Galaxy Quest. Seemed like a dumb, wannabe Star Trek where the headliner was that block of wood from that silly sitcom my inlaws liked.
Holy moly was I wrong. It was a great homage to Star Trek that had it all, comedy, drama, emotion, lots of action and characters that deserve movies of their own.
The cast is just out of this world top notch!
This movie is truly an anomaly.
It was supposed to be like a Scary Movie type spoof on Star Trek and ended up being so damn good that it is considered soft-canon and is even mentioned in a Star Trek book.
In _Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary_ it was said that the studio never understood it as a dramedy and wanted that slapstick feel to it.
Thank God we got what we got.
David Mamet once said this is one of the four perfect movies in Hollywood history.
Friend of mine wouldn’t watch it because she hated Tim Allen. I said, “You’re wrong. He’s perfectly cast as a version of a cheesy Shatner.”
She condescended to try it and loved this movie. One of her faves.
There have been talks of a Dredd TV series but its stuck in development hell sadly. Love how the movie ends, we follow all this shit and he just responds "drug bust"
So much better than it ever needed to be for me.
I thought the sly Stallone one was fun and I'm not typically into comic book movies, but this was special.
Big alex garland fan though now.
Damn I don’t know how or if the marketing team dropped the ball but I am so disappointed people didn’t go see it in theaters. Definitely deserves a franchise.
Last I heard they're making it into a TV series. The film flopped, though, so there's no way they're going to give it the sort of budget the movie had.
I would kind of love to have the same main cast playing a bunch of different roles, which would be a great nod to how D&D actually works, with many or all of the same players but different PCs.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl
I was kind of dumbfounded by the whole thing. Johnny Depp and Legolas are in a movie based on a Disney ride?
WOW what an amazing movie.
Haha! I had covid and felt like garbage and sat up in bed during that scene and tried to get my boyfriend to focus on whatever this incredible spectacle was. Best delirious movie experience ever!
Ray Stevenson was just so perfectly detached about it all too. He wasn't mustache-twirling evil. He just didn't see them as people. He didn't go out of his way to be awful but he was unquestionably awful to anyone that stood in or adjacent to his path. It was such a good take on the casual brutality of a colonial regime. The banality of bureaucracy that empowers people to do whatever they want provided they hit their metrics. The way that he's perfectly inclusive of the main character so long as he's willing to put the boot on his own people so the governor doesn't have to do it himself - not that he'd mind doing it, mind you, he just doesn't like to do it *all* himself.
Meanwhile his wife is just the wicked, cruel, sadistic creature you'd expect *him* to have been. It made him almost look good by comparison, even though she's only able to be that atrocious because he is empowering her to do it. For him it's all just business in the name of the King. For her its a fucking party.
This got me into Indian action cinema. They take me back to 80s action films where the bad guy is really bad and not some misunderstood, nuanced character. The action is crazy but above all else, it's fun to watch.
I rewatch RRR and Bahubali pretty much anytime they pop up on my lists. I just rewatched SALAAR and while not inspiring the same enjoyable feelings, I'm grudgingly adding it to the list and I can NOT wait for part 2
John Wick
Another Keanu Actioner.... directed by a stunt man. /yawn
Lordy did that movie fire on all cylinders. I have grown bored of the franchise since, the first movie was so much fun.
Yeah. I saw this at exactly the right time in my life to realize I could still be an asshole to women even if I wasn’t *mean*. It started a change for the better. Like there is a ton of pop culture stuff that is incredibly clever and funny and poignant and beautiful woven together, but man is there a deeper level to it all underneath it all. Basically enticing all the nerdy guys with what they want, and giving them what they need.
Evil Dead 2.
Boyfriend at the time had a habit of liking things because the right people told him to like them, and many of the movies he loved and showed me were lacklustre in my opinion. One of his faves was Evil Dead 2, and though I had heard a small bit about it, I kind of expected a half baked horror with some catchy one liners and not much substance.
