2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Necessary Roughness and Major League 3. It's the Bacula fan in me. "Wally, get up, people are watching. Not many but people are watching!" "If this wasn't frickin astroturf, I'd dig a grave here for myself!" Necessary Roughness is such a great movie. Scott Bakula owns your asses and you all know it. Plus come on, Jason Bateman as the rich boy starting running back? How do you TOP that? Answer: Sinbad as the star defensive end! As for me, I gotta go with Buckaroo Banzai and for some reason the movie Screamers. Maybe it's just because Peter Weller rules the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Twister. Not because it gets no love or hated on, but because I'm pretty sure there are few who compulsively watch it whenever its on and have seen it as many times as me. Blast From The Past is a great movie that even Alicia Silverstone couldn't ruin. Brendan Frasier runs house in that flick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 "Angel Heart - I think this is Mickey Rourke's finest performance." DeNiro and the treatment of his character is the only thing that really holds this back me. Way too cheesy and obvious in both performance and writing, an even more obvious and stupid injoke from DeNiro(I wander who he could be doing an impersonation of?), and than there's the glowing eye nonsense. A more subtle approach would have been welcome. Other than that, a fine hidden gem. Rourke is awesome, supposively the scene where he's interogating the guy and violently stabbing at a block of ice scared the hell out of the actor and set workers for real. As for me, I'll try to stray from little known but well praised movies or those with too large of a cult base: Commando Stone Cold(THE badass action movie.) Crossroads Ginger Snaps Seed of Chucky The Last Tempation of Christ(fuck the Passion) Karate Kid II Exorcist III(shit studio tampering aside, a true hidden gem) A Nightmare on Elm Street III Hills Have Eyes remake Violent Cop to name a few....

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 The Craft: The supernatural "Can't Hardly Wait" of teen movies (in terms of well known actors/actress' appearing). It involves Skeet Ulrich, Fairuza Balk in her breakout role, an early Neve Campbell, Rachel True, a young Christine Taylor, an early small role for Breckin Meyer, and Robin Tunney. Powder: Just a cool premise that unfortunately isn't as fulfilled as it could have been. Sean Patrick Flanery is really great as Jeremy Reed and it also involves Mary Steenburgen, Lance Henriksen in a non-horror movie role, and Jeff Goldblum who rocks as he always does ( ).

Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 "Why would people hate that film? Its awesome." The film's critics like to point out that it's when the franchise went from horror to over the top goofiness and one liners. Apparently, they never saw the first two films. I actually think its the best of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man - Such a badass movie. Probably the most "guy movie" I've ever seen but Rourke and Johnson are awesome in it and it's all out fun. The Immortals - Little known mid-90's action movie with Eric Roberts, Chris Rock, Tony Curtis, William Forsythe, Joe Pantoliano, Clarence Williams III and Tia Carrere. Weird cast but a pretty fun movie (even if parts of it make little to no sense). Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - This movie gets a lot of hate for various reasons (Costner's accent, the theme song) but it's a perfect summer blockbuster in my opinion and Rickman is all kinds of awesome. Above The Law - Everyone hates Seagal but his early action movies were awesome. Simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 If RH:MIT is considered a movie people don't like, then I'll agree with liking that one. I think Ghostbusters II is ok. I think Short Circuit 2 is awesome. I don't mean "OMG 80s nostalgia! This is clearly Toronto but they're calling it New York! Look at the CIBC and Mr. Sub!" good (although that's part of it), I really think it's a funny movie. I think the first one is a bit dull and Michael McKean > Steve Guttenberg. I've seen the second Mortal Kombat film and the Street Fighter movie several times. I don't really like them, but I do watch them on TV (and own them on VHS) without the need to yell "quick, change the channel!". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Hey now, who doesn't love Dirty Work? It's my favourite film of all time The "Dead Hooker" scene is the best dead hooker joke in the history of cinema. Anyways, some others Street Trash (Six words: Hot Potato with a severed penis) Body Melt (Has a jumbled plot, but still a blast. Also the only movie I can think of were a guy dies because of his own mucus) Dagon From Beyond Blood Diner (OOP 80's horror comedy. Must be seen to be believed.) Night of the Comet Shivers Cabin Boy ("You wanna buy a monkey?") I Drink Your Blood (70's exploitation horror with a cult of satanic hippies. Incompetent, but a total blast.) Martin (Little seen George Romero movie. Also one of his best) My Little Eye The Roost (fun 70's and 80's horror tribute) Abominable (see The Roost) Junk (Japanese zombie movie that feels almost like the best Italian zombie movie never made.) Cabin Fever (I'm probably the only man on Earth who loves this movie.) Carnosaur (90's DTV movie that manages to rip off Jurrasic Park and Alien. Features some of the worst special effects in history, hippies getiing shredded, and Clint Howard telling gross stories to people in a diner.) Super Mario Bros. (I don't care what anybody says: Dennis Hopper as Koopa=awesome.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 I didn't know there were people that didn't like dirty work. I need to add Bedazzled too. Brendan Fraizer as multiple characters had me laughing pretty freaking hard. Armegeddon - apparently people hate this movie. Waterworld: People just hated on it because of the budget. It was a big hit, and one hell of a fun action movie. Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves- one of the first movies I bought on DVD. and The Postman - Yeah, I am fully aware of the sheer dumbness of that movie, but fuck that son. I still like it. So yeah...I think Kevin Costner gets a bad rap sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea why I like it so much, I just do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Yeah, put me down for The Postman, and to a lesser extent Waterworld. Postman was great with Will Patton chewing scenery like it was his last role. Costner sorta slept threw it, but the rest was inspired. With Waterworld, insert Dennis Hopper over Will Patton. No fucking way Commando gets mentioned. That's the quintessential Schwarzenegger movie. Anyone who doesn't like that movie deserves a pole through the chest. Fire Down Below is super great. Marg Helgenberger, Kris Kristofferson, and Steven Segal not allowing anyone to get the better of him ever. If Robin Hood Men In Tights is allowed, then Hot Shots Part Deux must get love. "I had to come. It was a sequel." Oh, and Josey and the Pussycats is a fucking tremendous movie. Oh, and Loaded Weapon I. Oh, and MAVERICK. I don't care if Mel is nuts, he's still the most charming motherfucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
