I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Disney’s “The Black Hole”. It came from a time just after Walt Disney had died and they were still figuring out their shit.
So they made an extremely dark SciFi flick with a cute robot that appeals to children which is such a weird combination, but I liked it a lot. I can’t even say why.
The U.S.S. Cygnus looks fucking badass, too. One of the best ship designs in a SciFi movie, change my mind.
A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars snd 10% normal space-ship stuff.
Oh yeah that thing is a classic.
Event Horizon… terror in space? Worse the Alien? can’t be.
but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made
Free Guy
Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story
Pandorum. At a glance it like like just another bad sci-fi, but it’s really good horror sci-fi mind fuckery with a fantastic twist. Dennis Quaid is great in it.
Hamlet 2
A delightful comedy about a bumbling highschool drama teacher writing and directing his magnum opus. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and subversive. The cast is excellent.
…hot tub time machine; absurdly better film than its pitch had any right to be…
Keanu Reeves holds two places on my list; Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Johnny Mnemonic.
Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.
Tucker and Dave vs. Evil. Looks like another dumb Netflix original, but it was one of the best horror/comedies I’ve seen.
Speaking of the genre, big nods to another one - Little Evil.
It Follows - just read the premise of the film and tell me it doesn’t sound dumb… Then go watch it
Oh and Colossal!!! Ann Hathaway stars in this bizarre and very deep movie about a giant monster that can be controlled from a playground. Amazing movie. Trust me
It Follows… Amazing
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil! Amazing movie! I put it on one day just so I could check it off my list of new things out and, figured if I love the Evil Dead series (and also, as someone else mentioned in the thread, the Re-Animator) how awful could this be… it wasn’t. It was fantastic.
Enjoyed Little Evil too. So, I’m putting Colossal on my list right now!
I think Colossal will surprise you. It’s not exactly a horror comedy, but a very serious film wrapped in a ridiculous story
Similar vein: Slaxx. I’m not sure how vampire pants fits into things but boy does it start a conversation about using cheap labor for profit and the cost of life for that profit.
Colossal was weird, but i liked it. I could see where people would be thinking, what is this and why am I watching it, but it felt like real life to me. For a movie about monster avatars unwittingly being controlled from half a world away, anyway.
Cop Land.
I didn’t have Sly Stallone outacting Robert Deniro as a possibility, but then that movie happened.
Cop Land is amazing. Most people forget that Stallone has been nominated for three academy awards.
I mentioned this one on another post. It’s good enough I’m gonna throw it out there again. Kung Fu Mahjongg. All 3. …and Kung Fu Hustle
Edit to add, thier whole troop is amazing. Silly stories made amazingly entertaining, due to the charismatic cast and, creative and well executed choreography.
Kung Fu Hustle was amazing. Watched it randomly and still think it’s the best Kung Fu movie I’ve ever seen.
I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Wait, I didn’t know Re:Zero had a live action!
Here’s a bold one: “Atlantic Rim”.
Yes. It is just a low budget cash grab meant to fool grandparents into buying little Johnny the wrong film by accident. (When little Johnny asked for a copy of “Pacific Rim”.)
But somehow it actually has a decent script, and passable acting.
The effects are bonkers cheap, though.
Okay, I’m really stretching it with this one.
But I tried to hate-watch it, and couldn’t actually hate it.
Idc about nuthin, and will defend the first Pacific rim any time! This is also coming from someone who legit got a lump in my throat watching the first Kong v. Godzilla trailer from like six or seven years ago!
Is it better than Pacific Rim: Uprising? Lol
Hands down. Assuming you saw the second, the first doesn’t have the bullshit love sorry.
Haha. Uh…I never thought about it, but I liked it better, yes.
But my kids like Pacific Rim: Uprising better.
Velocipastor! It looks and seems like it’ll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!
yeah i get what you mean. it does look pretty bad 😂
[Fire Fx here]
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot.
Dumbest movie title ever, but the best thing I’ve ever seen Sam Elliott do.
