I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.
Who’s your favorite little rascal? Is it alfalfa? Or SPANKY?
I never got that as a kid lol
Tron: Legacy
Also Ready Player One. I like the movie where the person go into the computer :)

Have I got an MST3K for you then… Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
“Mother… my nuts.”
Lol, I really like premise too. It can be done better, tho.
That’s why I support all sorts of sci-fi that is complete garbage. I want the genre to thrive and if we stop showing up Hollywood stops giving money.
It’s a work of art.
A simple tropey story to hang some amazing visual and aural art off.
I watch it often.
Give me the soundtrack, that’s all I need.
Love it. Sad Daft Punk may not release anymore music.
Wait, people dislike Tron? I had no idea
I’ve watched it when I was younger a couple of times but for me personally it was just a movie I watched amd the idea of rewatching it feels boring to me
The Daft Punk soundtrack against the hyper-electronic visuals is a fantastic blend for the senses.
Titan A.E
Grandma’s Boy
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Dude I fuckkkkking Loved Titan AE. Such a good movie for its time when adult cartoons weren’t everywhere. Cartoons at the time were all hand hold-y and made for kids; it was such a breath of fresh air.
Well, I believe Pixar was around, but this was a great scifi epic, too, with a fantastic soundtrack, cast, and just everything. I too adore it to death. Long live Planet Bob.
Haven’t seen Titan A.E. in a long time. Great film. Definitely need to rewatch it.
Grandma’s boy has a really high rating for a comedy. And for good reason. I loved it.
For horror, 6+ is great, comedy generally 7+. Harder to make everyone laugh or be scared.
It has a 15% critic rating on RT.
6.9 on IMDb. Hmm.
Well, good, at least everyone isn’t completely insane.
Lincoln fucking rocks!
No, that was the lame one by some hack, that didn’t even have any vampires in it. This was the true masterpiece.

I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/league_of_extraordinary_gentlemen
A lot of people were confused about Dorian Gray, but adding him was pretty inspired.
Watched it not long ago. Didn’t realize the people rating it have no appreciation for decent movies.
It wasn’t phenomenal by any means but it was quite entertaining for the duration of it.
Surprised it hasn’t come back as a streaming channel series of films like “Knives Out”. It’s got a lot of potential.
I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It is a pretty mediocre movie overall, but it is just a lot of fun and I have watched it a dozen times.
Definitely not a 16%'er.
For critics, yeah I think it is 16%er but that is because critics are looking for different things in movies than the audience who wanted to see the movie.
I remember screening league of extraordinary gentleman and all I could think is it was probably not for me. Not to say someone else wouldn’t like it. I feel like not everything should be rated based on its wide spread appeal.
I don’t disagree that it’s a terrible movie, it’s just a terrible movie that I happened to really like.
I absolutely enjoy this movie as well! Nemo kicking ass is a joy to watch
Breakfast of Champions - I don’t care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.
Mystery Men - Again, I don’t care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.
Titan AE
The female version of Ghostbusters.
Zardoz.
Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.
I do love hackers.
Mystery Men & Hackers are among my guilty pleasures.
The girl ghost busters was rated pretty good though, wasn’t it?
deleted by creator
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Yes it’s utterly ridiculous. I don’t care, it’s still a masterpiece of absurdity to me. That 13% on RT is a shame.
Also how has it been 23 years since its release.
That movie rules. Shaolin Soccer is also pretty good.
You’re thinking of Kung Fu Hustle, which is brilliant in every way.
Yes, that’s the one! Now I guess I have to watch Kung Pow as well.
Shaolin Soccer is the greatest masterpiece ever created with film.
The mistreatment of the female lead was a little too over the top, but otherwise 10/10 good film
My girlfriend got me plastered and showed me this fever dream of a movie. 10/10 experience
Kung Fu Hustle is Kung Pow, but good.
Hell yea!
Tiger
Bird
I’m sure on some planet this movie is impressive, but its weak link is: this is Earth.
my answer for this is always BASEketball
one of the funniest movies of all time yet only has 41% on RT
I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times, I’m outta here dude.
I hear your sister’s going out with Squeak!
Dude.
Dragonheart (1996)
Godzilla (1998)
Aeon Flux (2005)
Next (2007) - thought it was funny
3 Ninjas (1992) - classic
Oh man I loved Dragonheart as a kid! I haven’t seen it in ages! Guess I know what I’m watching tonight!
Love to spark a Dragonheart watch! :D
3 ninjas absolutely rocked. Especially when they went to Japan, they played a song during the montage training scene that sounded like Blondie’s rapture. Loved that movie growing up.
Me too! “Rocky loves… Emily… Rocky loves! Emily!”
Bladerunner 2049.
I know a lot of people disliked it compared to the first one, even Ridley Scott himself. But I love the direction Denis Villeneuve took this film in.
Did people dislike it compared to the first one? It’s got an 88% on rotten tomatoes, and anyone I’ve talked with about the films prefers the second one.
I agree with you, by the way, I just don’t think that’s the unpopular take (Ridley’s opinion is meaningless at this point).
I love BR2049. In fact I think I liked it more than the original, and that’s saying something.
Gorgeous film
This is my all time favourite movie, whereas the first probably isn’t in the top 5, low top 10 max.
Ridley Scott is famous for his shit opinions. When he released The Last Duel in the middle of COVID, he complained that “them kids can’t even get off their phone for 2 hours to enjoy art” as thr primary reason it wasn’t making money.
I JUST rewatched Gone in Sixty Seconds on a whim, on like Thursday, and spotted that it apparently has a 38% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck that noise, that movie is a materpiece of filmography.
This is the movie we use to test our systems. Soundtrack rocked, it’s my fiances favorite.
Agreed! I love to hate gone in sixty seconds, I feel the same way about the need for speed movie as well. If you haven’t seen it I recommend watching the NFS movie.
Tomato-meter has it currently as 26%
I think it was just too much Race, Chase, Heist Fatigue. When it came out, everyone watched it and had a good time. They got lulled in by the 27 F&F movies. But it’s not the same thing.
This came out a year BEFORE the first F&F movie.
Yeah but the tomato is score has more than that first year of ratings on it right?
Uhhhh, I dunno, I suppose that’s possible. Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t around in 2000, was it? Would they have aggregated from, like, newspaper reviews at the time?
That’s a damn good question let me look it up
From their FAQ:
Rotten Tomatoes has a team of curators whose job is to gather thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team constantly collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications generating Tomatometer scores. Our curation process considers these reviews, noting if they are Fresh or Rotten, and our curators choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
Waterworld. I love that movie so much. I’ve watched the theatrical, TV, and Ulysses cuts. I’ve read the comics. I’ve played the games. I bought it on Blu-ray the day Arrow released it.
Lots of redeeming qualities about Waterworld. The stunt work, and score especially.
Does Borat the original count?
Weekend at Bernie’s
The Day After Tomorrow - It’s campy but underrated
Had one gag that made me literally LOL… intentionally…
They’re trapped in a library, debating the morality of burning books in the fireplace to stay alive.
“How about all these tax books, can we burn these?”
Also:
“Is there a chance that it will run…” grabs a bottle “…on this?”
“Are you mad? That’s a twelve years old scotch!” reveals cups
How is this movie underrated?? It’s popular af!
Despite not rewatching this movie in over a decade, I think about it monthly.
