Even though I know in my heart that they're poor adaptations of the book and unnecessarily long, over-complicated, poorly paced, crappy-cgi filled, underdeveloped cash grabs I still love all the Hobbit movies just as much as I love the Lord of the Rings. I also think Troma movies are great. They don't really make me laugh but I just really like watching them.

Lordshmee posted:Mine is: The Postman. I guess it hit me right before cynicism destroyed my belief in American idealism. Plus the line, “I was at the battle of Georgetown, I watched the White House burn to the ground!” is badass. this is the first one to make me recoil in horror from the screen. you should really get checked to see if you've been infected with some kind of brain parasite.

gary oldmans diary posted:not like a dbz fight scene payoff but i think walking into an eternity of being husband to horny sexy ladysatan and new king of hell (whatever that is since satan isnt who we picture it as) is provocative My impression was that he simply got an audience with the devil, which is what Frank Langella explained in the beginning of the movie (if I remember correctly). My bigger gripe was that the payoff of what we actually see on screen is pretty weak. Lena Olin is inconsequential, Frank Langella doesn't really accost Depp or do anything sinister enough to really stand out as the antagonist, and the ending was rushed as hell after Langella tries to summon the devil and fails. Depp pretty much shrugs and walks away, decides to go back to check out the bookstore and randomly finds the other page. You can have the climax of your movie be in the denouement (e.g. The Usual Suspects), but there has to be a build up all the way to the credits. Depp just seems mildly interested with the last page and wanders on over to the burnt down building to see what's up. There was no apprehension or wild fascination that the character should have had at that point given what had happened and was happening. Like I said, I still really enjoy the movie as a mood piece or something to put on in the background, it's just really sedate and doesn't ever spike into awful or great.

I feel like there's a little bit of difference between liking a movie because it is crazy and stupid and liking a movie in earnest. Like, I enjoy Super Mario Bros because it's crazy and awful and watching it with friends to laugh at it is a great time, but I wouldn't say I think it's a good movie. Scott Pilgrim is a movie I genuinely enjoyed, thought was good, and have seen a bunch of times. Both are movies vaguely related to videogames that I like, but it's kinda different. I'm not sure I'm actually ashamed about liking any movie, though. Well, maybe Mean Girls a little bit, I thought that was a fun movie but it is pretty girly.

I always really liked the last samurai. I'd usually watch it while slowly getting obliterated on a worknight alone in the basement, and I liked the theme of a disturbed alcoholic finding some sort of peace and redemption in life, even if it was another white guy to the rescue type movie. Although I managed to quit drinking and haven't watched it since.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man: it had Chevy Chase, got bad reviews, one of the few John Carpenter films without his name attached to the title, and it's not bad to watch on a sunday afternoon with nothing else to do

Secular Humanist posted:Mission To Mars That movie is a great example of how weird the rating system is. Several people die in horrific ways, but since there's no blood and the violence is caused by storms it's PG. One guy gets torn apart by a vortex and someone else gets a rock to the face.

Buckaroo Banzai is a fantastic movie and there is no reason to be ashamed of liking it. I don’t know if the Robin Williams/Shelly Duvall Popeye movie is reviled but I remember it bombing commercially. I still like it.

I still regard The Waterboy as the last good Adam Sandler film. Also Return of Swamp Thing is a cinematic masterpiece of constant monster-wrestling.

wide stance posted:Clifford. Hell yeah. I probably should feel ashamed for liking these: -Hot Rod -Just Friends -The Sitter -Hellraiser II -Flash Gordon -He-Man -Beastmaster -Beastmaster II -Willow -Highlander 2 (loving HILARIOUS) -Hot Tub Time Machine -Superman III There are more, but these are off the top of my head. There are other movies that I like that people will tell me I should feel ashamed for, but I won't. I probably love The Room too much, but I love that I notice new unintentionally funny moments in it every time I watch it.

facebook jihad posted:I watched Sandler’s That’s My Boy on cable about a year ago and found it funny in how dumb it was. Like I didn’t hate it, and I don’t think I liked it. But I definitely enjoyed my time watching it. in funny people adam sandler makes fun of seth rogan for making self-depreciating jokes. "man how you ever going to get laid talking like that?" That is actually what adam sandler believes. All of his movies since anger management have him as either rich or cool, usually with a hot wife/girlfriend

My little brother and I both love it because of the interplay between the brothers. Rogue Wave also does the soundtrack.

A Knight's Tale it's so loving goofy and dumb as hell to watch medieval peasants chanting along to We Will Rock You and a bunch of nobles at a banquet dancing to David Bowie, but everyone outside of the lead actress puts on a really good performance and seems to be having such a great time.
