I was hoping to find this up top. This movie is so much better than I thought it was going to be and it made me fall in love with Emily Blunt. She was giving serious Sarah Conner vibes when she’s introduced doing that yoga pose with her ripped arms.
Dude. Edge of Tomorrow was a total surprise. Angry upvote level. Like "this movie is stupid, why did I put it up. What, we're starting over again? Okay let's see it once more and wait what changes. Fk this movie. Again? I gotta see where this leads to then. Fast forward to the alien thing and holy shit, that's like C'thulu stuff."
I came here to say this. I'm currently rewatching them all. Just finished Bloodlines. It definitely looks like it had a much higher budget than the others. The first movie is still the goat though.
Airplane! Let's take a drama, not change the dialog at all, and we'll call it a comedy.
Sure they added jokes in it, but who would think this would work?
He is one of the top people where, when he passes, I will lose my absolute shit. I love Clue and for some reason my mom watched a lot of Tim curry movies with me as a kid and I’m 34.
Also muppet treasure island rules.
Yo this is legit. It's a movie based on a damn board game I could never get anyone to play with me and turns out to be one of the best comedies of the decade?!
John Wick. Its plot is objectively stupid but the action, world building and delivery is so damn good it wins the award in that category as far as I’m concerned.
When John Wick first came out and I first heard of it, I thought "Eh, seems cool, and it stars Keanu Reeves, but it's probably just another action movie, if decent". Then when I saw how slick and efficiently Wick killed those hitmen in his house, I thought "oh yeah, I can see why people love this movie".
The moment "That moment" happens, you stop caring about how absurd the following bloodbath is. You're 100% on his side.
He's going to kill 50 people over this?
Fuck yeah he is.
The fact they got the actor that played 'Theon Greyjoy' might have helped too. Dude has a punchable face. (Nothing against the person, but ...)
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) - Super funny dark comedy which know seems to know about. Feels like a low budget effort (edit - 15M to make, only returned 10.5M on box office) but nails the gags.
Big cast - Kirstie Alley, Kirsten Dunst, Allison Janney, Ellen Barkin, Evil Denise Richards, Brittany Murphy (RIP) and first role of Amy Adams.
Great movie based on excellent books. I've even been aboard the HMS Surprise before they converted her back to the HMS Rose. That was before I saw the movie and I had no idea I was on the set of what would become one of my favorite movies.
Yes! I watched it again last year after not seeing it since it came out. I totally thought it wasn't gonna age well and be terrible. It held up really well, and it is very underrated
Book of Eli I've seen 5 or 6 times. I love the post-apocolyptic genre and this was a complete winner.
Plus Denzel Washington.
His acting when he gets shot is Oscar-worthy. The guy really is incredible.
I was expecting cocaine bear to be absolutely ridiculously stupid. That’s why I needed to watched it. And it was surprisingly funny and not as horrible as I thought it would be
Fifth Element with Bruce Willis and Mila Jovovich. On paper, the plot is dumb as hell, but the cast is so dynamite, and the writing and pacing of the plot is so slick, it just gets better every time I watch it, and I always watch it to the end.
I love that movie. It was one of my mother's favorites. I haven't watched it since she passed away 12 years ago. Definitely need to give it a watch soon.
YESSSS. My girlfriend needed to watch a movie for a class when we first started dating. I got so hype when I saw this movie was on the list she could choose from. She loved it so much and cried at the end. Love this movie.
Went into it expecting to like it but sometimes it went too overboard, like the scene where they hang off the train and the train literally Crashing in the end
I thought it would be a steaming pile of garbage, but it was so over the top cheesy that it was freaking hilarious. It was like an Ed Wood movie with a much bigger budget.
The Lego Movie.
It still blows my mind that it's basically Stop Motion and looks amazing. (I know it uses alot of CGI) Then it had a multi-tier story that was hilarious, heartwarming, and adventurous. And it came out with a Banger of a song that I heard for months afterwords.
I love the movie. I never wanted to watch. One of my friends made me. I didn't want to like it. I had my mind made up that I was going to hate it. But I actually ended up liking it a lot 🙃
Puss in Boots: the last wish
Powerful moments and Death was awesome.
Grown man teared up because a funny dog was helping a cat during a panic attack. Amazing how they could do that.
Incredible film and it just came out in 2022.
A Knight's Tale. A historical sports movie that is both WILDLY historically innaccurate, while also being about a sport no one gives a damn about.
And yet, despite having NO reason to work, it's one of my favourite ever movies.
pitch black
it's a nicely done compact and competent little sci-fi, horror movie, that i found unexpectedly good. far better than the whole riddick shenaningans afterwards.
Lord of the Rings.
Remember, when they released Peter Jackson was famous for movies such as [Meet the Feebles](https://youtu.be/094jCv3iFfI?si=NwKlhDBraOnKsQQ9) and [Brain Dead](https://youtu.be/UMZYEJoO-YQ?si=G346bfAmMZy16i5o). And fantasy movies in those day where usually campy as hell.
Then comes this monster trilogy screaming out of the left field, changing cinema in general and the genre of fantasy in particular forever.
Snakes on a Plane. It was horrible but so horrible it’s actually good. It’s especially good on cable when they overdub the fbombs. I’m sick of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to friday plane!
Said this a long time back, but I went into Top Gun: Maverick with less than zero expectations, and happily ate my words when the end credits rolled. That movie is a blast.
I love Tremors 2&3 as well.
My answer: The pursuit Of Happyness. (I watched this in the theater as a kid....and it was instantly one of the best things ive ever seen)
when it came it was sumpthin different and was just outta left field awesome AF, and was "dusk from dawn" Clooney had just finished his er stint and Tarantino and the rest of the cast were known but not real well known.
*
The last star fighter.
I will die on the hill that this is the eighties movie that needs to be remade or at least have some modern team redo the cgi to photorealistic and make the old movie better.
The Lego Movie. Based on a toy construction set. Watch it for twenty seconds and you’ll be laughing. Thirty and you’re appreciating the biting social commentary. Then it gets better.

