Movies Better Than They Have a Right to Be
 

Are there movies you like but feel you shouldn't or they don't deserve the credibility you give them?

Moulin Rouge for me. Let's take a look at it. A musical about a colorful brothel; in the early 1900's where they cover 1960's-90's pop songs for a more broadway/stage feel, and has a cheesy romance story that gets hokey and predictable in the end.

From a first look at that, that's the kind of movie that might scare my family away. However, it was well directed, the musical numbers were actually quite good (everything's better with the When the Levee Breaks drum riff), and the cast was great. 84/100, but I can easily see this being a very intolerable film.

I made this thread to see if anyone else feels this way about a movie, so I hope it raises some interesting discussions.

The Room.

Sweet Home Alabama.

It just sucks though, doesn't it. I enjoy some terribly films for comedy value (such as Troll 2) but I don't get that at all with The Room. Had to stop watching 40 minutes in, and I don't know how I lasted that long.

I think I even messaged Roxy about how awful it was at the time :laughing: There's like three terrible sex scenes in the first 20 minutes without changing location. Awful stuff.

I enjoy the movie for how bad it is but at the same time, people give it praise for being one of the best worst movies ever made and I hardly think it's worthy of such a title. At one point maybe I thought that but it's become a strange phenomenon to consider the film great. It's a fun watch and very quotable but the fanbase that surrounds it can be annoying at times.

Movies have no rights

What a coincidence:

Which The Room are we talking about? The 2003 one of the 2015 one?

There is only one "The Room".

There's Room (very solid film based on an equally enjoyable novel, it was released last year) and then there's The Room which needs absolutely no introduction.

I feel this way about anything starring Kevin Spacey; he has a way of spinning movie **** into movie gold.

I also must confess, I have a soft spot for Guy Ritchie movies, especially "Snatch"... This might just be my favorite-ever scene by Gary Oldman...

Kevin Spacey... The Usual Suspects is golden.

Chelsea, you need do some some homework girl.

Not Gary Oldman. Alan Ford.

In my defense, that's just what Oldman would look like with the same special effects makeup/props.

. . . um, no.

I could try to pretend I feel that way about some films because I like to be able to play along, but . . . <shrug> :shycouch:

Plus same glasses and they're both old white dudes.

I feel obligated to make another "all old white men look the same" comment.

I feel obligated to say "**** you" again. :finger:

Don't take it too hard Chula. That means that you look like, for instance, Mick Jagger.

And Rush Limbaugh.

And Rush.

Yeah, Chula, that ain't so bad. And since Jagger has one foot firmly grounded on this side of death and the other foot in the afterlife, just imagine the total sum of groupies both living and dead, who still love Mick long time.

Mick Jagger?

Watch Mick is Pointing, Pointing, Pointing at Himself From Saturday Night Live - NBC.com

And Dick Cheney.

Ok, now that was way below the belt ****er.

You have no rights. Sheeple.
