My dog LOVES Jim Carey. Love loves loves him. I think it's the whole melodramatic, large moves and crazy faces!

I like them both

I think you hit the nail on the head by saying they are 'marmite people'

My wife LOVES them both!

Ditto. The Truman Show is a film I find incredibly emotive for some reason.

I really, really loved Bruce almighty, and I'm not a Carey fan at all!

Sorry but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was drivel. Couldn't work out what the hell was going on and was bored to tears anyway. Got about half way through and decided I didn't want to waste another hour of my life

Hated Blair Witch, one of only two films I've ever seen it in Leicester Square too.

Cloverfield the more recent one in a similar style was slightly better but still no-where near RTs 77% (more like 7.7%). And yet Angels and Demons which I personally liked gets 37%.

The only movie I can think of is Atonement, but I guess that is because its a chick flick. Oh and Harry Potter. Loved LOTR and this is just second rate.

Lost in translation is one of the very few films that have bored me to sleep, another one is The Terminal. I'm sure there were good bits but i was comatose from the bits in between. Also Brokeback Mountain, what was all the fuss about? BORING. Harry Potter was ruined for me by sub-standard acting.