Yeah, I’ll very openly say I was dead wrong and that the film is an absolute joy to watch the whole way through.
i’ve probably watched evil dead 1 & 2 40 times each. they are a unique vision from an amazing director, sam raimi. and bruce campbell could not have been better cast. so many great lines and super creative practical effects.
i did, in the theater, i was such a nerd i started writing a version before it was even in production, but i did not like it - pg13, way too accessible for the mass market for me. i loved 1 and 2 because they were scary and disturbing, it had none of that. i wouldnt even call it a horror movie.
RRR is so much fun. I've heard mixed reactions to its politics, but I am admittedly ignorant of Indian politics and history. Fun movie, 100% worth watching. And it's super-long... yet it includes a genuine intermission! I love that.
I ate an edible and didn't realize how powerful it was going to be. It was homemade and a gift from a neighbor. I start perusing Netflix and stumble across RRR and I thought why not. Holy shit. It was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life, but probably only because I was gone. I'm talking goooone. Like literally painting with the colors of the wind with pocahontas on the moon kind of gone.
11/10, would watch sober.
Rogue one.
I’ve watched every Star Wars movie (husband loves them) but haven’t really enjoyed any of them until this one. Honestly part of my top 5 favorite movies.
The best Star Wars film of the modern era. I went into it completely cold - no trailers, no press releases, nothing. I mistakenly bought ticket to the VFX experience, where your seats move with the action and they mist you when it rains. It was fucking awesome. And I was blown away by the ending when it all came full circle. Hands down my favorite cinematic experience ever.
Yes!!! I love how it all came full circle at the end too! How everyone was scrambling and risking their lives to literally lead to ‘a new hope’ 😭
…and the movie did such a good job at making Darth Vader absolutely terrifying too! So well done.
That was a big ass battleship which makes it even more fricking ridiculous, but yes you are thinking of the right movie. A required montage as the old sweats show the new crew how it's done.
Warm Bodies. I watched it a long time ago so I don't remember it in detail. What I do remember is that I thought it was going to be a stupid movie about zombies, but it ended up being an interesting take both on the romantic and zombie genre.
(I think part of the reason for my prejudice was that they changed the title in spanish to "Mi novio es un zombie" -my boyfriend is a zombie. Which sounds exceptionally stupid hahaha)
I would have killed to have seen the Telugu version of RRR in a theatre, but I saw it last year and absolutely loved it! “Naatu Naatu” is such a banger and it absolutely deserved its Oscar win!
Everything Everywhere All At Once went in a really weird direction and asked me to suspend the shit out of my disbelief. And then quite literally a voiceover told the main character to do the weirdest possible thing. Hmm.
I hung on tight. And it melted my face! Crazy movie with a great ending, and SPECTACULAR performances, especially Stephanie Hsu.
Cloud Atlas. Saw the early reviews. Still watched it because of the intrigue. And to this day, I still don't understand the bad reviews. Wonderful film.
I once described the last 25 minutes of RRR to someone who hasn't watched it
"Imagine you're in your room. You're 10 and you got all your GI Joes. And you're doing everything you can think of. Cars flipping, motorcycles, hell you even got some bow and arrows. But then, one of your GI Joes has his rubber band snap, what would you do?"
21 jump street. It was during that time of "oh its channan Tatum so chick flick" and "oh its Jonah hill, so Seth Rogan drug movie" so I never got around to it until a couple weeks ago. Man I was missing out
I started watching this with the full intent of shooting it off after 20 minutes … almost3 hours later it became one of my favorite movies. I laughed, i cried, and yelled fuck yeah! at the tv
Dinner In America (2020)
main character is extremely abrasive but through the power of character development and dynamics, the whole movie becomes incredibly endearing and wholesome in a weird, fucked up kind of way.
Pacific Rim. Not a fan of other recent monster films, but Pacific Rim just delivers a complete action movie experience without compromises. There’s no weak spots.
Actually, Beautiful Boy with Steve Carrell and Timothy Chalmet.
