yo, what's your favourite [movie] (thread)

yeah, there's something I admire about the raw cussedness of people like her and Joan Rivers, who look at the process of aging and just spend the entire rest of their lives throwing one long tantrum about it
I was already onboard with this but yeah I'll look at Cate Blanchett for two hours sure what the hell I GUESS IF YOU TWIST MY ARM
Kaiju Blue. The stuff has a(theoretically) huge impact on how the Jaegers fight, why humanity is starving, and the use of Kaiju as terraforming tools not just as giant monsters. It's explained really poorly and left a lot of people confused and is the obvious explanation for why the swords weren't pulled out way earlier. They give it a two second mention in the intro that's incredibly easy to miss.
Not sure about most hated. Ferris Bueller's Day Off would be a contender, though. I could not stand that film.
That sounds like bogging down a gangster movie to explain why and how the Thompson became their signature weapon.
For me, it's enough to know there's a world, setting, and reasoning beyond what is explicitly shown in the movie.
The first Blu-ray I bought was Terminator 2
My kneejerk answer for favorite movie is Terminator 2

This was stuff that I was quizzed on by literally everyone I watched the movie with who hadn't read up on the prerelease buzz.
And I saw the movie seven damn times in IMAX, so it was a lot.
It's a great movie but the world building could have been done better(using the Drift throughout instead of the long intro) and if you even lightly poke at some stuff it just falls apart.
I'm really looking forward to the sequel. It's impressive how the Jaeger cockpits are practical sets. The shit they did for the flooding scene was... crazy.
I think that's called trivia, Rainfall. A Star Wars fan can quiz you on ship and blaster models all the livelong day and it still shouldn't affect the movie in the slightest.
Cate Blanchett is so amazing
her performance as Katherine Hepburn is the single best part of The Aviator
I don't think it's a great movie, but it sure does press some Happy buttons for me.
Crap. Now I need to go home and watch it.
That's probably in my top 5 as well.
I actually think that Goonies is a great movie. I get that maybe there are elements that by today's standards stand out as bad, but it's 30 years old now. Overall I think it has a good message and the way they treat the Goonies themselves, as a group of adventurers rather than little kids, is really well done.
WHOOPS?
I do absolutely adore Tony Scott's True Romance, though, 'happy' ending and all. I'm sure Quentin Tarantino had some legitimate beefs with decisions Tony Scott made. But True Romance was pure pleasure from start to finish and a master class in effective casting.

Also they are so not the same demographic at all
The struggle is real.

Sure, he didn't mean her any harm, but it was still shown to be his fault.
Why I fear the ocean.
That movie has some fantastic visual design. I loved the art style so much.
I just wish it was tied to a much better script. It was two hours long but felt like it only had enough material for one, so it spent the other hour shuffling the main character off from place to place so she could put on different dresses and make nearly identical mistakes.
And man, it's super weird--especially from the Wachowskis--to have a movie where the primary character is a woman and she doesn't ever get to do anything cool. Instead, any moment where Jupiter's not being expositioned at is dedicated to Caine attempting to save her from one of the many predicaments she's fallen into. Even Cinderella was allowed to have more initiative.
I argue this was intentional in Miller's design due to
Fucking loving it so far.
Schultz is fantastic.
UNNNNNNNNG
All of the actors absolutely kill it, and the dialogue is some of Tarantino's best
unlike some of his works, though, it has enough action to keep the pace going
probably my favourite Tarantino movie, to be honest
Not because it's bad, but I just can't sit through a scene that's just nothing but people sitting around and talking about nothing for like ten to fifteen minutes. I'm more impatient with movies than most people, though.
