Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

I didn’t think the trailer looked good and it felt meh, but I ended up loving the movie a lot.

The Cabin in the Woods. Only seen it once so far and I'm still floored thinking back on it and how well it did its thing.

I was about to say the same, the purge was such a creative joy

They Live.

WWF wrestler discovers magic sunglasses and yuppie aliens. It's a John Carpenter film and has one of the longest fist fights.

I'm going to have to make a list of the movies recommended here that I want to watch. Lots of interesting picks. Cool idea for a post.

A few that come to mind

2022 - Lovecraftian Horror/Dark Comedy/Fantasy - Glorious

2019 - Mystery/Horror/Thriller/- The Colour Out Of Space (or Color Out Of Space)

2015 - Action/Violence/Scifi - Hardcore Henry

2010 - Action/Violence - Machete

2010 - Action/Comedy/Romance - Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

2009 - Zombie Horror/Dark Comedy - George: A Zombie Intervention (or George's Intervention)

2009 - Adventure/Fantasy/Scifi - Ink

1999 - Adventure/Comedy/Fantasy - Dogma

1997 - Action/Adventure/Scifi - The Game

All were really good movies that I myself initially passed over (numerous times even) before coming back a while later to be blown away on the first watch. Most of these I ordered on dvd as the credits were still rolling. I can list some more if you like any of these.

I watched Running Scared with Paul Walker at like 3am probably over fifteen years ago. I thought it was brilliant, really dark but fun.

Sucker punch.

Looks like a mindless action with titties, but it's actually a good movie. Give it a try if you haven't.

This description reminded me of Club Dread, loved that movie as a preteen/teen

I watched a lengthy video essay about this movie that really made me want to watch it. Was definitely shocked by the level of thought put into the symbolism within the film.

Con Air

It is absolutely not well written but I just love how the film and all the actors are completely aware of how dumb the entire thing is.

Oh, and casting Chief Engineer Miles O'Brien as the jerk that everyone hates is the icing on this guilty-pleasure cake.

I loved this movie when I was younger but it's been a while... I'm sorry, WHAT?! O'Brien?! oh I need to see this one again

ink. looks cheap and weird but has a huge heart and vision.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

Army of thieves.

Prequel to army of the dead, actually an amazingly enjoyable film superior in every way to its stupid predecessor

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.

Disney writer #1: Let's make a Tower of Babel parable, but set it space!

Disney writer #2: Are we going to end the movie with the antagonist being sent to actual-factual Hell?

Disney writer #1: You fucking know it!

They were trying for their Star Wars.

Free Guy

Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 16 points 1 day ago

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.

I’ve not seen it since it came out but Crank (2006) is a terrible, dumb action comedy that has no right being that entertaining. It’s sequel Crank High Voltage is less good but also still enjoyable. I should rewatch them see if that’s rose tinted glasses or not!

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

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I think I wtched it follows, fully expecting to be awestruck and it just ended.
