Is that the terrible Russell Crowe movie about old navy warships?

I honestly didn't think it was that bad, and at least worth watching once if not repeatedly.

It is a great movie but very slow and decisive direction while being very technical and meticulous; in comparison if Pirates of the Caribbean is an action movie then Master and Command, Far Side of the World, is a fucking documentary.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a Coen Brothers movie so it's automatically win, but I felt it wasn't up to their standards, still a great flick.

Never seen Major League and I'm not a huge Comedies fan unless it's satirical or Coen Brothers; only other comedies I even own are Road Trip, Old School, and the Hangover.

Tombstone is amazing no doubt, but I'm not a Westerns fan either, or I'd include Sergio Leone films like Once Upon a Time in the West and his Spaghetti Westerns masterpieces especially The Man with No Name trilogy. I'd also include both the original 3:10 to Yuma and remake, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Open Range, True Grit (the only role John Wayne ever won an Oscar for performing), and Unforgiven which I thought was Clint Eastwood flexing his ability as not only an actor but director.

My list lacks Comedies and Westerns, and if you want some good films from those genres I can't offer much.

I've seen Alice, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and parts of his Stanley Kubrick biopic, but didn't really find anything breathtaking about them. Alice was very surreal, he animates the characters so well but the plot and satire I really found uninteresting. He's very good with characters and relationships similar to Sofia Coppola is in Lost in Translation, which is what I found best about Vicky Cristina Barcelona however.

and Scarlett Johansson is hot as hell!
