Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.
And it’s got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you’re gonna have a good time when he’s involved.
It’s quite highly rated.
I especially like that it goes beyond the “Wait, I can explain!” meme; they have genuine chances to unravel the problem, but the victims just don’t buy into it.
I showed it to my mother, and learned we had a family member that died in a chipper shredder accident. That was awkward. She wasn’t a fan.
alan tudyk has been so abused, and wasted by many passed around networks hes a good actor just to promote another actor or movie or genre. resident alien was cancelled recently too.
This is a movie that forces you to examine your biases.
One of my favorites. I think about it all the time
I should have known if a guy like me talked to a girl like you, somebody would end up dead.
Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.
Spacey ruined so much…
now everytime hes in an old movie , hes only this good because his inspiration comes from SA young men/underage males.
Gran Torino
The old one you never heard of.
“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.
“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”
Mr and Mrs Smith is one of my favorites.
Come on, let’s talk about this! You don’t want to go to bed angry!
Great soundtrack, too.
Always a fun watch when I need a dose of action-comedy
Hundreds of Beavers
I feel in the minority on this. It felt like watching someone else play a video game as a plot.
The ideas were OK, but the slapstick seemed crazy childish to me. I just did not get into it at any point.
Like I didn’t think it was just ok, I was pretty actively turned away by it.
Could be just not in my style, but it was the first time I’ve watched something and completely misunderstood the hype. I can listen to music or watch movies & tv shows and not be that into it but understand it. Succession was that way. Wasn’t for me, but could see the appeal.
Hundreds of Beavers was just awful for me personally.
The Man From UNCLE (2015)
Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer chewing up the scenes, nice fast paced plot, fun and engaging.
A real shame it’s a Guy Richie film, but since I don’t pay him when I watch it I really don’t mind 🏴☠️Mea culpa edit: I confused Guy Richie and Russell Brand. I’m dumb and Guy didn’t deserve that. Sorry for the confusion and also go watch The Man From UNCLE. While your at it, go find Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, where (funny era) Steve Martin does a film noir mashup movie flawlessly
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s wrong with Guy Ritchie?
Wondering the same…I love his films so hopefully nothing too crazy
Eta: I would’ve thought armie hammer would’ve been the problem person in this movie
See my op edit and also my reply above
tl;dr: I’m a big dumb dumb that can’t remember names no good
No worries, that actually makes feel better
Oh crap, I’m so glad you asked, because I went back to Wikipedia to see why he’s such a bastard.
Turns out I was thinking of Russell Brand. My memory for names/faces is…less than ideal. I’ll edit my original post with a clarification and apology
Phew, well shit happens. Luckily I don’t have to add Ritchie to the blacklist this time.
Best spy movie since pre-Craig Bonds for sure. Nobody likes funny spy movies anymore :(
i can definitely recommend the new OSS 117 movies if you want more of that.
They’re both great, but I’m not sure how fun they are with only subtitles though.
very. dujardin is an incredibly expressive guy.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Ford
That movie is a legitimate work of art in which every performance is understated and every frame could be hung on the wall of any gallery. But because it’s quite long, and because nothing gets blown up, no one really paid any attention to it.
I genuinely only know about three people IRL who have seen it, and I’m one of them.
I happened to catch it on tv late one night, it was really good.
Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.
Street Fighter is terrible, but Raul Julia’s performance is actually great.
Raul was so sick during filming, but gave it his all because his children would be happy
I don’t think cowboys and aliens is terrible, but i quite often think about how much potential the idea had, and how little they used it.
I saw Cowboys and Aliens in theaters and I loved it. It was such a unique movie at the time and it is very entertaining.
It’s up there with Abraham Lincolm: Vampire Hunter with me.
Silly concept. Flawless grounded execution.
I haven’t watched that but I should. Sometimes those weird unique movies hit just right.
Waterworld and Postman
Waterworld slaps, considering checking out Postman on your recommendation but kinda biased against book adaptations
Those are the same movie, but one has no land and the other has no water.
Waterworld is amazing. I ordered the Arrow blu-ray release the day it came out. Having an HD, official release of the Ulysses Cut is pretty cool.
Waterworld is awful - definitely not underrated.
Pontypool, great concept and execution for a low budget horror, Canadian zombies with a twist
The Man from Earth low budget sci-fi about a guy who’s been alive for thousands of years, mostly just character development and story telling through actually story telling.
Deep Blue Sea 3, 1 was great b movie shark horror, 2 was garbage, but 3 knew it was on the back foot and just goes all in, not a great movie but after 2 definitely underrated.
genuinely shocked the movie i was gunna comment already here at the top. i am so tired of zombies, and pontypool is the movie i point to whenever i tell people they don’t always all have to be the same
If you like your zombies different, you might like Pluribus.
Sneakers message still resonates strongly today
Better Off Dead outside the band of most 80s teenager comedy movies
Paycheck I thought it was a fun sci-fi that most people missed
The Great Escape not underrated back in the day, but not very well known now
Seconding Paycheck. One of the few Affleck movies I like.
Sneakers is a lot of fun, but there’s one scene that just irks me. In the beginning of the film, the main character is picking up a check from a bank teller after their “white hat” elite team stole (then returned) untold millions from the same bank. The teller cuts him a check and asks what he does. He gives a short explanation and he says “it’s a living”. She looks at the check and back at him saying “not a very good one”. It’s clear that she’s a low level employee and there were 4 or 5 people on the crew, and she’d have no idea how much work went into the job. Even at minimum wage, it would have been a pretty nice paycheck and she would have had no idea whether it was a good amount, nor whether it was just one guy getting paid the amount on the check. The comment makes no sense.
Troll Hunter
Pandorum
Troll Hunter is brilliant!
I really liked Pandorum. It was weird.
Not sure if it’s underrated or just not well known, but “The unbearable weight of massive talent” was so insanely good!
uwe boll’s postal.
don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the worst, most disgusting films ever made. it’s like if john waters was a conservative. but there’s a certain… something to it. there are little details that didn’t need to be there that shows some enthusiasm and care for its making.
like there’s this one scene where the protagonist goes over to his uncle’s sex cult compound and finds him asleep in just an open bathrobe with like seven naked chicks, right? and the dude wakes him up and he has to push them off of him. and as he crawls out from under the blonde sleeping on his crotch, they’ve added a little *plop* sound effect as her head moves away from his dick. like, that’s funny! and totally unnecessary.
Me and my friends used to hate watch uwe boll movies, and postal was certainly the best of his bad movie repertoire. One day we accidentally had the audio commentary on, and that was a game changer. Holy shit, uwe boll talking about his movies is so unhinged and funny. Not because he is actually funny, but because of the things he says and how often he talks with or about his dogs in the room. Like he says things like: we found this fat chick for this role and i liked her, but then we found another fat chick from my name earl, and she was 10kg’s fatter. He kept saying: mein name Earl, and we were never able to say it correctly ever again
There’s some interview quote where Uwe Boll says Leatherheads is a “completely unnecessary movie” and while he’s no Hitchcock I get exactly what he means and that will live in my head forever
If anyone likes postal they should check out Troma stuff like nukem high and toxic avenger, real cheap gross out movies but they make such weird choices sometimes it’s hard to forget
i think if anyone likes postal they should probably keep it to themselves
Repo! The Genetic Opera
The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.
Plus you get to see Anthony Stewart Head sing while mutilating people.
Ok that convinces me. That man sings so well
Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of my favorite musicals. The music is great, the story is great and the dancing is great!
