re: Movies that were better than you thought they would be

all time, it's gotta be 'the terminator' for me. saw it in the theatre, and the only reason i did was because the movie we wanted to see was sold out & we didn't have anything else to do. going in, i thought it was gonna be a cheesy POS....hell, even the name 'the terminator' sounded like a lame title for a movie. funny thing, there were maybe 15-20 other people in the theatre at most, and many of them were there for the same reason as our group was (man, i sure wish i remembered the name of that movie, lol). long story short, by the time the movie was over, ALL of us were cheering & hi-fiving. i know we all did our part getting the word-of-mouth out, and i'd like to think we did our small part in helping give the movie the legs it needed
