Great movies that actually suck... (to you!)

[rec head]

you mean there was another scene besides the one of S.J's ass?

I knew right away that I was going to like that movie.

I'm a slobbery, Pavlovian mess every time the brown truck rolls down my street. FedEx, not so much.

Well - UPS means I bought something from Amazon where FedEx means I bought something from Rapha. Double flame me.

You mean the next Kim Cattrall?

In defense of Nicholas Cage: Nicolas Cage - IMDb

It appears he will do anything, but there are some very good movies in his resume:

1.Raising Arizona
2.Adaptation
3.Leaving Las Vegas

I als0 really like a bunch of others, kick-ass, rumblefish and wild at heart.

Unforgiven.

and i've liked every other western Eastwood has ever done-back to the tv series.

can't stand N.Cage-he's the perfect psycho, but gets hero roles...

Are we forgetting Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans?

I worked with him for two weeks at the hotel. Drank at least 6 Red Bull's a day.

[WadePatton]

and hey, don't make me come over there and pisseth on your rug you dudes who don't abide dang whaddaya gotta do to get a white ruskie around here?

in defense of above and some similar--it's a good collection of scenes, but sucks as a movie. that's what a lot of "cult" movies are about. some great scenes, but sucketh overall. i've watched scene jack rabbit slim's dozens of times. other parts of that one...not so much. it's a fukkin great scene-even if JT is in it. (named my atb-"five-dollar-shake")

Deer Hunter--I've tried several times, but don't think i've ever watched it all the way through. drinkin' and huntin' just ain't cool.

unless you are hunting after dark and then well guess how many offenses you're committing...

Glengary Glen Ross is one i like and most folks think is stupid.

hey, when you're bored go to youtube and look at the "effin short" versions...good times.

I like that film a lot -- even though I usually tend to find Mamet's writing horribly contrived and unrealistic -- specifically because the performers in that film made the horribly contrived and unrealistic dialogue sound completely sincere.

Being John Malkovich
Royal Tenenbaums
8 1/2

also rank as bad movies. By saying this I've probably voided my BFA and MFA.

Royal Tenenbaums

I'm firmly in the Wes Anderson can do no wrong camp... I like just about everything in his films. I'd throw the Cohen Brothers into the same category.

[zetroc]

Speaking of Travolta, I hate (or at least, really can't stand) Grease. He really has done a lot of garbage. Swordfish? Battlefield Earth? Face Off? Crap, crap and more crap. I almost want to see the new Oliver Stone movie just so I can watch him get stabbed.

Brah. I think Bottle Rocket, Darjeeling Ltd and Mr. Fox were dope. I had a really hard time getting through Rushmore, Royal and Life Aquatic. There weird tension and failure in the movies just made em hard to get through.

So i just started doing the netflix thing. i'm way behind on movies, but shall now catch up a little.

First thing i noticed as i was looking at directors...SAME GUY did three of those that keep popping up here.

Joel Coen: Fargo, Lebowski, O Brother-in that order, plus No Country (haven't seen yet). he's on my short list to catch up on.

but there'll be a lot of MST3K coming thought the mails too...

[Honus]

The Fountain- beautifully shot but ultimately unsatisfying. The director had a great idea for a film but just couldn't pull it off.

Goya's Ghosts- Natalie Portman plays a both a woman and her child. Just terrible...

I'll pretty much watch anything with Sam Rockwell in it. Moon was fantastic. Galaxy Quest is made of awesome. He was even great in Iron Man 2.

[Honus]

Wow, the Big Lebowski, never got it, never knew anyone else felt the same. This is a dead poets, standing on the desk moment for me.

Mine has to be Ghost Busters.

What? WHAT?!?!?!

I don't.... I can't....

Ghostbusters has to be one of the best movies ever. One year a friend of mine said we should be Ghostbusters for Halloween so I made two complete costumes for us in three weeks. A bit over the top- but it was the best Halloween ever. We passed out candy to kids during the Munchkin Masquerade and got mobbed. It was awesome. :)

The Room (2003)
Overrated.

[jeagelman]

Anything by Nicholas Sparks, my wife drags me to them, she spends half the movie crying and tells me how great it was. A great movie is when my gut hurts from laughing.
