For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
You didn’t mention Wild Wild West. I like the loveless charactor but couldn’t picture James West as a black man. I disliked I Am Legend but not because of Will Smith. He was stuck with a lousy script and lame creatures.
Hey ruffridyer….Wild Wild West was a huge box office hit but not many people thought it was a great film…..as for I Am Legend….I think this is the third version of the movie…..I enjoyed Charlton Heston’s Omega Man much better than this version….thanks for stopping by.
I absolutely adore Will Smith!!! His movies are all #1 to me :))
Hey Sunshine….thanks for reading one of my oldest pages…..I think this one needs a facelift…..but Will Smith has made one blockbuster after another blockbuster…thanks for stopping by
Legend of Bagger Vance was my all time favorite movie. I’m surprised that it didn’t do so well. I’m still a big Will Smith fan.
luckycharmz…..I agree with you Bagger Vance is a pretty good movie..talk about a cast….but the majority of his fans turned their backs on this movie,
Thanks for the info regarding Will Smith…interesting…
Thanks for checking out my Will Smith page
I really thought Bad Boys II would have been near to the top of that list, never mind love Will smith in what ever movie with the exception of Seven Pounds.
Will Smith is still recovering from Seven Pounds….seems that movie derailed the Will Smith train
