After Mad Max but before Road Warrior and Gallipoli (which is wonderful) he did a little picture in Australis called Tim. He played an adult man with slight mental retardation (Tim's slow) who falls in love with an older American lady (Piper Laurie). It is both ean excellent drama and an interesting look at working class Australia.
Of couse I never complain if I get to see his Bum.
Worst movie: Tie between Summer City and Attack force Z

Braveheart was bloody and amazing...You forgot the Patriot, though...which is another good one...What Women Want was kinda "eh", Payback was good too...I think I like it when he shoots a lot of people. Lethal Weapon 1 was great, 2 and 3 are good too...Ain't seen the Passion yet...gonna wait on that one....

Actually, he was in the Passion - he nailed Jesus' hand to the cross and he drew the line in the sand when Mary Magdelene was about to get stoned (killed, not high). Absolutely wonderful movie - I don't get all the sensitivity about it, but then again, my skin is pretty thick. I have to call it a tie between all the 'based on a true story' movies: Braveheart, Patriot, We Were Soldiers, and Passion. Who could possibly pick just one? |

I just love Mel Gibson and I've like most of his movies. Now I might be getting senile, but wasn't he also in "Sophie's Choice"? I keep thinking of a movie where he was imprisioned in a cell and she, I believe it was Meryl Streep, would come to visit him in the jail. He had the most exquisite green eyes in that film, they just captured my heart! But he had such a great butt in the Lethal Weapon movies!

I saw a documantary about Mel Gibson and his Catholic Extremist background. His latesr film has offended jews all over the world. I was bought up Catholic and thought the film was unsympathetic to other religions.
Here's my review of each film...
Braveheart:- Smaltsy action movie with an engageing romatic sub lot. Although the battle scenes are compelling, the film is historically innaccuratle. The scene where the Irish attacked the Scotts was true until the moment they dropped their weapons. Not only was this ludicrous, but it was also historically innaccurate. Irish mercenaries fought alongside the English (who have oppressed Ireland for centuries) for money in many battles. Finally, welsh Archers were used in the battle in the film. Welsh people are Celtic, just like the Scotts. There is no way they would go to battle against fellow Celts. Gibson paints a black and white picture of people in this movie which depicts all English people as evil. I despise plenty of what England has done in it's appauling history, but am not small minded enough to beleive that every englsihman is a rapist, murderer and cockney. Another example of someone trying to rewrite history in a populist way through a populist media.
Road Warrior : Excellent movie. a cult classicwith raw acting, great action and breathtaking pace.
6% [ 1 ]
Lethal Weapon (pick a number) : Violence for families. No thanks.
20% [ 3 ]
Conspiracy Theory : Escellent film. Gibson is better when he plays someone who isn't a "stand up" guy, a peoples hero and a rebel with a cause.

Ransom (GIVE ME BACK MY SON!) : Awful.
0% [ 0 ]
Mad Max See Road Warrior.
6% [ 1 ]
Bird On a Wire : Goldie Horne, no thanks.
0% [ 0 ]
What Women Want : Women laughed at this crass take on feminism.
0% [ 0 ]
We were Soldiers : Unseen, I bet it's like Braveheart but in Nam.
