There's a movie called Unstoppable (2010) with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson. It's about a runaway train causing trouble in Pennsylvania.

I've watched it no less than 30 times.

It's not like I'm into trains or anything. I just think it's a really good movie and every single actor in it is giving 100%.

DarkStar
So stupid, but if I see it pop up on any of the streaming sites, I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so.

The need for speed movie. It's not bad. I feel like the game they chose to reference is the worst and best choice for it.

Showgirls.

Additionally the VH1 TV edit is even worse. (In a bad way)

But better in a Ms paint kind of way

Das Millionenspiel.

It's The Running Man except twelve years earlier and a media satire instead of an action movie. It comments on TV phenomena that wouldn't exist in Germany until two decades later (like scripted "reality" TV). Also, it has early appearances of one of Germany's most famous TV hosts (as the show's host, fittingly) and one of Germany's most famous comedians of the 70s to 90s (in a completely serious role, unfittingly). And unlike the Schwarzenegger movie it doesn't construct a dystopian future to introduce public bloodsports but merely gives a terse reference to a "law on active recreation" dated three years after the movie first aired.

To make it even more odd, it's actually a good movie despite being from Germany and made for TV.