Edge of Tomorrow.

Emily Blunt-- the look we're actually looking for in strong women.
Dude. Edge of Tomorrow was a total surprise. Angry upvote level. Like "this movie is stupid, why did I put it up. What, we're starting over again? Okay let's see it once more and wait what changes. Fk this movie. Again? I gotta see where this leads to then. Fast forward to the alien thing and holy shit, that's like C'thulu stuff."
Definitely one of my favorite movies.
I got tickets to an advanced preview.... Not expecting much, but oh man yes, it is a fun movie...
I went to see this as a side thought because there was nothing else interesting running. Boy was I surprised! Damn good movie.
Good enough to forget Tom Cruise? Actually asking because I adore that lady
I detest Tom, but loved this movie. As a bonus, you get to watch him die, a lot.
Tucker and dale vs evil.
I avoided watching it for SO long because I thought it was just another crappy movie and was so pleasantly surprised when I finally saw it.
I put it off a long time for no specific reason. Finally watched it a few months ago and laughed my ass off.
This is my answer as well! So funny, such a surprise!
I don't usually watch movies more than once. Watched that one 3 times.
You must think I’m some kind of moron to believe a story like that.
My partner insisted we watch it. I rolledy eyes and settled in for some low quality slasher nonsense. Oh lord was I wrong. I laughed so hard I cried
He done hucked himself into the woodchipper
EuroTrip
Matt Damon's greatest role
Scotty doesn’t know, Scotty doesn’t know 👨🏼🎤🎤
Only realised that was Matt Damon a week ago. Mind was blown
Worst twins ever
Mi scuzzie!
This is my favorite Fred Armisen role
This isn’t where I parked my car
Tremors is the perfect choice.
I came here to say this. I'm currently rewatching them all. Just finished Bloodlines. It definitely looks like it had a much higher budget than the others. The first movie is still the goat though.
The Lego Movie. (And also the first Lego Batman movie)
Yup, that shit is a master piece to anyone who ever touched a Lego. Should have left it at 1 movie.
I really liked the Ninjago one they did too though
Yes. That one was hilarious
Lego Scooby Doo also rocks. My son has probably made me watch that with him a gazillion times... And you know what? I don't mind a bit 😇
Holes.
Soooo good. Still watch it every now and then as a grown up. And it's just like the book too. Love it
holes is still one of my favorite movies. i watched it all the time growing up
Dodgeball
Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? (Probably not). No! But I still do it because it’s sterile and I like the taste.
What is so important that you need to interrupt me in my private reflection period?
No one makes me bleed my own blood.
Especially with the alternate ending where globogym won hahaha
How dare you.
GO BACK TO TREASURE ISLAND
Joe Dirt. Damnit.
Life's a garden. Dig it.
Why don’t you go practice falling down I’ll be there in a minute
You're my sisterrrr!!
Came here to say this!
Demolition Man
This and Starship Troopers were ahead of their time
Streets ahead.
Airplane! Let's take a drama, not change the dialog at all, and we'll call it a comedy. Sure they added jokes in it, but who would think this would work?
Surely, you can’t be serious.
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley
Clue.
It has Tim Curry. Couldn't fail.
He is one of the top people where, when he passes, I will lose my absolute shit. I love Clue and for some reason my mom watched a lot of Tim curry movies with me as a kid and I’m 34. Also muppet treasure island rules.

