I love a lot of so bad it's good movies like Neil Breen's stuff, The Room, etc. but for this question I would have to go with Freddy Got Fingered. I have a bad movie night pretty often where I invite all my friends over to come drink and watch bad movies and we've watched FGF multiple times over the years, it always gets the best reactions lol.

There are plenty of cases where unrelated movies have the same title. For instance, there are 4 Project Xs. There's one about saving chimps for a lab, a house party out of control, a political documentary & a spy movie. What's the title with the most movies if we don't count stuff like Dracula where it's because they have the same source material?

I was watching The Matrix lobby scene and thought, wow, considering John Wick,Keanu has killed a lot of people in his movies. I’m curious what other actors might fit that description. And I am specifying “onscreen” kills to try and limit answers like thanos or blowing up Alderaan. I also want to limit the scope to only include movies and not TV shows. Or perhaps you can answer with only tv shows. And not movies…………………………………………………

I'm 40 years old and checked it out this morning, the perfect movie for a lazy Sunday morning. I'm not sure why I avoided this one for so long. Right out of the gate, the opening hostage scene at the grocery store pulls you in with its serious 80's action movie vibes. Whereas a movie like Commando purposely hit you with funny one-liners, Stallone's sleepwalking expressions through this movie allows his one-liners to come across with a more serious intention. We learn absolutely nothing about Stallone's character other than the fact that he means business when taking out bad guys. And the main henchman in this flick, I swear was a bad guy in every other 80s and early 90s movie. At times, this movie reminded me of a horror version of Robocop. Looking it up, looks like it came out a year before Robo. There were some serious horror vibes in this movie, especially the hospital chase that reminded me of Halloween 2 with Michael Myers. Cherry on top is when Brigitte Nielsen's character asks Stallone's character what he will do next after getting through this ordeal, and he says something like, probably work on another case.

One of my very favorite movies is Unfaithfully Yours; not too long ago I also watched A Shot in the Dark which I loved. (I'm tempted to also list Naked Gun, but I feel as though Leslie Nielson's character is a tad bit too competent for the purposes of this post). Do you guys have any other film recommendations along those lines? I'm looking for major Wile E. Coyote/Team Rocket energy here.

EDIT: OMG YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I just watched Wrath of the Titans and remembered how damn generic a fantasy movie this was. Clash was a bit too, but Wrath took the piss with it. Nothing about this movie screams antiquity in the slightest. Bill Nighy was basically just Jetfire from Transformers 2. Villain is a big rock lava monster. The small monsters are literally the Chitauri?

I finished the movie 20 minutes ago and I could not tell you what happens in the first third of it.

It’s riddled with 2010s era action movie tropes. Hero saying “oh come on, you gotta be kidding me!” Dafuq. I don’t need him to speak Ancient Greek but can Perseus please not sound like a Will Smith hero circa 2005? If Perseus had said “I’m putting together a crew for one last job” it wouldn’t have felt out of place for this movie.

Can you guys think of some movies as generic as this? Like just one predictable trope or line after another, no soul to the story, interchangeable monsters, etc

I only saw this movie this past December and I'm obsessed. It's such a tight script, almost nothing goes to waste. The cinematography and editing is excellent. There's so many details that every re-watch you could notice something else. Here's the arrested kids from the pub with their names!

I could talk about this movie for ages.

We all complain about how modern trailers have a tendency to spoil everything about the movie except maybe the big twist or the ending, and sometimes even those are not safe. Which is why it's surprising when something completely unexpected happens in the movie, not because it's something actually unexpected, but because the trailers and marketing completely omitted it. Sometimes even entire characters will be mostly absent from the marketing but turn out to be more important than some celebrities in the film that got top billing. Often this isn't even intentional, the people in charge of marketing just prioritized other things.

So what plot points/characters were you surprised weren't spoiled by the trailers?

What's the perfect hook? Obviously Inglorious Basterds is the first thing that comes to my mind for me. To me it's the perfect intro and dare I say it, is better than the rest of the movie.

I'm going for Magnolia as second. Not as obvious but still stellar.

What's yours?

Edit: Adding Youtube links to your favourite intro clips here.

The Raid (2011) starring Iko Uwais is one of my top 5 favourite action movies. Once the action starts, there's no fluff, it's just none stop action for the entire rest of the movie.

What are some other great movies which fits the 'once the action starts, it does not stop'?

Letterboxd list I'm compiling:

For me its:

Dredd (2012) - once he's inside the building, it's just floor to floor action. I often watch The Raid and Dredd back to back as a double feature movie weekend.

Rambo (2008) - once Rambo enters action mode, the rest of the movie is just rip and tear.

Born to Fight (2004 - Thailand, by Panna Rittikrai of Ong Bak, and The Protector) - terrorists takes over a village, then the rest of the movie is the villagers fighting back, with one fantastic action scene after another.

I did some research and came across an actress named Maria Riva, who appeared in a 1934 film—The Scarlet Empress. It’s fascinating to think that someone from a movie that old is still with us.

Am I correct, or do you happen to know of an even older movie that features a living actor? I’d love to learn more about this topic if there are other cases like this.

PS: The actor doesn’t necessarily need to be active in the industry anymore.

My son is in 7th grade and he just got finished with WW2 in history class and they spent only 2 weeks on WW2 which is mind boggling. I get that time is limited and WW2 is complex and it’s my job as a parent to teach him even more. So what are some movies that are for the most part historically accurate about the war? I’m open to movies from all different countries as well, thanks!

Original Title: What are some Legendary Deleted Scenes that have never been released that you’d LOVE to see? One that I can think of is the so called “Camelot” scene in Spielberg’s War of the Worlds. It was cut so late all the cgi had been finished.


I would LOVE to see this scene. It takes place late in the film, as Tom and his kids are travelling on foot, they encounter a tripod ripping people out of their homes. It was a late cut and so all the VFX by ILM had been completed. There’s a few pictures of it So why not include it on the dvd/blu ray? Anyway what are some other unreleased deleted scenes you would love to see?

I'm not going into detail with endings. Just asking for movie suggestions that leave you feeling upset. Not a happy ending. Just straight up slaps you around unexpectedly.

I'm going to list examples of movies with this type of ending below that I have seen and absolutely loved - which is why I listed the spoiler warning... So, heads up - they don't have the happiest of endings 😅 BUT if you HAVEN'T seen any of these films, PLEASE DO:

The movies:

  • Memento
  • Upgrade
  • Ex Machina
  • The Prestige
  • Prisoners
  • Se7en
  • One Hour Photo
  • The Mist
  • Interstellar
  • The Butterfly Effect
  • The Bridge to Terabithia
  • The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
  • District 9
  • No Country for Old Men

Original Title: I'm watching Source Code again and it made me wonder how is it that you get a director that makes inventive science fiction movies like Moon and Source Code and just cannot make another good movie again? I've seen this with many directors and I don't get it.


I legitimately thought when Duncan Jones made those two movies he was the Ridley Scott of that generation of directors. Just wildly entertaining but smart science fiction movies that were ridiculously tightly made. And after seeing Warcraft and Mute it just feels like a different filmmaker I've seen this happen with Neil Blompkamp who has had like 2 or 3 comeback attempts as well and it's not hitting. It's weird.
