I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
Idiocracy
Big Trouble
Boondock Saints. It’s so bad, but I love it.
Oh damn that’s a perfect example of what OP was asking for. 23% rotten tomatoe rating with 92% audience rating
I had to go look it up, I couldnt believe it!
Such a good movie!
I only liked the first one. The ones after weren’t so good.
“THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!” Willen Dafoe was brilliant.
There’s only one sequel with a 2nd supposedly in the works.
This shows how much I didn’t enjoy the second one - I couldn’t even remember if there was one or two sequels, but I do remember there was supposedly another instalment in the works.
No idea what the actual ratings are, but the live action remake of Aladdin was absolutely shat on by most of the internet. The original Aladdin was one of my absolute favorites as a kid, so I was gonna see the remake good or bad, and… honestly, fucking loved it.
I’m guessing the main breaking point for people was the lack of Robin Williams’ Genie, but Disney had the option of trying recreate that genie without Robin Williams or completely remake that character’s personality. Had they gone with the former, it 100% would have 1) flopped, and 2) been kinda disrespectful to Robin Williams imo. Starting fresh was the correct choice. And Will Smith did awesome with his version of Genie.
Beyond that, it introduced just enough new shit to make it not just feel like a frame-by-frame copy/paste of the original; but overall kept the same fun mystical vibe of the original.
It earns its spot on the shelf, imo.
The Amazing Bulk.
Dude Where’s My Car is one of my favorite movies with the worst rating of all time.
That was going to be my answer too. I enjoy that movie and don’t care what people think.
That movie is so dumb. I LOVE IT.
Its mystery is exceeded only by its power.
And then?
Sweet! What does mine say?
This used to be one of my favorites. I tried watching this again, high as a kite, with my wife the other day and we made it 35 minutes in before going back to rewatching I Think You Should Leave for the 100th time.
I hope there’s gonna be another season of that. It’s so fucking good.
Check out the movie Friendship. Gonna be so fuckin good.
Itysl memes have become the way my wife and I communicate. It’s wild the impact that that show has had on us lmao
The Day After Tomorrow - It’s campy but underrated
Had one gag that made me literally LOL… intentionally…
They’re trapped in a library, debating the morality of burning books in the fireplace to stay alive.
“How about all these tax books, can we burn these?”
Also:
“Is there a chance that it will run…” grabs a bottle “…on this?”
“Are you mad? That’s a twelve years old scotch!” reveals cups
Despite not rewatching this movie in over a decade, I think about it monthly.
How is this movie underrated?? It’s popular af!
Weekend at Bernie’s
Empire Records is a 5 ⭐ film, yet holds a 35% rotten tomatoes score.
deleted by creator
But 85% audience score. Critics seems to love to hate on those types of teen movies. Can’t Hardly Wait has 43%.
Convoy. Old trucks, Kris Kristofferson, bad acting big explosions and beautiful women. And that soundtrack, chef’s kiss 👌
If anyone wanted to know what the OST was:
“Because we got a great big convoy…”
not really sure how people view it (or even how i’d view it now nearly 30 years on) but i liked that weird Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie when it came out. haven’t seen it since it was in theatres though so not sure what i’d think of it now; i just thought it was neat at the time (and age of 10)
Oh shit, I’m with you. Really good story. Not final fantasy but still really good. I do go back and notice all the uncanny valley stuff now but I’m not as sensitive to it as other people.
Has anyone mentioned “the room”? Im gonna reccommend it. It’s so bad, it’s good.
Lost River (2014)
The new Total Recall. It’s a fun ride.
I thought it was good as a serious sci-fi movie; but I still prefer the campy-ass original as an action/comedy.
I adore the original, but I’ll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.
Josie and the Pussycats.
Rated 5.7 by people who had no clue what it was saying at the time. I feel like if it was released in today’s pop culture environment it would fare far far better.
It’s far more satirical, clever and funny than an Archie adjacent bubblegum pop movie has any right to be.
I’m your back door lover
Weekend at Bernie’s, I really like it.
