League of extraordinary gentlemen. I think I liked it mostly for the art direction. I do wish this franchise will get rebooted as a series of streaming movies or something. The source material is fun.
White Chicks
I liked Terry Cruise that was about it.
1000% Monkey Bone with Brendan Fraser.
It’s an absurdist comedy that, while it admittedly doesn’t hit every mark, is a fantastic and extremely fun watch.
I’ve seen it like 3-4 times and the art alone is worth the price of admission.
I’m still waiting for the adventure to continue. Remo Williams was a great pilot that should have set up a series or at least some sequels
In a time where everything is getting a remake/sequel it’s definitely time we give one to Remo Williams. I can’t think of a more deserving movie.
UHF went up against Batman in the summer of 1989. It made only 6 million at the box office and cost 5 million to make. But that film became a cult classic because it was an absolute banger that everyone slept on.
Titan A.E. isn’t great, but for some reason i enjoyed it.
Ditto Battle: Los Angeles
Equilibrium. The ratings are better now but it wasn’t well received at the time. Also, The Village.
Haha, The Village is utterly appalling
Spoiler
I think The Village would’ve worked out better if they had turned out to be time travelers.
Speed Racer (2008, written and directed by the Wachowskis) captured the bizarre energy of the animated series perfectly. I watched the cartoon as a kid, so I “got it”. Apparently, a lot of people didn’t.
Fantastic movie!!
I liked the 2013 Johnny Depp Lone Ranger movie. Apparently nobody else did, though.
i like all of M Night Shyamalan’s movies prior to The Happening. Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water are some of my favorite movies.
The Village is a great example of marketing killing a movie. It was a good film, but the way it was marketed, people were expecting a horror movie, or at least a storyline that centered around scary monsters in the woods. No wonder people were disappointed.
Would you care to make a case for Lady in the Water? I don’t recall a huge amount of that movie, but what’s there is not positive. Admittedly, his gall in writing a character who is destined to save the world through his art, and then casting himself in said role, left a pretty sour taste in my mouth, but I shouldn’t let that affect the other aspects of the film.
yeah i agree there are aspects about LITW that are a bit arrogant (also how the movie critic character died), and the fairy tale backstory is a bit silly. But aside from that I really love the story of Paul Giamatti’s character, and he gives a hell of an acting performance. It’s worh watching just for him. His interactions with all the characters around the apartment complex are also pretty amusing. Jeffrey Wright, Bob Balaban, Bill Irwin, and more.
Signs especially is so good. Really great performances from the core characters. The payoff at the end of all the threads coming together is great. All the criticisms against it are valid, but I still love it.
exactly. I feel like after 6th Sense MNS got pigeonholed as the “twist” guy and that’s all most people judged his movies on, but there’s so much more good stuff going on in them. Even The Happening had some redeeming qualities but that’s when he really started slipping.
Both G.I. Joe movies are my guilty pleasure.
I fucking loved Moonfall, it was spectacular.
If I look at all my favorite movies, it feels like I just love what critics hate.
The worst rated movie (on IMDB) that I love is Steel. I still quote it when I see something unbelievable.
“Well dip me in shit and roll me in breadcrumbs!”
Jennifer’s Body is pretty underrated, was marketed very poorly unfortunately
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Battlefield Earth (2000).
What started as a scientology passion project for John Travolta turned into the best comedy since blazing saddles imo. I feel like it’s a timey wimey sequel to Idiocracy in spirit. The Travolta cyclo trying to bribe man animals with their favorite food (raw rat), thousand year old military equipment working flawlessly with no maintainence, thinking standard gold ingots and gold ore are basically the same, it’s a whole acid trip condensed into whatever the runtime happens to be. It’s a fuckin riot as long as you go into the experience expecting a comedy.
Honestly I couldn’t finish the movie.
The bf and I love to watch shitty movies and laugh but we had to stop this one about an hour in because the dutch angles were giving me motion sickness.
I did say acid trip, and I wasn’t being facetious. It’s the Ron Hubbard signature
You’re so right actually