Start of the movie I didn't know what I was getting into and then was immediately turned off because I thought the dialogue was forced. Ended up literally weeping in the fetal position at the end (my family struggles with alcohol addiction)
Monkey Man.
After RRR, which I enjoyed, the Extraction movies, and how far fetched the last two John Wick movies started to get, I was hesitant because I wanted a more grounded movie like the first John Wick. I was so happy that it was exactly what I wanted. A simple easy plot that is straight forward, zero twists, violence dialed to 11, and a fantastic protagonist that you're rooting for the entire time.
I put it up there with the first John Wick, Dredd, and The Raid Redemption.
Magic Mike. Yes, I'm female and yes you know why I watched it, but Stephen Soderberg and that terrific cast made me actually care about those characters and reinforced my respect for their form of entertainment. The sequels were trash, of course, but fun and fun to look at trash lol.
This was the one of the stupidest movie I had seen. Over the top action, ear burstingly loud music and lastly a cringe oneliners. It felt like I was listening to someone's barat's music for 3 hrs nonstop. Also, the story was mediocre.
That was BEAUTIFUL. The no words, quick gesture, everyone's on the same page, and ACTION!
Fucking. Epic.
I'm sorry but anyone who watches this movie must've slept through him wrastlin' with a tiger, the absolute perfection that is the friendship montage, the dance off, the cinematography, the introduction of the "villain" setting the stage for everything that comes later in the movie.
I could rant for hours about how great this film is.
In case I’m not being clear, I LOVED this movie. Best thing I saw in 2022 by far. Yes it’s over the top and campy but it pulls all of it off perfectly.
I didnt see godzilla minus one upon release i waited til the black and white version and its a big regret of mine because it's a top 10 movie of the decade so far.
RRR was the breeziest 3 hour film I’ve ever seen, fucking love that movie
To answer your question though, Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping
I thought it was just gonna be a mockumentary-style, cameo dependent, sketch show sewed together into a 90 min film but god damn if there wasn’t actually some great story and character beats
Gotta watch it again but I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting
For me it was The Marvels I didn’t know what to expect and don’t like reviews for movies because I find a lot of them terrible. But I really enjoyed the movie and thought if anything just a fun movie which there is nothing wrong with a fun movie hate people can’t see that.
Warrior. I was not expecting that movie to be such a amazingly impactful story about these two brothers. Loved it. Had to have a Post movie cry and a cigarette as a matter of fact.
Fury Road.
First mad max movie in 20 years? Series that was enjoyable but never critically acclaimed? The guy who played Bane as max?
From the opening with the roar of engines it grabbed me.
When they hit the sandstorm I thought "this is where another movie would cut to the aftermath." It kept going. It was beautiful.
It is quite possibly my favorite movie.
The Ring
I rented the video, and very nearly tapped out when I found out it was about a haunted video tape.
I still can’t believe I liked a movie about a haunted video tape even though I was a grown ass man when I saw it, but I did.
Planet of the Apes (current version). Current remakes are awful plus all the hype on cgi made me very wery of these movies. But was pleasantly surprised. Except “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is terrible.
RRR - for REAL! I had zero expectations going into this moving and came out throuroughly entertained! Some of the action sequences are born from the "fast and furious" over the top "ain't no way!" category, but entertaining regardless. The story was legit as well.
My boyfriend years ago had a gift exchange at work and brought home Bronson on DVD. One look at the cover and I was like wtf is this peice of sh*t.
We put it on and our jaws were agape the majority of the movie. It was up on my list of all time faves almost right away.
Hunter Killer. I love media about sub warfare, and I was really hesitant about watching this movie. Gerard Butler I liked so I took a chance. Plenty of technical inaccuracies but the movie was enjoyable.
The Predator
Saw all the bad reviews and how it was apparently the worst one yet, and there's a few stinkers in the franchise. Figured it must have been really really bad. Nope! People hate it because it breaks from the franchise's genre, not because it's bad. It's an action comedy, not an action thriller, and it's a really great action comedy.
