Wanderlust - Paul Rudd "Ima puts my dick in" scene

Absolutely hilarious in an otherwise forgettable movie

Life savings on the line that Mickey destroyed it for 2 weeks straight in his trailer.

I think 13th Warrior is a legit good film, but I do agree that the end scene is the best part of it.

Maybe not excellent, but the only part of the movie I found actually funny.

In the Mouth of Madness is an ELITE cosmic horror film.

I rewatched Troy Recently. I was thinking of making a thread discussing movies that seem like they could be better but looking deeper if it was possible. The original inspiration was after watching Devil's Advocate for the first time a few weeks ago.

Troy held up a LOT better than I remembered.

most would be incorrect - Troy was fantastic.

Rogue One and Solo both opened with a massive negative stigma to them because of the other shite - both moves are good

Phantom Menance Maul fight or pod race. Avatar scene riding those dragon horse things; Avatar II that whale thing coming to the rescue. I was going to say the final scene of The Field when the old woman chastises Richard Harris but that whole movie is actually pretty damn good. Check it out.

more of a sequence really, but the opening 10 minutes of "Jeeper Creepers"
grabbed your attention for sure.

and then the rest of the movie happened.

Elysium.....the scene where Max and Julio shoot down Carlyle's shuttle to steal the data. The mix of CGI and practical looked really good at its time..still holds up. The whole movie is a bit of guilty pleasure for me but that scene in particular is very cool.

In 2004, Troy was a huge disappointment when compared to contemporary epics like Gladiator, LOTR, and Braveheart.

Now, it stands out as almost master cinema compared the 99% of the shite released in theaters.

The sequence in The Tomorrow War when Chris Pratt returns from the future and sees his young daughter.

The rest of that movie was a mess, but damn, that scene was an emotional sledgehammer in the feels. If that didn't make you tear up, I question whether you have a soul.

agreed but what a horrible ending.

i loved 95% of that movie then the ending was so bad it almost ruined the entire thing.

I thought Superman kicking the Justice League's arse in Justice League movie would get an early mention.

I was kind of referring to the hate it gets, but I agree, I love this film for the most part. I think it’s pretty good. It knows what it is and is just pure comic book fun (even the stupid parts).

Vampires has its moments, mainly due to James Woods’ character being an a-hole.
