I Heart Huckabees is one of my all-time favourites. But other than that, I have no strong opinions on any of his other movies.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of a lot of his work.

I can't think of a bigger missed opportunity than Amsterdam. On paper you'd never guess that the film would be a steaming pile of shit.
I liked The Fighter, even though it's basically Russell's attempt at Eastwood-style Oscar bait. American Hustle was a lot of fun. But he kind of sucks overall.

Ditto.
Far far worse. I actually enjoyed several moments on Amsterdam.

I have a strong suspicion that I'm going to really like it. And I'm not ready for that RM backlash so I keep putting it off.

I enjoyed Amsterdam. Wasn't anything award worthy, but I thought it was a fun movie.
