We all get the Godfather, Star Wars (which was terrible btw) and Titanic. All legendary movies for many. But there were plenty that never got the box office acclaim. In this thread, we give it. So here you go.
This was a great movie, yeah it had its 1980s cheese factor, but it really was a good movie if you can remove the 3+ decade delay. Great scene, I'd watch it if I were you, Uncommon Valor.

Wow. Nothing.
Can't remember the last time I've seen a thread be outright ignored on PFA, I mean even the dumbest ones get a Jussie meme or something.
Didn't think I'd see the day where you would have fallen off this hard, but father time comes for us all.
In the spirit of charity, here's some participation:

Tightly edited hitman movie where Joaquin Phoenix wields a hammer.
Roger Dodger
His advice to a young Jesse eisenberg is priceless

I might have posted this clip before, not sure, fuck there are only like 25 people that post here anymore so who cares.
Mr. Teasdale was money. Sorry he got clipped. Great scene to a great movie.

Red Dawn (1984) is one of the best movies of ever.Quote:

My favorite period of movies by far
2007 is not the right answer for best movie year ever, but it had a fucking dynamite quartet of:
No Country for Old Men, There Will be Blood, Michael Clayton, and Zodiac.
If you've seen and liked any of the above four, I'm nearly certain you would like them all.
Is Total Recall a top 10 all time movie? I think it is
"Brain Donors", a comedy from 1992, was produced by the Zucker brothers, and was expected at first to be something big. However, the Zucker brothers left for another studio before it was released, leaving the film in production hell, and it ended up never being promoted. It ended up making less than a million dollars at the box office, and obviously lost money for Paramount, which left it for dead.
It was a funny movie, though, and deserved far better. If you liked the Marx Brothers, and wanted to see them updated to the '90s, you'll like this:

The correct answer is Idiocracy. Hilarious. Prescient. Sneaky clever. Should've been a blockbuster.

Or this one...

Ever see "Overnight"? It's documentary about the screenwriter of Boondock Saints. Fantastic stuff. Basically the dude went from rags to riches and became an insufferable asshole so his friends turned on him and produced this documentary to drag him.Quote:

Great movie:

Fairly sure i can find 10 movies i wouldn't mind re-watching out of every year in the 90s.
Just the last 3 years going by https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-l...movies-of-1997 the first 10 for 97...
The Fifth Element, Starship Troopers, The Devil's Advocate, Jackie Brown, Donnie Brasco, L.A. Confidential, Con Air, Boogie Nights, Grosse Pointe Blank, Cop Land... finishing on top 29 and omitting Titanic, Good Will Hunting etc...
...https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-l...movies-of-1998...
American History X, The Big Lebowski, There's Something About Mary, The Wedding Singer, Wild Things, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Half Baked, Dark City, Ronin... finishing on 42 and omitting Saving Private Ryan, Rounders etc...
...https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-l...movies-of-1999...
Fight Club, American Beauty, Cruel Intentions, The Matrix, The Boondock Saints, Being John Malkovich, Dogma, The Talented Mr. Ripley, American Pie, Go... finishing on 42 and omitting Office Space, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut etc...
...i can barely come up with 10 movies that i would re-watch from 2010-2019 and Tropic Thunder(2008) is about the last comedy i would re-watch.
There was some shift in talent moving to TV-shows, but that can't really explain why the last decade of movies have sucked so bad.
