Are AI and Minority Report on their way to becoming rediscovered as masterpieces over 2 years ago

For me A.I. was like Boyle’s ‘Sunshine’ insomuch as I didn’t rate them but every time they re-run them on television I find myself returning to them and enjoying them more and more. I even find myself sometimes, quoting or, to be more accurate paraphrasing the line delivered by Jude Law about Dr Know ‘because there’s nothing that he doesn’t’. It’s a slow burner and of course the last 15 minutes are crap in my opinion, kind of like the last 15 minutes of Bicentennial Man (sp.) We don’t really need the arc completed as the theme of unfullfilment is pretty much central to the film. Wouldn’t be suprised if we get a director’s cut one day.

‘Minority Report’ again, I’m cool with. To appreciate it more you can’t really compare it with Blade Runner but it’s more subtle and stylish than ‘Total recall’ which I enjoy for the hell of it.