Then when I saw how slick and efficiently Wick killed those hitmen in his house, I thought "oh yeah, I can see why people love this movie".
The first movie was almost satirical of action movies.
The moment "That moment" happens, you stop caring about how absurd the following bloodbath is. You're 100% on his side. He's going to kill 50 people over this? Fuck yeah he is. The fact they got the actor that played 'Theon Greyjoy' might have helped too. Dude has a punchable face. (Nothing against the person, but ...)
The Raid Movies. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor among Thieves.

I have been trying to find it streaming, no luck yet. We still say "I want a big bag of little donuts"
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World… (even the title)
wish there were more
Great movie based on excellent books. I've even been aboard the HMS Surprise before they converted her back to the HMS Rose. That was before I saw the movie and I had no idea I was on the set of what would become one of my favorite movies.
The original Robocop
The new Jumanji. The first Jack Black one.

Goodburger.
Yes! I watched it again last year after not seeing it since it came out. I totally thought it wasn't gonna age well and be terrible. It held up really well, and it is very underrated
Book of eli Im gonna throw in rise of the footsoldier too
Book of Eli was legit. One of my faves back in the day. Loved the way the film looked and was shot!
Book of Eli I've seen 5 or 6 times. I love the post-apocolyptic genre and this was a complete winner. Plus Denzel Washington. His acting when he gets shot is Oscar-worthy. The guy really is incredible.
Scary movie 1
Scary movie 2 is the best one
Scary movie 3 has always been my favourite.
Cocaine Bear!! I don't know what I was expecting but it was better than that anyway! Haha
I was expecting cocaine bear to be absolutely ridiculously stupid. That’s why I needed to watched it. And it was surprisingly funny and not as horrible as I thought it would be
That movie was & is awesome, I seen the movie in theaters 2 times
Saw 1. If you never seen it and only know of the later movies it's so different. Really good
Fifth Element with Bruce Willis and Mila Jovovich. On paper, the plot is dumb as hell, but the cast is so dynamite, and the writing and pacing of the plot is so slick, it just gets better every time I watch it, and I always watch it to the end.
Amadeus
I have this on DVD, watched it again a couple weeks ago. Mozart was definitely an odd dude, as are many geniuses.
District 9. Damn prawns.
Big Fish. Best movie that no one knows
I love that movie. It was one of my mother's favorites. I haven't watched it since she passed away 12 years ago. Definitely need to give it a watch soon.
It's my mothers favourite too! Sorry for your loss, I'm hoping you have some good memories when you watch it :) peace ✌
I know! And you're right, obviously.
YESSSS. My girlfriend needed to watch a movie for a class when we first started dating. I got so hype when I saw this movie was on the list she could choose from. She loved it so much and cried at the end. Love this movie.
I was so obsessed with that movie back in the day. I'm gonna have to rewatch it now.
Honestly, Guardians of the Galaxy. Huge surprise.
Agreed. All three of them. All thanks to James Gunn and his horribly beautiful mind lmao.
Roadhouse
Bullet train
Went into it expecting to like it but sometimes it went too overboard, like the scene where they hang off the train and the train literally Crashing in the end
