sebmojo posted:Lockout is a brilliantly terrible movie with guy pearce drowning standing up, as a brave man should I'd seen that and forgotten all about it. Funny to read the Wikipedia page and find out: * It's basically a Luc Besson French science fiction piece, just done in English with an English cast * How it was successfully sued for ripping off Escape from New York * How the cast are quoted being so serious in their pre-publicity: "what attracted me to this character is ..."

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I refuse to believe that Swordfish is a hated movie. Come on, John Travolta giving supervillain speeches every 10 minutes, Paul Oakenfold all over the soundtrack (one song sampled Grease!), Halle Berry? It's great. I could understand someone who doesn't _get_ Buckaroo Banzai, because there's a lot to get. The first time I watched it I missed the first 10 minutes and assumed that it contained some important explanatory material. Nope. Which is what makes Buckaroo Banzai great, the way it sticks to its own crazy universe without winking.

The Eyes Have It posted:The Nicolas Cage film Next has really poor ratings but I really enjoyed it. It's about a gambler who has the ability to see the future, but only like two minutes at a time. It goes in unexpected directions. It's maybe not a great film, but it feels like a good episode of Twilight Zone or the like - entertaining, clever, a few twists.

hallo spacedog posted:Hail Caesar was kinda bad Totally in line with the thread title, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't strongly recommend it to anyone, but it was a good watch. About the worst I could day is that it's a bit minor. Ditto for Intolerable Cruelty.

A Worrying Warlock posted:Thanks to the goons recommending Radioactive Dreams! I watched it, and it really is the perfect "bad" film. It's true that there are a lot of "Bad Films" that are just bad. I'd say that most of the classic bad films - Ed Wood's output, for example - are just boring and tedious. I think it was Nathan Rabin who used to talk about "failures" and "fiascos" where the latter had a massive disconnect between ambition and skill, making for a truly Bad Film.

teen witch posted:I rewatched They Live on Saturday and rereading the initial reviews from its release are baffling. They Live is a surprisingly deep film. It trawls through issues like capitalism, media, collaboration, social classes. And then there's a 10 minute fist flight.

When I saw it the first time, a friend got up during the fight scene, went to the bathroom, ordered some food, had a drink, came back, and the fight scene is still going ....

Chrpno posted:Oh! That reminds me of a fun stinker of a movie: That's a great music ensemble film. We argued about who Reggie Wanker is meant to be. David Bowie? Marc Bolan? It also features Lou Reed as the enigmatic musician "Auden" who works the entire film traveling to the gig in a taxi, writing a song.

hallo spacedog posted:Southland Tales is on Pluto TV. Man what an insane film. I love it for it's craziness. I wouldn't describe as a good film. But it's so absolutely, 110% into its own crazy idea, that's admirable. Everyone is so serious and the film never blinks at its own absurdity. It's amazing.
