Great movies Millennials probably don’t know about

Just one of the guys
Soulman
Commando

 

[Gonolz]

I heard a movie was just like a really long TikTok.

 

[FlickShagwell]

Richard Donner’s Superman and Superman II are still the best superhero movies ever made. 1989’s Batman is a close runner up.

Marvel and Christopher Nolan’s trilogy can’t touch them.

Fight me, kids.

I'll think of a replacement.

I first saw it in my US government class: 12 Angry Men.

I'll still always sit and watch it if I come across it surfin'.

One that someone recently mentioned to me that they couldn’t believe I’ve never seen is Meatballs. It came out before I was born and I still need to watch it. The reviews look good and it evidently launched Bill Murray’s film career and indirectly later led to Ghost Busters, etc.

Each camp member will track and kill their very own bear.

Swamp Thing
The Warriors
Zapped
Valley Girl
Strange Brew
The Last Starfighter
Buckaroo Banzai

Buckaroo Banzai is outstanding. A tip of the cap to Strange Brew, the Last Starfighter, and Valley Girl.

Used Cars

You baited him, didn't you?

 

[SpyderHawk]

ETC.

I watched The Good, The Bad, ans The Ugly again Friday night (for probably the 4th or 5th time). Great film.

 

[mstp1992]

Very underrated movie.

[Hawk It Up]

You baited him, didn't you?

To this day, I've never owned, nor do I particularly care to ride in, a red car.

Dunno if it's strictly because of this movie, but when I get in a one, I immediately think of that scene where the guy finds out he is driving a fire department car.

"Maroon car, my ass. This motherfugger is RED!"

I also like their inflation solution. A shotgun. "6299? THATS TOO EFFIN, HIGH! BLAM!"

 

[gonegolfing]

It's about a string quartet's final song.

Close, it's more of an educational piece on how global warming has saved our shipping lanes.

 

[FSUTribe76]

I’m more of a fan of the first two Emmanuelle movies.

If I’ve seen an older movie, I’m fine watching it again. But watching almost anything 70s and before that I’ve never seen is brutal...even if it’s a good movie.

It’s amazing how much acting as evolved and improved...let alone camera quality, special effects, etc.

But mostly it’s the dialogue. So robotic and “big” like a stage production. People just don’t talk they way.

Acting has evolved and improved since the ‘70s?

What, no love for the Scott Baio & Willie Aames classic Zapped!? Next you're going to tell me you didn't care for the Adrian Zmed masterpiece Grease 2.

True story-I convinced my literature teacher in high school to let us watch the end of History of the World, Part 1 after we read Tale of Two Cities. This was in 2003. But I was an early study in Mel Brooks.

 

[FlickShagwell]

I love Big.

No one has brought up Uncle Buck or Parenthood, yet. Those are excellent.