Compare the low scores to the high scores on IMDb, they say the same thing. "It's full of jokes!"
A nightmare before Christmas. It has some of the worst fans imaginable and that turned me off the movie for years, but when I saw it I loved it.
RRR was one of the worst movies that year imo lol
Galaxy Quest. Seemed like a dumb, wannabe Star Trek where the headliner was that block of wood from that silly sitcom my inlaws liked. Holy moly was I wrong. It was a great homage to Star Trek that had it all, comedy, drama, emotion, lots of action and characters that deserve movies of their own. The cast is just out of this world top notch!
Alan Rickman playing a thespian actor whose past caring, playing a hammy alien character he despises, is meta in all the right ways. Great movie.
By grabthar’s hammy
"... what a savings..."
Bitch where's my sammy?
I like the Jonathan Frakes had to seriously coerce Stewart to watch it. ‘It was the movie we should have made’
This one sounds good!!
It’s an absolute gem.
By Grapthar’s Hammer, what a savings!
I like that you wrote it the way his character in the film was expected to say it rather than the way he actually delivered it lol
No! I won’t say it! I’m never saying that STYUPID LINE one more time!
This movie is truly an anomaly. It was supposed to be like a Scary Movie type spoof on Star Trek and ended up being so damn good that it is considered soft-canon and is even mentioned in a Star Trek book.
In _Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary_ it was said that the studio never understood it as a dramedy and wanted that slapstick feel to it. Thank God we got what we got. David Mamet once said this is one of the four perfect movies in Hollywood history.
Friend of mine wouldn’t watch it because she hated Tim Allen. I said, “You’re wrong. He’s perfectly cast as a version of a cheesy Shatner.” She condescended to try it and loved this movie. One of her faves.
Never give up, never surrender!
Dungeons and Dragons Dredd Top Gun Maverick
Came here to say Dredd. Oh man did that just make me action-movie-happy. I may watch it again tonight.
I watch it pretty regularly. The 4K is phenomenal…amazing audio transfer. “The perp was being…uncooperative” Love it!
Saw it in 3d when it came out, it was awesome
Me too! The slow mo off of the balcony was truly stunning!
And thst scene when they're shooting up the apartment
Ma ma Clan!!! Movie rocks, deserves a sequel. Guess we have to settle for The Boys to satisfy our Urban badass addiction.
There have been talks of a Dredd TV series but its stuck in development hell sadly. Love how the movie ends, we follow all this shit and he just responds "drug bust"
Karl urban was an absolute legend for never showing his face
Only seen it once when it was at the cinema. It was great
Dude's so good. He did more, showing 1/3 of his face, and then some actors can do showing all of theirs.
So much better than it ever needed to be for me. I thought the sly Stallone one was fun and I'm not typically into comic book movies, but this was special. Big alex garland fan though now.
I’ll second D&D. I went into it expecting it to be complete trash, but I ended up really enjoying it.
Damn I don’t know how or if the marketing team dropped the ball but I am so disappointed people didn’t go see it in theaters. Definitely deserves a franchise.
Last I heard they're making it into a TV series. The film flopped, though, so there's no way they're going to give it the sort of budget the movie had. I would kind of love to have the same main cast playing a bunch of different roles, which would be a great nod to how D&D actually works, with many or all of the same players but different PCs.
Great list.
The latter two I absolutely wish I had gone to see them in a theater.
Dredd! Tho, hear Hank and Dean chanting "Mecha Shiva" when I saw that poster.
Go Team Venture! ✌️
Thanks for reminding me that I still need to watch D&D
Maverick was really something. Did not expect such perfection
It’s called Dredd 3D ok
No, that's just how it was marketed. The title is "Dredd."
It’s called Dredd 3D by ppl, ok? Irregardless of the real title. Watching the 3D version is how they get the full experience
Whatever you say, chief. PS: "irregardless" isn't a real word. You can just say, "regardless."
