Seen the Jim Carrey poll and thought I would do the same for Mel Gibson, I think he has a few good movies and just wanted to hear your thoughts.

I do like the "Lethal Weapon" series, along with The Patrioit, Signs, Ransom, "What A Woman Wants" (I think that's the correct title). Wasn't a fan of Mad Max, and Braveheart didn't appeal to me, so I never saw it, although hear it is good. However,he is a decent actor, and seems to be a downright charming in real life. Let me add too, that I don't have to see all of his movies to know this guy oozes with sex appeal. :p TIS "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

I don't understand why you guys mistake virility with coldness. A girl with a brain will never think you're a sissy just because you get moved by a movie. I'd only object to the specific movie you are moved by, but that's another issue..... I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things.

It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

On the other hand, I hated his "what women want". Signs was OK. Still to see (except "we were soldiers") the movies you listed there including braveheart
