How...how do I choose?

Have to go with Moulin Rouge here

Well, I hate Forrest Gump because I don't think that rewriting history for an idiotic character is clever or poignant or entertaining in any way. Particularly when the movie is pushing some bullshit message. I hate Moulin Rouge because it's loud, obnoxious and dramatically unsatisfying. But at least it doesn't promote really lucky simpletons as heroes. Just imagine what the world would be like if it was run by Forrest Gumps. (Though I can't imagine that I'd like to live in the garish nightmare world of Moulin Rouge with a bunch of karaoke singing lunatics all over the place.)
