People saying Enemy At The Gates: are you actually serious?! It's one of the worst films I've ever seen...

I quite liked it, I don't think it would be in my top 5 or even top 10 but I have watched it at least 5 or 6 times. I like the whole lone sniper thing, I can't think of any other decent ones.
 
Ooooh.... 5....
