I rented a movie because it starred Linda Fiorentino and Ray Liotta, both of whom I like, and the box had some great cover art. The movie sucked, and I returned it. Then, a year or so later, having totally forgotten it, I rented it again.

The name of the movie was "Unforgettable."

I saw the Scorpion King twice, in theatres. One time it was even a fake IMAX showing with the image blown up to fit the screen. I still have no idea why I ever saw it even once.

dano85 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

I saw History Channel showing that awhile back. I had no idea there was so much smack laid down in ancient Egypt.

Battlefield Earth. One of the funniest movies of all time.

aawfan 2 points3 points 5 months ago[-]

I have it on DVD. It's hilarious. I don't know why everyone hates it so much. I think it's because, like Hudson Hawk, it was mis-marketed as an action adventure instead of a comedy.

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Hudson Hawk intended to be comic, at least... not a great film, but I liked it.

aawfan 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Can you honestly look at John Travolta in Battlefield Earth and think he intended that to be serious?

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Yes. Because of L. Ron Hubbard. No other reason. If a devout Mormon made a movie about Joseph Smith it wouldn't differ that much from what South Park aired.

Jimsus 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I saw it years ago in the theater and thought it was pointless action but not horrible. So in the mean time I'd been wondering why all the hate for it? Then I watched it again (with RiffTrax) and I built a time machine just to go kick myself in the shin for ever having anything but hatred for that pile of shit. Though RiffTrax makes it awesome, at one point they add a laugh track.

shaze 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Ditto.

What's worse is that when it came out I convinced my friends it would be the better movie, over Gladiators.

John Travolta needs to be banned from being in movies altogether.

"The Room" is an American black comedy about love, passion, betrayal and lies. I highly recomend it. Anyway how is your sex life?

Yeah so the great TW was at the showing I went to last week at the Music Box. After watching him speak at the Q&A, I'm not convinced that he knows that his movie is bad (in the best way possible of course).

Can anyone confirm / deny?

tehstealthy 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

He says now that it's a black comedy, but one of the actors anonymously called bullshit on it. He was trying to make a drama.

tommy_wiseau 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Like any art my work is subjective and everyone takes their own personal meaning to it. Some might say it has the passion of Tennessee Williams and others that it a steeple of what modern cinema represents and anywhere in between.

somesthetic 6 points7 points 5 months ago[-]

I've seen Bring It On: All or Nothing on TV over a dozen times. I watched the sequel, In it to Win it at least a couple of times as well. The first two Bring It On movies seemed to take themselves too seriously, but by the third film it just became a parody of itself. I haven't seen Fight to the Finish yet though.

Twilight. First time with friends to laugh and make fun of it, second time cuz my friend wanted to see it and paid for my ticket, third time was when it was on TV and I was bored out of my mind.

Starship Troopers. I am convinced that it is a brilliant movie but everyone thinks I am nuts.

RikkiTikkiTaavi 2 points3 points 5 months ago[-]

i love starship troopers, i'll watch it any time i see it on tnt or usa.

thedeevolution 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

On TNT or USA?! I love the movie too, but if you watch it on those channels they cut out 90% of the cool stuff in that film.

RikkiTikkiTaavi 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

i know, i saw it in theaters as well though. so i still remember all the violence and nudity.

turbo 2 points3 points 5 months ago[-]

For some reason, a lot of people don't understand the satire.

mybuttwasprobed 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Exactly. The thing is that you get the feeling it was a sort of folded satire. You know, where the director says, I am making a satire about violence and sex and the military life but I fucking love violence, sex, and the military life.

bloort 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

Try the book. The only thing the same are the bugs.

LaughingLion 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Anyone who had read and loved the book prior to seeing the film cannot help but hate the film with a passion.

[deleted] 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

The film and the novel each have their own, separate, merits.

It's not like LOTR or 300, which are basically straight transitions.

LaughingLion 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

The film's only merits are the special effects. Everything else about it is bad, and the leads are laughable.

thedeevolution 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

Starship Troopers is a masterpiece. It also makes a great double feature with Robocop. My friend had the idea that you could even argue that Starship Troopers is what the world of Robocop would eventually evolve into.

I'd watch it again. The chemistry between Kurt Russell's sexist slob and Goldie Hawn's hi-class bitch turned amnesiac mom is pure gold.

LaughingLion 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

If you get TBS, watching it again will be unavoidable.

charlesviper 2 points3 points 5 months ago[-]

She's The Man. I watched it with the ladyfriend and instantly forgot it, other than the fact that it was terrible. It was the event that led to our breakup: that day I realized we had nothing in common whatsoever. Cut forward a year, I'm on a first date. "Let's watch a movie!", she said, picking out an unfamiliar title from her DVD rack. "This is one of my favorites".

Ten minutes in I FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU'd.

I've seen Vanilla Ice's movie "Cool as Ice" at least twice a year for at least ten years because I show it to my high school class as a goof on days when we have nothing to do.