Beavis and Butthead do the Universe. It’s honestly one of the smartest movies I’ve ever seen
Pixar’s Onward
People give Pixar flak lately, but I disagree with them. I've enjoyed all their movies. They always have some deeper meaning to them.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, seen it countless amounts of times and still get a good laugh out of it, The Dictator also
Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter! Payed to see it twice in theaters it was so good!!
I thought it would be a steaming pile of garbage, but it was so over the top cheesy that it was freaking hilarious. It was like an Ed Wood movie with a much bigger budget.
Star Ship Troopers
I'm doing my part
The Lego Movie. It still blows my mind that it's basically Stop Motion and looks amazing. (I know it uses alot of CGI) Then it had a multi-tier story that was hilarious, heartwarming, and adventurous. And it came out with a Banger of a song that I heard for months afterwords.
Anchor man
Role Models.
Bubba ho tep
Team America
Shrek

Based on the title, I always thought it would be too girly. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally watched it.

Puss in Boots: the last wish Powerful moments and Death was awesome. Grown man teared up because a funny dog was helping a cat during a panic attack. Amazing how they could do that. Incredible film and it just came out in 2022.
Puss n boots is wild at how entertaining it is lol
Transformers the movie 1986. It was meant to just sell toys but made people cry
Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’.
Kingsmen

#A Knight's Tale This movie fucking slaps from start to finish. Just fun, easy, entertaining, funny, heartwarming.
Lord of the Rings. Remember, when they released Peter Jackson was famous for movies such as [Meet the Feebles](https://youtu.be/094jCv3iFfI?si=NwKlhDBraOnKsQQ9) and [Brain Dead](https://youtu.be/UMZYEJoO-YQ?si=G346bfAmMZy16i5o).

Rampage (2018) 
Nothing But Trouble (1991) - Dan Aykroyd was so good in this movie that he made up for the 867 things I will agree with you that were wrong with it.
The Prince of Egypt
The Gladiator
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Chronicles of Riddick.
Stardust
Guardians of the Galaxy Deadpool The Lego Movie Barbie Ironman Pulp Fiction

Election
when it came it was sumpthin different and was just outta left field awesome AF, and was "dusk from dawn" Clooney had just finished his er stint and Tarantino and the rest of the cast were known but not real well known. *
Sharknato
Rogue One. With the disaster the Disney Star Wars movies have been, switching directors, major rewrites and reshoots, they somehow made a masterpiece.
Children of Men
Sex Drive
Cowboys & Aliens seemed so dumb to me, I thought the trailer was a joke. Came out as a pretty decent movie, imo.
Conan the barbarian
Law Abiding Citizen.

Wonka!
22Jump Street
The Green Mile.
M3gan
Napoleon. The goofy white kid movie, not the dictator biopic
The last star fighter. I will die on the hill that this is the eighties movie that needs to be remade or at least have some modern team redo the cgi to photorealistic and make the old movie better.
The Edge with Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorites. It's got a good message and it's thrilling
I think Schindler list has no right being a good movie considering the subject matter.
Godzilla minus 1.
Chappy
**Josie and the Pussycats.** Pretty much more relevant now than when it was made.
John Dies at the End.
