Outside of being a Christmas tradition, Home Alone is pretty horrible.

Lol, to be honest with you, I never really understood the strange infatuation people had with it either. And the sequels are some of the worst movies ever made.

How? It isn't trying to be anything other than how the previews presented it.

Read my unfinished over-analyzing Home Alone thread then. It's pretty great when you actually start to ponder that it could actually happen.

Kingdom of Heaven was awful, if I recall correctly. Maybe I should give it another shot.

Director's cut improves Kingdom of Heaven substantially.

Taken, while awesome, is definitely stupid. It's in the Rocky IV zone.

Kingdom of Heaven is really good I thought. I haven't seen the directors cut, but I hear it is tons better than he theatrical version.

What Dreams May Come (54%)

Tons of comedies.

Beerfest and super troopers are around 40% for example.

It has the worst actress, Melissa McCarthy, and the worst actor, Jason Statham, in the same film. How in the fricking frick is this horrible looking film a 95% on rotten tomatoes?
