That would be The Animatrix.

I can totally see that. Animatrix just needed a questionable soundtrack.

 

[Colocho]

I had never seen the Indiana Jones movies until 2 years ago, so I went on a marathon of the 4 movies (in 2 days) and I gotta say the fourth movie was actually pretty good for a summer flick and I wouldn't put it thaaaaat far behind the other 3 in the series.

Also, I love BASEketball.

 

[bud]

seriously.

 

[Coppertracks]

Actually that sounds quite interesting =/

It really is. The entire film is also split-screen so you see each of them at all times. Makes for a unique viewing. I won't spoil the storyline, I think it's best to go in not knowing anything.

 

[Sad_Panda]

Uh ? Never seen anything but praise for The Fall. And deservedly so, awesome movie.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Man this thread is weird. Some people are posting things that shouldn't even be mentioned. Transformers? The Black Hole? A lot of people are posting cult classics. So here's my attempt to get back on topic:

Stars an Officer, a Hobbit, and an Ensign.

 

[Melchiah]

I still need to see this. One of my friends spoke quite highly about it, and I did like The Cell from the same director, which I guess also fits the topic.

 

[BearChair]

Borderline masterpiece

 

[kehs]

Teeth.

It took me way too long to finally see it, but now I make sure I never miss it if it's airing.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I also like Synecdoche New York.

 

[Rei no Otaku]

My friends and I followed the Repo Road Show along the east coast. Since the movie couldn't get a decent theater showing the director and some of the actors took it to small theaters across the country. I've been to numerous shadow casts and have the autographs of almost all the major actors in the film. Great movie.

Another one for me is:

I don't know what it is about this movie but I really enjoy it. I like the anachronistic touches and the actors/characters are really likable. It's cheesy, but it has a lot of heart.

First to the people who said Conversations with Other Women and Hudson Hawk, both are very good movies. Quite different but both very good. Conversations with Other Women is a legitimately strong drama and if you like movies like Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, it's worth watching.

Hudson Hawk would be a success today if it were marketed as the cheesy throwback action movie that it is. There is nothing serious about that movie, but if you go in knowing that its stupid fun then its fantastic.

Now for my entry. I love the movie Monster Squad, and I am the only person that I know that has ever heard of it. I saw it as a kid and am actually watching it again now. I describe the movie as The Goonies with Universal Monsters. It is a late 80s movie about kids who are really into monsters. For reasons that are still kind of hazy, Dracula comes to their town to open a portal and let evil into the world. He brings along the Wolfman, Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Mummy and Frankenstein who is good and on the kids side. There is a lot of smoking and swearing that would never make it into a film about 12-year-olds today. The movie has a very tongue in cheek vibe and mixes action and comedy well, kind of like The Goonies. If you know this movie, please tell me I'm not crazy for saying how good it is.

Monster Squad has a decent cult following and the Alamo Drafthouse has screened it a couple of times. It is very fondly remembered by those who remember it.

Written by Shane Black, incidentally.

 

[cacophony]

Batman & Robin & Batman Forever

both better than The Dark Knight

 

[LiQuid!]

Demolition Man and Chronicles of Riddick are the best sci fi movies ever made.

Batman Forever is the second best comic book movie ever made next to Punisher War Zone (The Dark Knight is the worst BY FAR)

I don't understand how anybody in their right mind could not enjoy Sucker Punch.

The Last Boy Scout is better than every Die Hard movie combined.

Anybody have any problems yet?

 

[elrechazado]

I haven't met a person in my life that likes Joe vs the volcano. I guess I caught it when I was very little.

One of my top ten favorite movies. May you live to be a thousand years years old sir.

I am pretty sure "Wolfmans got nards?" is a fairly well known pop culture reference.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Nah. I'd have to enjoy Hook to be dead on the inside. =P

I'm with you. Part of the deplorable Yuppie Scum Redeemed genre.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

You got to see some of Salma Hayek's butt.

EDIT: Beaten? :O

at the beginning of the film, smith falls down into a tub of water (something like that), and there you can see it... his pines. strangely enough, i remember seeing that, but i can't remember seeing hayek's butt.

It was during the "Let's get some shut-ass," scene.

im the only one that likes bring it on out of all my friends, even though im a straight guy who hates cheerleading.

 

[Trokil]

Man this thread is weird. Some people are posting things that shouldn't even be mentioned. Transformers? The Black Hole? A lot of people are posting cult classics.

Really. I never found anybody, who likes the black hole. I love to movie, everything about it. Ok, the good robots were silly, but Maximillian is maybe one of the coolest and scariest robots ever. So it was fine to make them so buddy like.

But I always thought that the black hole was regarded as one of the biggest bombs in movie history because it was too complicated and too dark for the audience. And of course there is the problem with the ending, which i liked but most people think it sucks.

