There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

Liar, liar.

Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

For me it's The Matrix.

I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's a shame they didn't make any sequels. The creators probably decided it was a complete story rather than milk it to death like Star wars. Guess that's for the best!

Big Trouble In Little China.

Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.

Ghost in the shell (anime movies).

Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

THE Suicide squad. It was so good that Tim Gunn earned the right to be boss of the DCU, and has proved it again and again.

[–] PurplePixie@midwest.social 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Clue.

Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.
