Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Surprisingly good action and a decent plot to boot.

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.

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.

I'm giving away my age, but Benny & Joon. A story about two mentally ill people falling in love, and the script isn't even that great, but all the actors really sell it and it is such a quirky heart warming and funny movie.

Uwe Boll's Rampage. He gets slated but that movie is great.

I loved Hudson Hawk. The story was bonkers, the musical numbers were entertaining and had a great ending.

Clerks. It should be some stoner Seinfeld flick but it actually lines up pretty well with La Divina Comedia and the dialogue, although sometimes a bit clunky, is very well written.

First movie that comes to mind is the Power Rangers movie starring Bryan Cranston from like 7 or 8 years ago. Went fully expecting another Transformers-esque butchering of a nostalgic trip. Was delightfully surprised by the deep and relatable characters. I recommend it as an above-average super hero movie.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot.

Dumbest movie title ever, but the best thing I've ever seen Sam Elliott do.

Keanu Reeves holds two places on my list; Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Johnny Mnemonic.

The Suicide Squad from 2021. The previous Suicide Squad movie was a disaster and you're making ANOTHER ONE? That movie had no right to be as entertaining as it was.

Also The Batman. Comic book movie: check. Comic book character that has been done to death: check. Everything has to be grim and dark and realistic: check. When I say "everything has to be dark" I also mean the visuals: check. But it was fine, surprisingly.

Warrior with tom Hardy/joel edgarton/nick nolte. Marketed as a shitty MMA cash grab. It’s fantastic. Also has like 2 finales that crescendo so hard one after the other.

American Werewolf in London

The title alone makes it sound like a cheesy 80s goofy movie...and it kinda is. But the practical effects are right up there with The Thing. It makes you invested in the characters and the main conflict is really tough. It's more dark and gritty than you would expect, especially near the end. The werewolf transformation scene has some of the best practical effects in film. It's stomach churning.

Triangle looks like a generic "slasher on a ship" horror movie at first, but is actually a lot more twisted and clever than that. >!It's actually about a time loop.!<

P.S. I love you.

When we were dating, my wife and I just went to the theater and picked a random movie and I left a blubbering fucking mess. We had to go directly to a bar to get a drink to take the edge off. We usually watch it once a year and it still destroys me.

I watched that when I had PMS and bawled through the whole thing, I was expecting a romantic comedy and I have never been so upset by a plot twist.
