Streets of Fire is not a guilty pleasure, it is simply awesome!

Transformers ....come to think of it most Michael Bay films. I like them as popcorn films that show off your surround sound.

Drop Squad( lots of unintentional funny moments in this film. The story centers upon a de-progamming African-American sellouts by kidnapping and subjecting them to pro-black profaganda. If not taken serious its a very good(somewhat conry cartoony) commentary on race in America.


One Hour Photo( this movie was panned by critics everywhere but I cannot really see why. Robin Williams was convincing as a lonely yet creepy man.)

Punisher( Yes the acting was bad in this but Dolph Lungren was more convicing as the Punisher than the actor that portrayed him in the new version. )

The rest of the cast was solid, particularly Vincent D'Onofrio. And the the imagery used in the film was fantastic.

Dracula 2000: the re-working of the vampire's origins clicked for me.
The problem with The Cell wasn't Lopez's acting, which was more than adequate for what was required (plus she looked hot in the crazy outfits, and underwear. Plus, she really isn't that bad of an actress overall). The issue with it was the relatively poor plot, the way the mystery was solved, lack of character depth, etc;

Still a pretty cool movie, though. The horse scene is still one of the coolest I've seen in theaters.

Actually, critics praised the hell out of that movie ( http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/one_hour_photo/ -- of 178 reviews, 144 praised the movie, only 34 didn't). Just didn't draw a lot of viewers.

50 First Dates: Great flick with lots of funny moments.
Armageddon: Not sure where all the hate comes from for this film.
Click: Another funny Sandler movie plus Walken and Kate Beckinsale make this a no-brainer
Eragon: Never read the book but did see on reviews that a ton was left out. I thought it was a fun ride and the visuals were very good. Seems this movie is hated by many.
Fever Pitch: Was surprised how much I enjoyed this.
He Got Game: Bad acting by Ray Allen but I still enjoyed the movie.
The Island: Another movie hated by many. I thought it was full of action and a fun ride, plus ScarJo is pretty easy on the eyes.
King Arthur: Not sure what to say about this one, I just like.
Poseidon: Wasn't great but I didn't find it to be the total crap most people thought it was.
Resident Evil Trilogy: Milla!
Shallow Hal
Spider-Man 3: Hated it at the theater, loved it on the 2nd and 3rd viewing at home.
Star Wars Prequels: Love Sith, Like Clones, Tolerate Phantom
Superman Returns: Loved everything but Kate Bosworth
Termintator 3: Great action and kick-ass Terminatrix

Wow, I never knew that One Hour Photo got such critical praise. I just remeber lots of people online saying how terrible the movie was so I automatically thought this was the consensus.

I will agree that the character depth for the movie was medicore. But I just can't get into Lopez's acting. Maybe I'm jaded because this was around the time that she became "J-Lo" and was dating Puffy/Puff Daddy/Puffy Puffy Ami Ami. Her celebrity greatly shadowed her talent, which I find to be average.

Back on topic: I picked up Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) from the Wal-Mart dump bin a while back and I laughed myself silly watching it. But IIRC, it tanked at the box office. Hilarious movie with some smart satire/analysis, if you ask me.

Yeah, this was quite the pleasant surprise - a very funny film indeed.

Agree on all points. One of my favorites and yes, it should have ended at the Blue Fairy.

I love that movie. I hope they make a sequel!

I also love:

Mr. Woodcock. caught this on HBO the other week, and couldn't stop laughing. sure it's predictable, but the laughs were earned, and that's all I care about in a comedy.
