    The debate

    Which is the better movie:

    National Treasure or the Postman

    I am a Cage fan, my roommate is a Costner fan. Both movies are bad, I think National Treasure is much more watchable than postman.

    Discuss.

    National Treasure is the best of these... full of plot holes and very corny and clean but still a fun movie.

    The Postman is truly awful. National Treasure is much more watchable.

    The Postman rules. David Brin wrote one of my favorite sci-fi novels called Earth.

    Postman is arguably the second worst Kevin Costner movie...after WaterWorld. But lets not kid ourselves, both are abortions of movie production, script writing, and acting.

    After paying $7 to see the Postman in the theaters I vowed to never watch a non-Dancing with Wolves Kevin Costner movie in my life. He sucks.

    Natty Treash is good enough for my friends and I to have invented a National Treasure drinking game. But if you're a real Cageophile (and are over the movie linked in my signature), there can be only one- Wicker Man. This is hands down Cage's greatest acting, and possibly the greatest performance of all time.

    At the end of the Postman when everyone is looking around going, "yeah!....yeah!" I wanted to blow my brains out.

    I thought the Postman was gonna redeem itself at the end with a huge battle scene but instead they fight one on one... weakest movie I can recall seein, ever. Not to take away from the suck that is National Treasure...

    Raising Arizona was hilarious.

    Putting Cher and Cage in the same movie, I mean that may be 2 of the ugliest actors to ever be in the same movie together.

    Matchstick Men and Gone in 60 Seconds were good Cage. Maybe not Wicker Men, but still good.

    No love for Red Rock West - where Cage realistically portrays a dumbass?

    i think i must have gotten this video from you. i highly recommend it after a full safety meeting. me and my friends have never laughed so hard. i honestly don't know which is the best part....there are so many. i guess i'd have to go with his first brutal assault on that fat bitchy woman from waterboy.

    greatest performance of all time. i hope he makes a wicker man II.

    The original "Wicker Man" was a great film. This one, not so much.
