5th Element.
One of, if not the best action flick of all time.
Multipass
Super green!
Leeloo Dallas Multipass!
FYI, in theaters in November for a couple days. Maybe it’s at a theater near you! I bought my tickets a month ago lol. Love the movie.
I love this movie! So much fun.
I submit both Crank and Crank 2 as the best, most self-aware action movies of all time.
Shoot em up should be on that list imo
The Princess Bride, obviously.
When I was a kid, I watched this and Labyrinth so much. I’m pretty sure I have both on dvd if not bluray. I feel like I need to pull them out.
Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.
The pacing of these movies is great. There’s really no part of either I’d fast forward.
You have a name, Guy…
Do I!?!
Maybe you’re the picky comic relief guy?
By Grabthor’s hammer, I have to agree.
Die Hard is the best Christmas movie. My son demands we watch it every year.
Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, LOTR, Akira, Blazing Saddles, The Matrix, Shaun of the Dead, Friday, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I’m going to guess you’re about 40.
Because that sounds a lot like my list.
Hahaha, you got me. I’ll be 39 in a few months.
Idiocracy. Cracks me up every time I rewatch it.
Welcome to Costco, i love you.
Yes, yes, yes. I don’t get to watch it often these days, but it’s always so much fun. Now go away, I’m baitin’.
Rat Race, The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Mars Attacks, Constantine, any Riddick, any Resident Evil, any Alien, any Matrix, any Predator, Equilibrium, Gattaca, District 9, and a lot of others I can’t remember at the moment because I’m quite drunk.
Upvoted for The Blues Brothers! “We’re on a mission from God.”
Best movie soundtrack ever.
Even Matrix 4?
Hot fuzz
By the power of Grayskull…
Serenity
As well as the whole firefly series. Watches them all annually.
Oh, if we’re doing more than just the movie…
…the one TV season, sure, and the Dark Horse & BOOM! Comics, 8 novels, and a bit over half a dozen Board Games; including The Original, Adventures, 'Misbehavin, Fluxx and a few others as well.
I have no difficulty admitting to be a little bit of a fan here.
The classics. Back to the Future trilogy, Ghostbusters, Kung Pow, Terminator 2, there’s so many!
Kung Pow
I’m just a birdie too.
THAT’S A LOT OF NUTS!
I’m falling! You’re falling! We’re falling!
…WHALE
“Alien” (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart… but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.
I love all alien movies but I always fall asleep at the first one. Maybe I was too young and need faster movies.
I think I should watch it again. Wasn’t there a remastered 4K version, lately?
Dunno. I’ve got it on Blu-ray… that’s… 4k…? I’m not sure.
Is it “2024-new"? I thought I read about a remastered version from this year.
Fifth Element
Any Lord of the Rings.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
LOTR: The Two Towers
Primer
Antitrust
Hackers
Star Trek: TMP
Scarface
Hot Tub Time Machine
Primer messed my brain up for years. I love it!
Primer timeline according to xkcd:
I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don’t have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn’t even sad about it, he’s basically like screw those guys that I’ve built my life around I got my messed up friends back.
The rest of the movie is pretty good though.
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.
Red teaming is probably less interesting cinematically now.
I’ll watch anything in this genre though so don’t let my skepticism slow anyone down from trying
Sneakers
How have I not watched this for years? I used to have it on VHS and watched it so many times. Mainly because I was in love with River Phoenix and heartbroken when he died.
I need to find somewhere to stream it.
Think i saw it on Freevee or Tubi just last week. Oooorr maybe not. Just looked and couldn’t find it. I know I saw it available free with ads somewhere cause I’d just talked about it with someone and then noticed it was available.
Aaaarr
Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?
Heck no!
(Updated post for clarity)
- Naked Gun
- Airplane!
- Men in Tights
- Down Periscope
- La Soupe aux choux (Cabbage Soup from Louis de Funes)
- Oscar
Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.
Naked gun and airplane are GOATS
Down Periscope for sure!
