Zulu. A rip roaring tale of some civilised white chaps teaching the zulus a thing or two about warfare but then ultimately gaining their respect by mowing hundreds of then down.

Its also based on a true story which makes it even better.

True fact. Its an xmas tradition to show this film on TV in the UK usually on xmas eve at about 2pm so you can watch it with a drink.
Fun fact: Peter Jackson looked to this movie for inspiration on the Helm's Deep plotline in The Two Towers.

Eh it feels shameful to laugh when you're 23 and moving back in with parents.

Jeepers Creepers, the first one, knowing what a monster Victor Salva is.

Also I'm not ashamed but I don't brag that I love every scrappy Final Destination movie.

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.

The tall brunette scientist lady was one of my first movie crushes.

Reminds me, I also really like Mortal Kombat Anhillation even though it's objectively a hate crime to the eyes and ears.

I saw Big Trouble in theaters and it was loving boring as poo poo. It was so boring and lovely and forgettable that I feel like having an opinion on it at all is giving it more than it deserves.
I remember it way more clearly than it feels I should. It's such a dry Ritz cracker of a movie

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.
I liked this one completely in spite of myself too. I'd say the same about Waiting but I think that one is decently made.

love actually is a p good movie i like it even though im a manly man
It is competently made and has a cast to die for, but everyone in it is a terrible human being.

There are not one, not two, but three 'guy wants to gently caress his employee' plotlines. Emma Thompson and Laura Linney get screwed over with no resolution to their broken families getting in the way of their happiness. Meanwhile the pervert gets a gangbang, the creep gets a pity kiss from his best friend's wife as reward for being a creep, and Liam Neeson's lizard kid is rewarded for harrassing a girl he barely knows at the airpot.

It is so morally bankrupt while being loving to its audience it's honestly a breathtaking indictment of Western Civilization.

The Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy plots are sweet though.

Big Trouble in Little China

A story about how a hwite man invites himself into other people's centuries old problems and fixes them all.
You missed the joke bad.

The Asian guy who Kurt Russell treats like a sidekick is the actual main character and Russell is the boorish idiot American who tags along and gets in the way.

I’m watching Lucky Number Slevin for like the 30th time in my life because it’s about to leave Netflix.

I am not ashamed.
All I remember about this movie is Bruce Willis snapping necks and a 30-something Lucy Liu pretending and failing to act like a ditzy 19 year-old.

Why are you ashamed to like these, again? Esp Room 1408. It was a fun movie.
Yeah 1408's biggest crime is that there isn't really any innovation in it. It's Stephen King's personal xerox. That said it's a drat good quality xerox.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (the one in the mental hospital with the cool TV death)
For my money this is the best of all the Elm Street movies. Patricia Arquette and Heather Langenkamp are way better than the movie deserves, Freddy has at least three of his GOAT kills, the kids are actually written like kids who were falsely institutionalized and even the nerd is likable, a hot nurse gets naked, and a solid monster-origin for Freddy even if it doesn't make any sense and devalues some of his "neighborhood demon" mystique. The movie ends with not-Bill Maher fighting a flaming undead skeleton in a junkyard.

The only reason to be ashamed is if all of your friends are insufferably highbrow and refuse to let you enjoy anything they don't approve of.