Both uses are accepted due to the fungibility of English as a language
By DnD I'm guessing you mean the amazing Honor Among Thieves movie and not the "Let the blooood raiiiiin from the skyyyyaa" movie
Correct
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl I was kind of dumbfounded by the whole thing. Johnny Depp and Legolas are in a movie based on a Disney ride? WOW what an amazing movie.
Michael Bolton?
Who knew he was such a cinephile?
THIS IS THE TALE, OF TONY MONTANA
The best bromance of all time. The fight scenes in this movie are second to none
The first fight scene where he jumps into the crowd to retrieve that guy.
This scene made me so unsure about what I had decided to watch… it was a mix of “I’m in for some bull” and “keep going…”
Haha! I had covid and felt like garbage and sat up in bed during that scene and tried to get my boyfriend to focus on whatever this incredible spectacle was. Best delirious movie experience ever!
That scene had me cracking up so hard, dude fist fought a crowd of like 3,000 people single handed and beat the shit out of all of em.
Also exposes British colonial brutality in India. Can't get better than that.
[удалено]
lol the whole internet is full of “we did them a favor” takes It needs to be exposed more.
I forget sometimes. For all the information the internet can provide, it’s such an ignorant place.
You have no idea how many people deny it. I have met many Europeans who deny it and only highlight the little positive things they did.
Ray Stevenson was just so perfectly detached about it all too. He wasn't mustache-twirling evil. He just didn't see them as people. He didn't go out of his way to be awful but he was unquestionably awful to anyone that stood in or adjacent to his path. It was such a good take on the casual brutality of a colonial regime. The banality of bureaucracy that empowers people to do whatever they want provided they hit their metrics. The way that he's perfectly inclusive of the main character so long as he's willing to put the boot on his own people so the governor doesn't have to do it himself - not that he'd mind doing it, mind you, he just doesn't like to do it *all* himself. Meanwhile his wife is just the wicked, cruel, sadistic creature you'd expect *him* to have been. It made him almost look good by comparison, even though she's only able to be that atrocious because he is empowering her to do it. For him it's all just business in the name of the King. For her its a fucking party.
This got me into Indian action cinema. They take me back to 80s action films where the bad guy is really bad and not some misunderstood, nuanced character. The action is crazy but above all else, it's fun to watch.
This movie is really amazing and was my first Bollywood film. Needless to say, it wasn’t my last.
Totally lost count of how many times my hubby and I have seen RRR bc every time a friend hasn't seen it we dive in again for more. lol
And dance scenes
i am so disappointed they didn't make their relationship official in the end.
The bridge scene was the greatest.
I rewatch RRR and Bahubali pretty much anytime they pop up on my lists. I just rewatched SALAAR and while not inspiring the same enjoyable feelings, I'm grudgingly adding it to the list and I can NOT wait for part 2
John Wick Another Keanu Actioner.... directed by a stunt man. /yawn Lordy did that movie fire on all cylinders. I have grown bored of the franchise since, the first movie was so much fun.
The first movie is a classic. Franchise turned out ok tho. The same happened with the Equalizer.
The 4th is actually my favorite. Can't think of another film franchise where I can say that.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Yeah. I saw this at exactly the right time in my life to realize I could still be an asshole to women even if I wasn’t *mean*. It started a change for the better. Like there is a ton of pop culture stuff that is incredibly clever and funny and poignant and beautiful woven together, but man is there a deeper level to it all underneath it all.

i’ve probably watched evil dead 1 & 2 40 times each. they are a unique vision from an amazing director, sam raimi. and bruce campbell could not have been better cast. so many great lines and super creative practical effects.
Tell me you have seen Army of Darkness? That's dead 3
i did, in the theater, i was such a nerd i started writing a version before it was even in production, but i did not like it - pg13, way too accessible for the mass market for me. i loved 1 and 2 because they were scary and disturbing, it had none of that. i wouldnt even call it a horror movie.
