.
Sort of like the Buffy guide once was. But more comprehensive.
Damn. The Buffyguide was sooo good at one point.
Still also missing The Eleventh Hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watched some of The Protector. Admittedly, it was the Thai version with no dubbing or subtitles, but you have a long road to hoe to convince me that understanding what they're saying makes the movie significantly better.
I've been told I should have started with disk 2 of the VCD set, but this was from the same guy who didn't see fit to tell us we'd not understand 2/3 of the conversations.
It also features some painfully bad phonetic English which makes you realise how well Jackie Chan and Jet Li were doing.

How the hell did Naomi Watts get first billing in King Kong? By virtue that she could scream louder than any of the leading men?

Well, that and having to have to display emotions other than "RUN AWAY!!!!" to the ping pong ball representing the effects to be named later.

The cynic in me thinks it's because she appeared in all the promotional material in that wet flesh-colored dress. Then again, she's more of a draw as a performer for me than Adrien Brody or Jack Black, and that movie was made pretty close on the heels of her fame from The Ring.
