Not the best movie in the world, but it is legitimately funny. It does not show the American's attitudes to Europe in a good light, and in places it's so spectacularly inaccurate that it adds to the joke. The best joke in the movie IMO is when Rade Šerbedžija (Boris the Blade from Snatch) turns up the second time... But I won't give it away. Some people say this is superior to Road Trip. I disagree, that movie has a certain place in my heart. I can see why people like this, but I doubt I'll rush to revisit it.

The Quick and the Dead 1995
I've seen this before and I knew it was good but...
Watching it in HD on Netflix just brought home how genuinely great this movie is. So many masterful and beautiful shots, it tells a story in a clearer and more enjoyable way than any story with this number of characters has any right to do. OK so the overall plot may not be the most realistic Western tale, but it's so much fun, and it has all the dark…