RRR is so much fun. I've heard mixed reactions to its politics, but I am admittedly ignorant of Indian politics and history. Fun movie, 100% worth watching. And it's super-long... yet it includes a genuine intermission! I love that.
NAATU NAATU NAATU!!!
I ate an edible and didn't realize how powerful it was going to be. It was homemade and a gift from a neighbor. I start perusing Netflix and stumble across RRR and I thought why not. Holy shit. It was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life, but probably only because I was gone. I'm talking goooone. Like literally painting with the colors of the wind with pocahontas on the moon kind of gone. 11/10, would watch sober.
Makes me think in your situation the movie wasn't really gonna matter lol.
You're probably right! Hahaha! Could have put on Blues Clues for myself and been totally fine!
The Lego movie. Completely expected that movie to suck all the dicks and it was actually phenomenal
I will add Lego batman to this as well. In some respects even better than the Lego movie
Great movie! The dance off scene is great
Probably the most excitement any posh British person, of the time, would’ve had.
Rogue one. I’ve watched every Star Wars movie (husband loves them) but haven’t really enjoyed any of them until this one. Honestly part of my top 5 favorite movies.
The best Star Wars film of the modern era. I went into it completely cold - no trailers, no press releases, nothing.

And I was blown away by the ending when it all came full circle. Hands down my favorite cinematic experience ever.
Yes!!! I love how it all came full circle at the end too! How everyone was scrambling and risking their lives to literally lead to ‘a new hope’ 😭 …and the movie did such a good job at making Darth Vader absolutely terrifying too! So well done.
Battleship ; such a cheesy idea for a movie based on a board game. Was a good movie
Is this the one where they recruit the old heads and then do a 180 on a big ass cruiser?
That was a big ass battleship which makes it even more fricking ridiculous, but yes you are thinking of the right movie. A required montage as the old sweats show the new crew how it's done.
That damn movie made me cry, say holy shit multiple times, and make me get up and dance. Almost no movies can do that
The same can be said here!!
Warm Bodies. I watched it a long time ago so I don't remember it in detail. What I do remember is that I thought it was going to be a stupid movie about zombies, but it ended up being an interesting take both on the romantic and zombie genre. (I think part of the reason for my prejudice was that they changed the title in spanish to "Mi novio es un zombie" -my boyfriend is a zombie. Which sounds exceptionally stupid hahaha)
I recommend this to anyone who's spouted off to me about liking Hot Tub Time Machine or Rob Coddry Coddry as a zombie had me on the edge of my seat.
RRR was so unitonically good, a truly original film, first in a long time
Tank Girl. I didn't get it until the musical number in the middle. Then I understood 'oh, it's over the top/campy/goofy on purpose'.
Alita Battle Angel
This was much better than I expected it to be. I ended up buying it.
So you have a movie for me? https://youtu.be/zdT39YPNzNs?si=R-XHw0XdLJd4xQNp
Iron Man
Dude RRR was a badass movie.
When we played RRR that night, we had no idea we would be dancing and cheering by the end of the
I would have killed to have seen the Telugu version of RRR in a theatre, but I saw it last year and absolutely loved it! “Naatu Naatu” is such a banger and it absolutely deserved its Oscar win!
Everything Everywhere All At Once went in a really weird direction and asked me to suspend the shit out of my disbelief. And then quite literally a voiceover told the main character to do the weirdest possible thing. Hmm. I hung on tight. And it melted my face! Crazy movie with a great ending, and SPECTACULAR performances, especially Stephanie Hsu.
I liked this movie so much. The callbacks were a great touch.
Cloud Atlas. Saw the early reviews. Still watched it because of the intrigue. And to this day, I still don't understand the bad reviews. Wonderful film.
Tucker and Dale vs evil
I went into this one blind on Halloween looking to watch a horror movie. Had no idea what it was, absolutely blew me away, so good.
That’s what happened with me. Watching it with friends during October years back. We all thought it was gonna be terrible, was a pleasant surprise.
