So I’m reading a thread on a forum about movies. Awful movies.
People are posting their lists of awful movies that people hated but you loved. I thought this could be good for a laugh, to see what crap they throw out.
My DVD collection……. seriously.
80% of the movies listed on the first 3 pages are on my shelf or in my top 100 movies…… I am such a sucker for blockbuster movies. It’s such an escape, it’s entertainment.
Don’t get confused. I love lots of classics. Gregory Peck in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is one of my favourite movies of all time. I watched ‘Inside Man’ and spent a few hours afterwards discussing the lighting and camera angles and how Spike used them to convey emotion and control the viewers opinion. But I am equally as excited by ‘The Day after Tomorrow’ and ‘Doom’.
This came up very directly with my girlfriend. And she shares a lot of the awful taste in movies. Lucky for her 
Which let’s be honest was a bit of a risk having a degree in English and another in Drama……..her taste was much more likely to be for Othello and the original Taming the Shrew than to kick back with Hudson Hawk.
Quick run down of the movies I loved that made it onto the list….
- Doom
- Hudson Hawk
- Unbreakable
- The Last Boy Scout
- Memoirs of an Invisible Man
- Final Fantasy – The Spirits Within
- Cloverfield
- Demolition Man
- Gabriel
- The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
- All 3 Resident Evil movies
Wow. They are all big scale movies and most have the worst reviews ever. If it wasnt so damned late I’d write why I love them.
Maybe tomorrow?
Leave a comment and tell me yours…..
