I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations... but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. "Sorry Boston but... you really ate shit this year..."

Miami Connection

Discovering it has brought me so much joy (pretty sure someone posted it here, actually). My jaw literally dropped at times as I adjusted to what I was seeing--like pure parody, but it was attempted so whole-heartedly and earnestly. The best kind of bad movie, the one that tries so hard. If it isn't peak 80's, PLEASE tell me what is so I can literally watch it tonight (if within the next ~6 minutes before I get in my jammies).

Street Kings, 2008.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is a very decent movie. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

Attack of the killer tomatoes!

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Eye of the Beholder is still one of my old favorites. Nobody I've shown it to has ever appreciated it like I do and it's not well rated. Most people appreciate my movie recommendations, but this is one of the outliers. It's 9% on rotten tomatoes 32% audience score and a 5 on IMDB

I'm uncertain of what the ratings are in general, but there's probably some horror movie I love that's been dragged.

Maybe Insidious? Paranormal Activity 2? As Above, So Below? The Cleansing Hour?

One of those probably has a shit score somewhere lol.

EDIT because I realized how lazy I was being:

Insidious has a 66% on rotten tomatoes Paranormal Activity 2 has a 57% As Above, So Below has a 29% The Cleansing Hour has a shocking 73%

So my answer is As Above, So Below. Lol But I'm startled about The Cleansing Hour having such a high rating