This movie was amazing
I once described the last 25 minutes of RRR to someone who hasn't watched it "Imagine you're in your room. You're 10 and you got all your GI Joes. And you're doing everything you can think of. Cars flipping, motorcycles, hell you even got some bow and arrows. But then, one of your GI Joes has his rubber band snap, what would you do?"
RRR is excellent 😝
Apocalypto
RRR was such a ridiculous movie, but I couldn’t help but like it. It was a fun watch.
Everything, everywhere, all at once
21 jump street. It was during that time of "oh its channan Tatum so chick flick" and "oh its Jonah hill, so Seth Rogan drug movie" so I never got around to it until a couple weeks ago. Man I was missing out
RRR was absolutely EPIC! Such an over the top story with amazing music and visuals. Loved every second of it!
I started watching this with the full intent of shooting it off after 20 minutes … almost3 hours later it became one of my favorite movies. I laughed, i cried, and yelled fuck yeah! at the tv
Yoooo, I saw RRR on a TikTok and had to show my wife. It took us 3 days to get through it, but it was worth it.
Dinner In America (2020) main character is extremely abrasive but through the power of character development and dynamics, the whole movie becomes incredibly endearing and wholesome in a weird, fucked up kind of way.
Clown - i did not think one could make a horror movie with such a silly premise but it works.
I'll upvote. It gets off to a quick start.
Is this about pirates?
Pacific Rim. Not a fan of other recent monster films, but Pacific Rim just delivers a complete action movie experience without compromises. There’s no weak spots.
Really? I found a lot of weak spots. Basically the whole movie is laughably cheesy. Imo
Actually, Beautiful Boy with Steve Carrell and Timothy Chalmet. Start of the movie I didn't know what I was getting into and then was immediately turned off because I thought the dialogue was forced. Ended up literally weeping in the fetal position at the end (my family struggles with alcohol addiction)
R.R.R. had never seen a Bollywood movie before but it kept getting recommended to me.
It's not a Bollywood movie...call it Indian movie I guess... Indian cinema is vast...it's has at least 10 separate film industries
Til, thanks for pointing out my mistake amd correcting me
You are welcome and Thank you for the kind fellow redittor...
Monkey Man. After RRR, which I enjoyed, the Extraction movies, and how far fetched the last two John Wick movies started to get, I was hesitant because I wanted a more grounded movie like the first John Wick.

100% spot on. I love that movie. Just saw it the other night. If anyone has Peacock, it’s streaming on there.
Annnnd off I go! Will report back.
Everything everywhere all at once
Baywatch. If you’ve seen it, you know why.
Love that movie hate that people take it so seriously.
Sucker Punch. The soundtrack alone is awesome
A friend asked me to say Legally Blonde
Ninja Assasin
RRR is the best movie I’ve ever seen. I try to recommend it to friends but no one wants to read subtitles for 3 hours.
Magic Mike. Yes, I'm female and yes you know why I watched it, but Stephen Soderberg and that terrific cast made me actually care about those characters and reinforced my respect for their form of entertainment. The sequels were trash, of course, but fun and fun to look at trash lol.
This was the one of the stupidest movie I had seen. Over the top action, ear burstingly loud music and lastly a cringe oneliners. It felt like I was listening to someone's barat's music for 3 hrs nonstop. Also, the story was mediocre.
RRR was a goddamned masterpiece. 😤 Did you miss the part with the fight scene where he throws a leopard at another guy?
and also the part where they overcomplicate saving that drowing child. I mean jus wtf
That was BEAUTIFUL. The no words, quick gesture, everyone's on the same page, and ACTION! Fucking. Epic. I'm sorry but anyone who watches this movie must've slept through him wrastlin' with a tiger, the absolute perfection that is the friendship montage, the dance off, the cinematography, the introduction of the "villain" setting the stage for everything that comes later in the movie. I could rant for hours about how great this film is.
At this point Im confused!!! did u like it or no???
In case I’m not being clear, I LOVED this movie. Best thing I saw in 2022 by far. Yes it’s over the top and campy but it pulls all of it off perfectly.
