The Lawnmower Man is a ridiculous film but I love it. It reminds me of a world where CGI was an exciting new novelty and we all assumed we were a few consoles away from a Virtual Reality headset. I couldn't stick Doubtfire when I was 9, and I doubt I'd think much more of it now.

Yikes. I loved The Ghost Writer. And it's far and away Brosnan's best performances. Polanski really gets Brosnan to control those mannerisms that draw attention to himself in other films.

 

I only saw The Matador once and that was a long time ago but I too thought it was somewhat overrated.
