What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004)
We Know it's Not Good...
This film purports to discuss quantum physics seriously, but in a philosophical vein. In reality, it's a two-hour, thinly disguised commercial for the pseudoscientific ravings of J.Z. Knight (better known as the "channeler" of a Cro-Magnon man, "Ramtha") and her so-called "School of Enlightenment".
See the Skeptic's Dictionary (http://skepdic.com/channel.html) for more information about J.Z. Knight and Ramtha.
Do yourself a favor and skip this pathetic mis-infomercial. For a really entertaining and informative exploration of pseudoscience, with the added bonus of punctuation in the title, try Penn & Teller's - Bullsh*t! - The First Season on DVD.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Best thing to come out of Disney Studios in years!
This film evoked in me the awe and wonder I had as a child for Disney Studios animation art, story telling, and fabulous characterizations! Whomever made the decision to tell this story without resort to songs and inane dialog did EXACTLY the right thing! Hopefully this marks the beginning of more wonders from the master studios!
Mirch Masala (1986)
Brilliant!
A complex and beautifully filmed work. The tale is full of pathos, but the experience is completely enriching! Though it's described in some movie guides as a "feminist" film, do not let that categorization deter you from seeing it.
Cromwell (1970)
See this whether or not you're interested in English history...
This film, brilliantly written and acted, is on my "see again and again" list. Worth the time spent just to see Alec Guinness as King Charles, it's also a crash course in the fascinating history of the English Civil War era.
Enjoy!
The Creature Wasn't Nice (1981)
While the movie was terrible, there is one GREAT moment!
This has to be one of the lamest movies ever produced, despite the promise of a winning cast (Cindy Williams, Leslie Neilsen). However, if you can stick it out to about the middle of the film, you will find the cream filling inside the stale cupcake - a memorable song by a forgettable alien. I can still get my husband to throw things at me when I sing the first bar of that song...
