Worst Movie experience - Bilge

I hear you too about "Enemy At the Gates" - good script, but there was too much CGI, and too many foreigners pretending to be Germans and Russians. The German film "Downfall" (Der Untergang) was a far better portrayal of that period. Also while I am at it, the original of "The Thin Red Line" (1964) starring Keir Dullea (who later starred in "2001: A Space Odyssey") was incredibly disappointing for its totally conventional, unimaginative treatment of an absolutely incredible novel about Guadalcanal. It took Terence Malick to finally nail it in 1998. I would love to see his director's cut, given that he left all the footage that included Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman, Bill Pullman, Lukas Haas, Jason Patric, Viggo Mortensen and Mickey Rourke on the cutting room floor.
