Movies You Dont Understand Why Everyone Raves About Them

[Baron Vo Mandor]

There's something about Mary.

Why do people rave about it ? Full of cliched bathroom jokes.

It was daring @ the time.

For me unfaithful movie I saw late saturday night, hated the ending with a passion......

Dracula 3000 worst movie of all time.

The Hangover....... Was okay but nothing compared to the wraps.

The Godfather, I dont see it and I normally LOVE mafia movies.

Harry Potter, more bandwagonish than the world cups for union and soccer.

i didnt laugh out loud at all during the hangover.. wasnt even that funny.

 

[El Diablo]

Tropic Thunder

Robert Downey Jnr. does the worst Aussie accent too. it was also terrible in Natural Born Killers

 

[Phillips]

yeh both those movies sucked ass.

He, like most Americans, assumes that all Australians say "Crikey" and "bloody" in most sentences.

My dad and his dad say 'bloody' a lot. As far as im concerned, its a fair parody.
If all you had was Croc Hunter to go on - you wouldnt know any better

he made Air America with Mel Gibson so he has no excuses

plenty of Aussie movies he would've seen too

I love comedy.
I'm more into clever British comedy than American comedy though.

This is exactly what he was talking about. Saying that comedy you like is 'clever', while implying other people's comedy is stupid.

 

[Non Terminator]

Apologies to you both, as it wasn't my intention.
It's just not the comedy I am into, that's all.

Borat was hilarious btw. At least the first time. Ali G and Borat are great characters...Bruno was average, even on Da Ali G show. So I didn't bother watching the movie.

 

[abpanther]

Tropic Thunder was hilarious, the bit with Tom Cruise dancing alone was funny enough.

"You never go full genius"

LMAO

 

[God-King Dean]

Scarface.

The worst acting I've seen Pacino do.

 

[nöyd]

Slumdog Millionaire

best picture oscar? must've been the only nominee

 

[Flapper]

Anyone said Brokeback Mountain yet? "BUT THEY'RE GAY! GAY COWBOYS!" f**k off. The movie was slower than Jeff Fenech, Heath Ledger talked like he was snowballing the entire film, and it was a bog standard romance that people would've railed against if they hadn't been a man-on-man romance.

The scenery and Anne Hathaway's breasts are the only two things good about it.

 

[Big Pete]

Brokeback Mountain reminds me of a quote Cartman used to summarise all independant cinema.

"It's just a bunch of gay Cowboys eating pudding".

Who knew in over 5 years time he'd be absolutely correct.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Lord of the Rings. All it is, is a group of people walking. Editors were obviously sacked and never replaced.

Tropic Thunder was funny but the accent was very annoying.

I also don't get the mafia movies like Goodfellas and The Godfather.

 

[abpanther]

A Beautiful Mind

Good Will Hunting sh*ts all over it IMO

 

[Chook Norris]

Tropic Thunder was hilarious, the bit with Tom Cruise dancing alone was funny enough.

"You never go full genius"

LMAO

Robert Downey Jr: They got us convinced that we're filming planet of the apes on youtube or some sh*t.... but i don't buy it.

:lol:.. that tone he says it in is hilarious

 

[Ridders]

Downey makes that movie. It would have be soooo sh*t without his character.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

zombieland, dont get me wrong i enjoyed it a lot,but there people saying its better than planet terror and that itself makes this movie over-rated

i would also say this is behind most other zombie flicks by romero and also the new dawn of the dead and dance of the dead

Zombieland isn't even a zombie film. It's a boy-meets-girl film that has zombies in it.

The new Dawn of the Dead and Dance of the Dead? Crap. They fall well short of what a real zombie film offers.

Terrible zombie films are about zombies eating people. Real zombie films that meet their potential use the zombie apocalypse to highlight aspects of our own existence that we need to pay attention to and think about. This is why Romero is THE MAN and everything else - everything! - fails in comparison. The only real zombie films are ones made by Romero.

(Although bad zombie films that just centre on zombies devouring people are quite hilarious and awesome to watch. It's just that they don't fulfill their potential, fail in comparison to Romero and are examples of the meaningless tripe that society dishes out these days. Still fun, though)
