Some of the finest quality dialogue I have ever encountered, all stored up in one neglected gem. I give you TORQUE.
This is going to be quite a list, but I'll kick it off here... Batman and Robin - never has so much been consumed to produce something so utterly devoid of entertainment value Never Let Me Go - well-produced and acted, but I just detested it The Happening - a terrific premise and setup that completely sinks Glass - it seemed like M. Night was on a comeback, but not to be The Other Guys - other than the opening bit with Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, just awful...an unfunny mismatched buddy cop comedy Pretty much any movie based on a videogame, though Raul Julia's "the most important day of your life" speech in Street Fighter almost makes it worthwhile.
Ugh. Harmony Korine. I agree 100%. Yuck. I generally don't watch movies unless I have a decent reason to believe I'd like them, but sometimes I do take a chance on a film. That said, I didn't care for I Heart Huckabees or Lost in Translation. In fact, I am convinced that no one really likes Lost in Translation. It's like The Emperor's Clothes. A bunch of people claim to "get it" and "like it" but that's just because they want to seem hip. Everyone hated it.
I agree with the rest of your list, but Street Fighter is fucking awesome. So is the Mortal Kombat film that came out the next year.
Ex husband and I used to double date with another married couple and go see movies. The one time I picked a movie - A Knight’s Tale, the other couple husband said I was not allowed to choose the movie ever again. It’s now one of his favorites. So, many people may add A Knight’s Tale to the list.
Blood Sucking Freaks The Color of Night Graveyard Shift Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare Warlock: The Armageddon Judgment Night
Oh, Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Awful and creepy as hell And while we're on Chris Pratt, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - read this if you want to find out how truly absurd it is: https://gizmodo.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-the-spoiler-faq-1827136902
Off hand, first that comes to mind. Being John Malkovich Marvel's Eternals Overboard (Adam Sandler movie) Those immediately came to me, I'm sure there's more.
I actually enjoy and really liked Gummo, not anywhere near my favorite or even what is consider a great movie, but it's still a movie that I enjoy.
Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century Manos, the Hands of Fate Pretty much anything by Troma The Blair Witch Project
No, no, no. Take it back, or I'm gonna strap you down like Alex in A Clockwork Orange and make you watch it until it makes you physically nauseous (as it does the rest of us). *Spoiler alert* Bruce Willis' character (or, should I say, Bruce Willis' costumed stand-in) gets killed off largely offscreen by an anonymous henchmen with absolutely no significance. Oh. Shit. He's dead. Oh, well, life goes on...
I get it, a lot of people really like it. I tried watching it when it came out, and again a few times. I just can't watch it or get into it.
Yes, The Blair Witch Project. Stupid, stupid movie. Saw it in the theater, bored as hell. I know it was supposed to be the "found footage" movie that set the standard. But it's stupid and boring. There were movies before and after that were so much better.
I have to say, seeing The Blair Witch Project with an audience in a small theater in Palo Alto before the film was in wide release was one of the best movie-going experiences of my life. I'll never forget the young couple ahead of me leaving the theater, she bawling her eyes out, he reassuring her it was just a movie. Nor can I forget the chills I still had as I got into my car. Maybe it was the hype that had us all so wound up, I dunno. But it was a fantastic experience, everything one could want from a scary movie. Yes, it's really a one-and-done; once you've experienced it, the magic is dissipated.
Alien3. Not that it was a badly made film, but the story choices they made with established characters in the first ten minutes, ahem, alienated me. That f**king film could've been Raiders of the Lost Ark after that and I still would've sat there with a scowl on my face.
