It opens with an aerial shot of the after effects of an Iowa 1989-like plane crash in a cornfield. It's a brilliant character study from a transcendent Jeff Bridges as a man who comes to question his own mortality after surviving and the drastic steps he takes to bring a distraught Rosie Perez (whatever happened to her, anyway?) out of her funk after surviving the same crash but losing her child. I highly recommend it.

It should be an obvious choice for the list. If you've never seen it, you should hunt it down and watch it.

I must admit I liked it far more than is sensible. Which is to say, of course, a tiny little bit. Not to worry Jake - no such implication was intended.

Take a good chunk of popular modern "art" for example. "Oh...in high school I was voted most likely to be a mental patient, hillbilly or chimpanzee!"

I enjoyed the idea better than the actual production. Ok, it had it’s good moments, but in general I didn’t enjoy the style or content. I enjoyed the idea better than the actual production.

Mostly just because it sucked. If I had a laptop or an iPod w/ video I would at least load the first episode on it. I have neither. I think Snakes on a Plane would have to be on the “worst” list.

I suppose having it on the main screen for all passengers to see would be quite an experience. Maybe we should try to come up with a list of the all time best/worst movies to watch on an airplane. Which of the lists would "Airplane", "Snakes on a Plane", and "Alive" be on? Well, you could just load the first episode of LOST onto your laptop, but I’m guessing that’s not what you had in mind.
