I'm not sure what happened, but nowadays even the crappy ones I find charming. (Need to re-watch CURSE OF JADE SCORPION and put that to the test.) I think it was when I watched CAFE SOCIETY and I said, "This isn't a great FILM but it's worth 90 minutes of my life," and when it was over I had a smile and I said, "Heck, that's all I wanted. I'm satisfied."
I mean, fuck it. Nearly every single film he's made is good enough.

Yeah, I bought a boxset of his 90s-00s stuff, because it was the era that pretty much made me give up on him. So far I've not seen anything that's really blown me away but none of it's been exactly terrible either. Still quite a few films to though. The guy's prolific as fuck!
