RonJeremy Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I forgot about "KingPin"! That movie kills me everytime I watch it...that opening sequence with Woody H. in those white polyester pants doing the splits while his bowling ball is spinning in place in the middle of the lane...classic!! :laugh: Because of this thread I re-watched Old School last night....I figured out why I like it...I have TOO much in common with "Frank the Tank"...:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gibber Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I thought signs was a good movie as well, although the ending was pretty stupid. Sounds like another alien movie I just saw.... But for guilty pleasure movies - White Chicks Harold and Kumar Dude Where's my car ( I thought that they were planning a sequel for this one. And if any of you have the dvd the Actors commentary is hilarious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartskins Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Riggo--good call on Dark City. I have that movie on DVD and watch it every so often. It's a really cool movie. Gattaca is also a movie that I really like that a lot of people don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJWatson3 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 in no particular order: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (one of the best movies to come out in ages IMO) Truman Show (no, it's not a jim carrey thing) Rushmore Dr. Zhivago Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory edit: my bad, the thread title and what you ask in the first post are different questions. most of the movies here were probably well received by critics. as for movies that were supposed to suck and i loved....: Joe Dirt- (it's pronounced "Deer-Tay") is a great movie. i laughed my ass off! Gods and Generals- i love Civil War history and thought this was great. check out these poor reviews: http://www.critics.com/g/godsandgenerals.htm Best of the Best- wow, Eric Roberts makes an appearance... Red Dawn- the first PG-13 movie ever! Waterworld- One of Dennis Hopper's best roles (can't touch Blue Velvet though!), a great mix of action and humor. the Valdez!

So cheers to both! Here is one I have seen only a few times but you guys might like too: Kafka. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102181/ Clue was freakn' funny. "I am you're singing telegram!"

Baculus Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 1. Starship Troopers - The book is so much better - an small armoured unit with tons of weapons and battlefield nukes - but I watch the movie every time it is on. 2. Conan the Destroyer: It's Arnold...swinging a sword and smiting the bad guys. 3. The Postman: It reminds me of a western film, with a flawed hero and a bad guy that gets his dues.

My mother and I were surprised by the Postman. It wasn't that bad(other than Costner's self-aggrandizement through choice roles.) What I found interesting is that I agreed with some of the rhetoric that the villain used. The problem is, as is often the case, that his rhetoric was only meant to justify his rule and his depredations. IT was taken to a fascist extreme. But he did properly diagnose some of the problems the 'past society' faced(meaning us.) But I did like the Postman, as it also touched on what makes our identity as Americans and the importance of accepting that identity and the heritage, lest we be scattered to the winds like the Postman's survivors.

Baculus Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I actually like a lot of Costner's movies. He isn't the best actor - rather wooden at times - but he does the trick, and the movies are sometimes epic in scale. The funny thing is, I remember thinking, "You know, if this guy wasn't rather malicious in his ways, he may be a good leader." Like you said, he identified some of the problems with society, but he was selfish, tyrannical and a racist to boot. I loved the feel and the atmosphere of the Postman. The scenery in the film was great, too, and well filmed. Also, the movie demonstrates that you sometimes don't know what you have, namely, a nation, until you are missing it and do not have it anymore.

PCS Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Okay,(Extreme break ). Movie I've been watching for the past few hours and still watching, ( hell the thing is 4 hours). Gettysburg. Good reviews I think but bad at the box office. Great movie and once I start watching it, hard to stop. That battle on Little Round top was awsome. And the final battle, "Pickett's Charge", wow. Okay. Back to couch and movie. :yawnee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much enjoyed King Arthur as well, of course I enjoyed it because it was probably the worst movie ever made. Ok i take that back, Battlefield Earth was definently the most pathetic excuse for a movie ever made. Usually, like King Arthur, I like watching vey bad movies for comedy but that crap jeeeeeezzzz... sooooo freaking retarded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