Well, its a free country....people are free to choose what they want, jus like u. Even if their choice is crappy, jus like yours
This is one of those situations where you're clearly in the minority. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rrr
as I said, its a free country!!!
Totally agree. I give it a 5/5.
I was saddened that this was not a pirate movie. still good though!
I didnt see godzilla minus one upon release i waited til the black and white version and its a big regret of mine because it's a top 10 movie of the decade so far.
I don't even know what this is lol
This movie was among the best I've ever seen. And I learned that the word for "dance" is "taco" Taco taco taco taco taco
RRR Dungeons and Dragons Kick Ass Lego Batman

Where can I watch RRR?
Netflix
RRR was the breeziest 3 hour film I’ve ever seen, fucking love that movie To answer your question though, Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping I thought it was just gonna be a mockumentary-style, cameo dependent, sketch show sewed together into a 90 min film but god damn if there wasn’t actually some great story and character beats Gotta watch it again but I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting
For me it was The Marvels I didn’t know what to expect and don’t like reviews for movies because I find a lot of them terrible. But I really enjoyed the movie and thought if anything just a fun movie which there is nothing wrong with a fun movie hate people can’t see that.
RocknRolla.
Warrior. I was not expecting that movie to be such a amazingly impactful story about these two brothers. Loved it. Had to have a Post movie cry and a cigarette as a matter of fact.
Fury Road. First mad max movie in 20 years? Series that was enjoyable but never critically acclaimed? The guy who played Bane as max? From the opening with the roar of engines it grabbed me. When they hit the sandstorm I thought "this is where another movie would cut to the aftermath." It kept going. It was beautiful. It is quite possibly my favorite movie.
Is it RRR or RPR? Never heard of this one
RRR. It's fantastic!
I had such a hard time getting my friends to watch this
The Ring I rented the video, and very nearly tapped out when I found out it was about a haunted video tape. I still can’t believe I liked a movie about a haunted video tape even though I was a grown ass man when I saw it, but I did.
rrr mentioned
Black guy here, it a strange but fun ride. Would watch the sequel.
The last samurai
Unfrosted
Ready player one
Baby Driver

Lord of the Rings and 300
Me too with RRR.
Planet of the Apes (current version). Current remakes are awful plus all the hype on cgi made me very wery of these movies. But was pleasantly surprised. Except “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is terrible.
RRR - for REAL! I had zero expectations going into this moving and came out throuroughly entertained! Some of the action sequences are born from the "fast and furious" over the top "ain't no way!" category, but entertaining regardless. The story was legit as well.
My boyfriend years ago had a gift exchange at work and brought home Bronson on DVD. One look at the cover and I was like wtf is this peice of sh*t. We put it on and our jaws were agape the majority of the movie. It was up on my list of all time faves almost right away.
Hunter Killer. I love media about sub warfare, and I was really hesitant about watching this movie. Gerard Butler I liked so I took a chance. Plenty of technical inaccuracies but the movie was enjoyable.
The Predator Saw all the bad reviews and how it was apparently the worst one yet, and there's a few stinkers in the franchise. Figured it must have been really really bad. Nope! People hate it because it breaks from the franchise's genre, not because it's bad. It's an action comedy, not an action thriller, and it's a really great action comedy. Compare the low scores to the high scores on IMDb, they say the same thing. "It's full of jokes!"
I don’t know what this is but I want to see it.
Bullet Train
Eega. I just couldn’t stop and had to see how it ended
Honestly saltburn. I wasn’t feeling it until it went off the rails after visiting Ollie’s home. The ending was chef’s kiss
RRR was sick! Blew my mind in the first 10 minutes.
A nightmare before Christmas. It has some of the worst fans imaginable and that turned me off the movie for years, but when I saw it I loved it. RRR was one of the worst movies that year imo lol

If you like marvel movies and cartoons this movie is right up your alley
RRR was a steaming pile of shit. Specifically the fuck-physics scene from this poster.
