Maybe that's what you were refering to Jett? It's funny how we can go along with it to a certain degree because it's made to look very realistic.<br><br>If we're allowed to add newer films to this list - how about The Matrix sequels? Reloaded in particular has some spectacular visuals/sequences, but that's about all you can credit it with. Sunshine does deal with deep issues, but the science aspect is completely ridiculous!

If we're allowed to add newer films to this list – how about The Matrix sequels? Reloaded in particular has some spectacular visuals/sequences, but that's about all you can credit it with.

I thought Amelie was excellent, but you could certainly argue it was weaker on story than on style and visuals. Not a fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's style then?

Also, I'm not sure a film looking better than its content is necessarily a bad thing. If we enjoy visual art and photography and good use of color and form, why not enjoy a movie that does these better than anything else? I'll add Hero and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow to this category. Ha, I was going to mention City of Lost Children, so 10 points for beating me.

That doesn't make it overated however - just a film that doesn't appeal to all tastes. As it happens I do like Scorcese's style and rank several of his films as personal favourites. I do understand what you mean however - e.g. I admire 'Raging Bull' more than I actually like it. As I write this it occurs to me that 'The Departed' is a good film but I could be persuaded that it's overated.
