Someone at work keeps telling me straight faced that White Chicks is one of their favourite films. This is what happens when you work in a supermarket.

Particularly when we can probably hazard a guess that the final two will be Predator and Die Hard.

Oh and White Chicks.

Only joking.
Haven’t seen White Chicks but it sounds awful so I’ll vote for that.

It shouldn't be an issue, if you remember, i used to run Fantasy F1 on ONM/SONM and that always lasted from February/March to November.

Ghost in the Shell. Possibly a controversial opinion but I’ve always thought it was incredibly overrated. I always found the fact that the main character is naked most of the time hard to take seriously.

You can leave your opinions on your hate of critically acclaimed films til later.

White Chicks is the obvious candidate to go.

This. It's an early target for me.

If I was more familiar with the manga then I may have appreciated the film more, but then that didn't stop me thoroughly enjoying Akira.

ROTK certainly shouldn't be on this list but I'll be taking aim at Fellowship before ROTK personally.

She isn't actually naked, she's wearing a flesh coloured body suit that has optical camouflage, also she's a cyborg and doesn't really feel the need to cover up (no naughty bits) - this is explored in the diving scene where despite this fact, the character Batou averts his gaze when she gets changed in front of him. another scene sees the same character put a jacket round her shoulders even though she can't actually feel cold.
