Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.
And it’s got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you’re gonna have a good time when he’s involved.
It’s quite highly rated.
I especially like that it goes beyond the “Wait, I can explain!” meme; they have genuine chances to unravel the problem, but the victims just don’t buy into it.
alan tudyk has been so abused, and wasted by many passed around networks hes a good actor just to promote another actor or movie or genre. resident alien was cancelled recently too.
This is a movie that forces you to examine your biases.
One of my favorites. I think about it all the time
I should have known if a guy like me talked to a girl like you, somebody would end up dead.
Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.
Spacey ruined so much…
now everytime hes in an old movie , hes only this good because his inspiration comes from SA young men/underage males.
The old one you never heard of.
“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.
“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”
Mr and Mrs Smith is one of my favorites.
Come on, let’s talk about this! You don’t want to go to bed angry!
Great soundtrack, too.
Always a fun watch when I need a dose of action-comedy
Gran Torino
The Man From UNCLE (2015)
Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer chewing up the scenes, nice fast paced plot, fun and engaging.
A real shame it’s a Guy Richie film, but since I don’t pay him when I watch it I really don’t mind 🏴☠️Mea culpa edit: I confused Guy Richie and Russell Brand. I’m dumb and Guy didn’t deserve that. Sorry for the confusion and also go watch The Man From UNCLE. While your at it, go find Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, where (funny era) Steve Martin does a film noir mashup movie flawlessly
Best spy movie since pre-Craig Bonds for sure. Nobody likes funny spy movies anymore :(
i can definitely recommend the new OSS 117 movies if you want more of that.
They’re both great, but I’m not sure how fun they are with only subtitles though.
very. dujardin is an incredibly expressive guy.
Hundreds of Beavers
I feel in the minority on this. It felt like watching someone else play a video game as a plot.
The ideas were OK, but the slapstick seemed crazy childish to me. I just did not get into it at any point.
Like I didn’t think it was just ok, I was pretty actively turned away by it.
Could be just not in my style, but it was the first time I’ve watched something and completely misunderstood the hype. I can listen to music or watch movies & tv shows and not be that into it but understand it. Succession was that way. Wasn’t for me, but could see the appeal.
Hundreds of Beavers was just awful for me personally.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Ford
That movie is a legitimate work of art in which every performance is understated and every frame could be hung on the wall of any gallery. But because it’s quite long, and because nothing gets blown up, no one really paid any attention to it.
I genuinely only know about three people IRL who have seen it, and I’m one of them.
I happened to catch it on tv late one night, it was really good.
Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.
Street Fighter is terrible, but Raul Julia’s performance is actually great.
Raul was so sick during filming, but gave it his all because his children would be happy
I don’t think cowboys and aliens is terrible, but i quite often think about how much potential the idea had, and how little they used it.
I saw Cowboys and Aliens in theaters and I loved it. It was such a unique movie at the time and it is very entertaining.
It’s up there with Abraham Lincolm: Vampire Hunter with me.
Silly concept. Flawless grounded execution.
I haven’t watched that but I should. Sometimes those weird unique movies hit just right.
Sneakers message still resonates strongly today
Better Off Dead outside the band of most 80s teenager comedy movies
Paycheck I thought it was a fun sci-fi that most people missed
The Great Escape not underrated back in the day, but not very well known now
Seconding Paycheck. One of the few Affleck movies I like.
I’ll third it. The premise alone is awesome; they invent a time machine, but you don’t travel in time, it’s more like a telescope that lets you observe the future.
Based on a story by Phillip K. Dick. But sadly, having read the story first, the movie became a huge disappointment (for me).
Sneakers is a lot of fun, but there’s one scene that just irks me. In the beginning of the film, the main character is picking up a check from a bank teller after their “white hat” elite team stole (then returned) untold millions from the same bank. The teller cuts him a check and asks what he does. He gives a short explanation and he says “it’s a living”. She looks at the check and back at him saying “not a very good one”. It’s clear that she’s a low level employee and there were 4 or 5 people on the crew, and she’d have no idea how much work went into the job. Even at minimum wage, it would have been a pretty nice paycheck and she would have had no idea whether it was a good amount, nor whether it was just one guy getting paid the amount on the check. The comment makes no sense.
Not sure if it’s underrated or just not well known, but “The unbearable weight of massive talent” was so insanely good!
Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story
Great biopic parody that just keeps on giving. For me, Tim Meadows will always remain Sam, saying “not once.” It helps that his other roles are also goofy, like the ARGUS dude in Peacemaker.
This movie was such a perfect parody that it killed the music biopic genre for a while.
“Wrong kid died.”
I liked him in every role he played. He’s so funny, even if he seems to play the same character over and over
The Net (1995)
I love The Net, it’s a decent thriller even if janky by todays standards. I saw it as a kid some years after release, and the tech side of it was absurd even then. But the core plot is basically Hitchcock like, and Sandra Bullock is good in it. If you can let the silly tech side of things go (it was made when the Internet was a new concept even to users, so it does get things wrong), it’s actually a decent enough plot.
Ok why
It’s from a time the new era started to take off while most ordinary people (and filmmakers) had no idea what was really coming. Nor did they really understand any of it. Like Hackers this makes The Net extremely interesting to watch, it’s not good, but it just keeps on giving!
Good movie, good acting, and even though the tech was absolutely silly the core concept is still as valid today as it was 30 years ago.
Repo! The Genetic Opera
The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.
Plus you get to see Anthony Stewart Head sing while mutilating people.
Ok that convinces me. That man sings so well
Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of my favorite musicals. The music is great, the story is great and the dancing is great!
Ronin. I don’t know exactly why, the mood just feels right for a neo noir ish thing.
great movie, best magiffin ever
Predestination. Ethan hawk mind fuck.
Probably bc the Heinlein story it’s based on is crazy
