v for vendetta ... didn't have a clue what to expect from wachowski brothers, the first matrix was surprisingly good, but the follow-ups, especially the last one, were so disappointing.

and k-pax, i generally like kevin spacey movies, but with this one i wasn't really sure what to expect ...

I agree. In fact I thought of this movie when I first read the topic.

american beauty. I thought it was one of those crappy teenager comedies, so I avoided it for years.

I was so-so on that one. I'd heard so many good things about it, I guess I expected too much. Still, it wasn't bad. Just a little too predictable IMO.

I thought Steve Carrell was great in it, personally.
