Swiss Family Robinson -- probably b/c the family whooped up on a band of pirates. I think that goes to show how easily pirates can be defeated. Compare that to The last samurai and you'll notice it took a whole army of people with super machine guns to beat them and samurais are nothing compared to ninjas

Sideways for me as well...movie didnt look to interesting but once it started it was a blast. I only gave it a viewing just because where it was filmed is where Im from. Movie was surprisingly funny.

I'm with you on Fight Club. Didn't know anything about it, save for Brad Pitt in underground fighting clubs. When I heard the rules "First rule, you do not talk about fight club" instead of "the first rule, there are no rules" like most bad action films. That's when I thought the movie might be different.

Didn't a group of samuri own a group of ninjas in that?

Actually I think it was pretty much equal casualties on both sides ;)

Touche. But, Tom and the leader guy were still alive, so samurai > ninja.

Sooooo funny.

EDIT: Basically anything with Paul Giamatti. I just recently learned of his awesomeness.
I second that. Duets was great. Made me want to karaoke. Bad news is that I can actually sing.. Prolly as good as Huey.
