I watched 'Showgirls' last night. And there is no way it falls into the 'so bad it's good' category. It's just simply a good film (in the sense that the film as a product seems to align very well with Verhoeven's intentions).

Worth noting that Welles considered Cagney as the greatest actor of all time. He said that Cagney was completely unreal but at the same time completely truthful in all his performances.

What film do you love that your favourite director absolutely hates? For me it's 'Rebel Without a Cause'. And this is what Orson Welles thought about it "I left the cinema after four reels of Rebel Without a Cause : I get angry just thinking about that film".

I turn 36 today. By this age Welles had made 'Citizen Kane', 'The Magnificent Ambersons,' 'The Stranger', The Lady from Shanghai' and 'Macbeth'. I am choosing to ignore all his stage and theatre work because no one needs that kind of perspective on their birthday.

@coenesqued While deeply disturbing, I differ from most in thinking that the ending is the most disturbing scene (the lumberjack lighting her on fire). Not just the physical violence, but the absolute absence of humanity in his actions (othering in its most violent form).
