Here Come the Munsters (1995)
Make it stop. Please, somebody, make it stop!
In all my life I have never been so appalled at a film. In my mind this is without any shadow of doubt the very worst ever made. Number 1. Numero Uno.
The acting in it was truly dire, the plot line was ridiculous, the characters were diabolical, the sets were sparse, the 'effects' were what one might expect at a school play, the cameos of the remaining original cast were embarrassing. I have to this date never seen such a senseless waste of film stock and effort. I have probably seen the entire film now thanks to the blessings of repeats on cable but the most I could withstand was 20 minutes straight before either slipping into a coma or beating my head against the wall. If you have the misfortune to see this film in the listings, avoid it at ALL costs. I'm sorry to the makers and actors in this film, truly I am, for leaving such a negative review, but in my humble opinion it should have never been made.
When Elvis shot the television, he was watching this film.

See This!
The first time I saw this film it blew me away. On every other subsequent viewing, it has never failed to amaze me with it's staggering attention to detail. The actors in this film all deserve the recognition of their peers as everyone played their parts flawlessly. For me this film also holds one of my favorite and entertaining character in the Drill Sergeant. This is THE war film you should see. Admittedly it doesn't go as deep as Apocalypse Now(What war film does?) into the psyche of the soldier, however it more than makes up for this in the range of different characters portrayed.
If you like war films, see this. If you like thrillers, see this. If you like action, see this. The list goes on.
And for those of you who live in London, keep an eye out for the old Winalot factory that was used for some of the war scenes.
I'd just like to close by saying:
Excuse me, ma'am. Now what we have here Little Sister, is a magnificent specimen of pure Cinematic History, but it ain't too goddamn beaucoup...