Outlander - Jim Caviezel (Jesus) is an alien, who crashes on earth, and has to fight another alien. And it's set in viking times. And it's a retelling of Beowulf.

Actually, I love this movie, now that i think about it.

You really think this movie is god awful? I don't think it is nearly as good as all the hype but it is no where near terrible. I feel like a lot of people just say this movie is bad just to go against everyone that said they loved it.

StewartDC8 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I hope you don't think everyone loves this movie and the people who say they don't are just trying to be different. I thought the movie had the plot of a porno and a mindless sex scene in it to back it up. But that's not to say i don't understand the movie. I get it. It has everything people seem to love in their films today, sex and violence.

I've watched Captain Ron many, many times. I had three months of free HBO during a semester when I wasn't taking any classes. Tough times.

Please share the rules of this game.

big80smullet 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

The dolemite game is everytime he rhymes or pimp slaps someone you must drink. Black Samurai game is everytime he kicks someone or rides in his burple lambourghini you have to drink and the Black Gestapo game is everytime they beat someone or say a racial slur you have to drink. At least i think, the rules would often change. Oh and seeing titties is an automatic 5 second chug.

Fricking Twilight. I was on a business trip and got swine flu in the middle of the panic. Couldn't fly home on doctor's orders. He told me to self isolate for three days. Cheapass hotel movie channel only had one movie, on repeat, for 72 hours... First time I watched it I cried laughing it was so bad. Second time I just cried. It went downhill from there.

darkstarohio 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

Hackers. I watch it for the lulz.

[deleted] 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Choke.

The only reason I watched it twice is because while I was watching it the second time, I actually had forgotten that I had already seen it. It took me a good 40 minutes to realize it was my second viewing.

It sucked just as bad both times.

Righteous Kill. Minority Report.

charlesviper 4 points5 points 5 months ago[-]

Minority Report was a hundred times better the second time I watched it. Not 'movie of the year', but well-written and directed.

thedeevolution -1 points0 points 5 months ago[-]

It's really good. It just suffers from Spielberg-itis. i.e., everything is resolved in the end for the better and everyone lives happily ever after. A.I. and War of the Worlds suffer from the same thing, but Minority Report is definitely the least effected by its lame ending.

Also, I love the sick sticks.

I've seen Batman & Robin a few hundred times since I own it on VHS and DVD. I love it for all of its cheesiness and one liners.

Belly - featuring DMX.

Myself and my old roommate watched this constantly for a few months. I actually watched it mainly b/c of him. He was a wannabe drug dealer and I think this movie pumped him up to go make that money.

thedeevolution 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

This is a mediocre movie as far as the story and writing are concerned...but damn is it pretty to look at. Plus, they watch Gummo at the beginning.

fuzzydice82 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I saw Sweet November with Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves twice...in the theater. First time was on a date, the second was because my dumb friends guilted me to go with them the next week saying I was "hanging out with friends." That's the last time I let my friends guilt me in to going to the movies.

Evan Almighty I seen it once in theaters with a friend cause i liked the first one. Then my friend and I leave to go to the store and he gets a call from a girl he really likes and her and a friend are going to see the movie and he resally wants to go and says if i come he'll pay for my ticket. So i went and saw Evan Almighty twice in a 56 hour period.

I've seen twister four times. All on television. I hate that movie, but one of the tv channels in my childhood played that movie twice a year for more than 3 years.

oldtymelemonade 1 point2 points 5 months ago[-]

I went to see it in the theater and walked out. It was only the second film I'd ever walked out of.

Ran4 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

What was the first one?

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)

Others have included The Invention of Lying, Sherlock Holmes, and The Green Mile.

Ran4 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Really? All those films are much, much better than twister.

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Not Robin Hood, but yes. The Green Mile was OK until the third act, which had about 47 endings. I left during the 31st ending.

Ran4 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

But what was so horrible with The Invention of Lying that you felt the need to run out? I mean, it's not the perfect film, but parts of it were genuinely funny, even thought the last 30 minutes were slow and boring.

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I wasn't crazy about it, but I left when he woke up as Jesus with the long hair. I knew where it was going and I felt embarrassed for the actors (even though, obviously, they weren't there). Up until that point it was at least watchable.

I've seen Moonraker lots of times because I talk about how it's the worst film ever made a lot and people tell me it isn't. So I watch it with them and we start to make fun of it and while nobody ever agrees with me they at least admit I have a point.

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

a lot and people tell me it isn't

A lot of people are right!

dsnmi 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I still maintain it's the worst movie every made without an excuse. All the other really shocking films had some excuse (no budget, massive star ego, studio interference etc) or some redeeming features. Moonraker has no reason to be as bad as it is and yet it's completely lacking any excitement and fails to cover up it's incredible plot holes. No redeeming feature of any kind and no excuse.

oldtymelemonade 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

I shall have to watch it again. It has been quite a while.

charlesviper 0 points1 point 5 months ago[-]

Without Moonraker there'd be no Austin Powers. For that reason, I consider Moonraker a significant element of Western canon.
