Solok · 06-05-2009, 06:19 PM

Can choose more than 1.

Batman1980 · 06-05-2009, 06:21 PM

A Beautiful Mind.

ObiTrentKenobi · 06-05-2009, 06:22 PM

Apollo 13 or Willow

....Worste Ron Howard film... All the rest of them!

OARmaster · 06-05-2009, 06:23 PM

This one is hard. Cocoon, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, Frost/Nixon...hard to choose. I also have a soft spot for Far and Away and Backdraft.

DVDave · 06-05-2009, 06:38 PM

I have hated every single one of Ron Howard's films.

P@t_Mtl · 06-05-2009, 06:39 PM

Willow & Apollo 13 for me

Sussudio · 06-05-2009, 06:39 PM

what's the deal with all these best/worst threads and polls? didn't you guys see the sticky

Rhettroactive · 06-05-2009, 06:40 PM

I didn't see Frost/Nixon on there, which certainly would be one of my top two picks.

I really had it in for Mr. Howard for years. But he's really evolved into a solid director.

Kudos, Mr. Howard!

I voted for Cinderella Man. It ii by far the best film besides A Beautiful Mind. Cinderella Man was under appreciated when it first came out. I thought I would hate it, but by the end of the film I was crying like a baby. Great movie. Top 20 on my all time list.

Really? How can you not like Apollo 13 or Cocoon? To each his own, but that's odd.

JRS03 · 06-05-2009, 07:06 PM

Apollo 13 its not even close on this one.

Apollo 13
A Beautiful Mind (That one brought me to tears)

The Da Vinci Code (Overall, great film. I still can't see why it's so overrated)

Angels & Demons (It's definitely spine-chilling from beginning to end, Howard had the right mind to adapt the book into a film)

sfmarine · 06-05-2009, 07:30 PM

Apollo 13 is a great film! I haven't seen it in a long time. It needs to come onto blu!

The Da Vinci Code/Angels & Demons ~ both different films but are very entertaing. I didn't get involved in that crazy religion anti-film progression towards Howard's films. I watch movies to be entertained and they did just that!

A Beautiful Mind...great story. Very sad but it's a movie that should not be missed, imo.
