    There are days when I can't decide if my favorite movie is Braveheart, Aliens, Nusicaa, Terminator 2, or...

    The Big Hit.

    The Big Hit always wins.

    What about the quick and the dead? It's got Sharon Stone and Leonardo Dicaprio being an arrogant dick but... I love it so!

    I routinely watch that movie just to see [spoiler:db82bc1bac]Gene Hackman shoot Leonardo Dicaprio.[/spoiler:db82bc1bac]
    I am renting this movie today.

    Does it count if you loved it as a kid, but feel afflicted watching it now? If so, I'd say Neverending Story. (Just the first. Never saw the others)

    Also, what about movies that are just considered atrocious among all of your friends? I seem to be the only one in my crowd that loved Fear and Loathing.

    I actually like Hackmans Herod villain more then his villain in Unforgiven, if only because it allowed Hackman to be more over the top, but at the same point very human.

    Oddly, all of those thoughts had entered my head before. If only I had a bull horn and a thing of mace.


    Still, most all of them do think that is a horrible movie.

    Ooh!

    Seriously, why couldn't they get actors for that movie? The dialogue actually made parts of me retract into my body, and seeing Thora Birch whore herself out would SEEM to be a good thing, but nope, here it's just embarassing. Also, Jeremy Irons clearly has a meth problem. He needs our help.

    Worth it even if only for a surprising performance by Martin Short. But IMHO everything about this movie is almost spectacular. It's probably the most accessible Arthurian film that isn't targeted only at kids.

    that movie was such a let down. Se second one was a lot better in some ways but the low budget and cheesyness was just too much:

    *shudder* Happily I and another friend were busy when all the rest went to see that movie so we were forewarned of the horror. Properly prepared we went to a midday matinée. As the only ones in the theater we happily mocked the movie viciously from beginning to end.

    We inadvertently did the same to Decaprio's three musketeer's movie.

    So I was thinking back on bad movies some and I remembered an old favorite. American Ninja. It is one that I think I'd be scared of watching nowdays.

    Under Siege.
    most Steven Seagal movies are terrible, but this one had Tommy-Lee Jones and a battleship. Plus some funny and quotable dialogue.

    The sequel sucked, though (primarily due to the lack of Mr Jones and USS Missouri)

    The second one was much more watchable.

    It's still bad, though. Me and a friend watched this, pretty much pointing out random ridiculous stuff they did in the context of a D&D game.

    Talking about best lines in movies:

    "... and I'm all out of bubble gum!!"

    Yeah, there's no way this is a bad movie. It's got the greatest lines ever and my favorite fight scene of all time. And the guys beating the shit out of each other are FRIENDS.

    Ok, I've gotta go see this movie now. brb
    Just finished watching this, this movie is pure ownage.

    The only reason I like this movie is for the space battles, which are actually pretty damn good and the special effects, other than that......yeah.

    Wing Commander admittedly had some damn impressive battle sequences.


    The fact that Starlancer was practically based off the movie's battle scenes helped a tiny bit.