One other movie nobody mentioned. What about this one.

23% at rotten tomatoes, also box office bomb. But still, I think it was great Sci Fi movie.

Edit: It was 23% not 33%. So pretty bad. Still I like it.

 

[Jarnet87]

I love Transformers: The Movie. It got even better after those trash Michael Bay films came out.

 

[Melchiah]

One of my favorite movies, and one of the best scifi/horror movies ever made. I dunno if it fits the topic though, at least most of the people I know liked it.

Thank You good sir. I really love Joe vs the Volcano. An unappreciated movie in my eyes.

I loved this movie as a kid. LOVED IT!!

I bought the DVD when it was released but it didn't hold up very well.

I bought the blu-ray when it was released too. Not really sure why I bought it but I did.

I loved this movie as a kid

and this

Billy Blanks was like the most bad ass high school janitor ever!

 

[JB1981]

seriously.

You are definitely NOT the only person who likes these movies particularly the last two.

 

[EvilMario]

Glad to see the Waterworld love in this thread.

A weird, rarely talked about movie (although I don't know if it's disliked), that we watch every Thanksgiving is Home for the Holidays. Pretty funny and lots of good characters.

 

[Amory]

Juwanna Mann.

And Shallow Hal.

 

[PalaceBrother]

My wife wants me to watch this. We found the entire thing on YouTube too.

Wait a minute hold on...is the original Transformers movie some rare gem that nobody likes?!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Tyler Perry movies

Spoiler

lol psyche

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

And Shallow Hal.

This Too

I love a Knight's Tale, like you said it's fun and has a lot of heart

 

[NZer]

I got a good one. (Hopefully hasn't already been posted, knowing my luck.) And possibly something ONLY I liked, unlike many movies here:

 

[Horse Detective]

I FUCKING loved Prometheus. More so the first half of the movie.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I really liked Pandorum. Thought it was a really good sci if flick. Ending was fantastic too.

 

[Kinyou]

You're not alone.

Not anymore.

 

[Blizzard]

Thank you, I forgot about this. I thought this was pretty funny and enjoyable as well.

 

[Accoun]

Ghost in the Shell II: Innocence

What
the...

People dislike it?! Of course, the original was better, but this is a worthy sequel IMO...

I'm With the Conquerors Of Shamballa, though. Great idea, bad execution (the worst "normal" anime I've seen)...

 

[British Monsoon]

Sure, it's a HUGE step down from Highlander, but I actually kinda like Highlander II: The Quickening;

never see it on tv, never seen anyone talk about it

except one time here in gaf

I love this one - it's a bit dated, but still a great western with some excellent comedy driven by the awesome pairing of Hill & Spencer. The sequel 'Trinity is Still My Name' is great too.

 

[IonicSnake]

Everyone I know seem to hate it.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Twins if Evil

Fangs, titties and Peter Cushing. So happy it got a Blu-ray release.

Hopefully Dracula 1979 will get one too. In colour this time.

 

[Jburton]

I am a huge movie fan and I've watched lots of movies. And as everybody I have my favorite movies. Sometimes, when I am talking about movies with other people, we usually start to argue about three of my favorite movies, only I seem to like.

The first one is the 13th warrior with Antonio Banderas. I like this movie. I think it is well done and the story is good, the characters are interesting and the setting is not as overdone as other ideas in recent movie history. I liked it way more than movies like Robin Hood or similar movies. But it's strange everybody else thinks it was a bad or at best mediocre movie.

The second one is Alien 3. Everybody thinks it was the worst Alien movie. But I think it was a very interesting movie and because there was only one Alien no marines and no weapons it was way more scary then the second one. I liked the settings, the characters and the story. The ending was also very bold in my opinion.

The last one is a silly movie called the Ice Pirates. I am sure nobody will know this movie, but I like this one very much. And no I don't think it's Police Academy movie in space. Somehow I like it, it is silly, it is dirty and somewhat strange. But according to other people it's trash.

Do you also have movies in your favorite movies list only you seem to like? Do you like movies like Transformers or something similar?

13th Warrior is fucking awesome, the Vikings in that movie are excellent ........ John McTiernan is sorely missed in the action world.

High five brother.


Also Alien 3 is favourite too.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

 

[bengraven]

And I fucking LOVE this movie, FUCK the haters:

 

[KAOz]

never see it on tv, never seen anyone talk about it

except one time here in gaf

What? Really?

The Trinity movies are all amazing! Shit, anything with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill together is awesome.

 

[Jburton]

I love me Best of the Best but 3 was awful. 4 is so much better.

But this, this is a great movie.

Man I have not seen American Ninja 4 in years, loved when I was younger.

Michael Dudikoff is a boss.
