I haven’t seen it. So I couldn’t tell you if I liked it.


Or if it totally sucked.

The Dark Knight
Awesome movie, but yeah I think 4 all-time might be a little high. I do think it's the best superhero movie of all time if you want to put it in that genre

I hate 12 Monkeys and Fight Club. I just don’t get the hype and love for them both.

Apocalypse Now and Reservoir Dogs.

AN was boring and pointless except for the really awesome assault chopper scene.

RD just never got me. It was like my 4th QT film. Just didn’t do it for me.

This raises an interesting question:

If you were the same age as an actress when she was a minor in a film and thought she was hot then, does it make you a creeper if you still think that way about that actress in that same role after you've gotten older?

add this to my list. I was in a Jack Nicholson love phase at the time I saw it also. It just didn’t stand out to me.

. Maybe. I don’t still fantasize about Who’s the Boss Alyssa Milano though.

Deadpool. I found it to be really annoying and unfunny.

Yep. Thought is was underwhelming myself. And not as true to the comic Deadpool as everyone seems to believe.

It tries too hard to be funny/irreverent/controversial. Didnt even bother with the sequel.

I thought The Hangover was overrated. It was funny, but for me didn't live up to the hype I was expecting. And I completely hated zack galifanakis in it.

Isn’t John Wick basically a retelling of the story of The Punisher?


It was a rhetorical question. The answer is Yes, of course it is.
@ those who DV my simply asking the question.

Bad take, man.

I hated it the first time I watched it. Now I laugh all the way through it.
