To be fair all the actors who aren't Costner are pretty good to great. Morgan Freeman smiles as he waits for his checks to clear and he's still a highlight of the movie.

people dump on Super Mario Bros the movie. but i think it's great. I would EVEN SAY you couldn't have made a better live action movie from the material you had to work with.

This. I watched it a few weeks back and expected it to be bad from everything I heard, but I was in tears laughing twice. If you go in expecting a cheesy 80s movie with Mario references and not a direct adaptation, you will be heavily, heavily rewarded.

Watching Bambi in the cinema with my dad on my 14th birthday was a highlight of my life, especially where a grown man surrounded by 4 year olds spent the whole thing weeping.

Also, The Day After Tomorrow. I watched it a lot as a kid because I loved natural disasters and it's stuck with me. Cut out the cheesy family-trying-to-reunite subplot and it's pretty exhilarating.

Silly 60’s comedies like What’s New Pussycat?, The original Casino Royale, and even Hercules in New York (that last one is really fun, especially with how young and inexperienced Arnold is).

Also: Suicide Squad

You can’t argue with me on this either because I know it’s a lovely movie, but if you know that going in and don’t get invested in any of the characters or really care about super hero movies it’s pretty fun. Will Smith does a good job with his role. Harley Quinn is pretty fun. The Joker is in my opinion fun and, at the very least, intriguing. And that idiot who gets his head blown off without doing anything is hilarious.

The rest of the characters are pretty stupid and I didn’t give a poo poo about them. The bar scene is stupid and unnecessary. It’s a bad film but I had fun seeing it, and that’s all that matters. Most of the complaints directed to it usually involve taking the characters and plot too seriously (why didn’t they send in Batman to take care of the big bad guy? Being the big one). Stop doing that and it’s enjoyable.

Oh sweet Jesus no. I have three daughters with a two year age gap, trust me on this one. If you have to get them into anything then buy all the old school cartoon princess Disney movies, just because there are a fair few of them and you won’t have to hear let it go let it go let it go let it go let it go.

For those without children Buy the song and play it through your headphones over and over and over again for days on end to replicate the frozen experience.

House Bunny has a place in my top ten favorite movies of all time because it consistently makes me laugh each viewing.

My freshman year roommates forced me to see it on the big screen during a time of my life when the Coen Bros and Lars Von Trier were my favorite directors. I begrudgingly went, but it left its mark on me.

I now own the DVD and can enjoy 2008 humor whenever I drat well please.

Accepted is a terrible, horrible film in every regard, and everyone involved in its making should be sent to concentration camps and put directly in the ovens without being gassed first so that they can suffer for their evil crimes... but drat does it have some nice womens in it tho.

Donnie Darko. The first time I saw it was also one of the first times I got high and my mind was blown. Its incoherence in retrospect is a fair knock against it, but I'll take ersatz profundity until Hollywood delivers on the real thing to the extent of like a Beckett play for the first time ever. I'm still fond of Inception on similar grounds. Like, it's profundity as a consumer product that disappears after you inhale it and leaves you wanting more, whereas real insight just leaves you in tearful, inconsolate Buddhistic prayer for the suffering of the world soul.

Sweeney Todd was just a loving great film even though Depp can't sing. I've gotten deeply skeptical friends to watch it and they came around.
