    Idiocracy was a movie that if you didn't "get it" you are it...

    I wouldnt say "good".  Just ones I enjoy

    Bulletproof
    Con-Air
    13 Ghosts

    I thought Bulletproof (Sandler & Waynans) and Con-Air were both enjoyable movies.

    I recently watched it for the first time in like 25 years because it was on Amazon Prime and didn't find it near as funny. I remember really liking it when I was younger, but I wanted to shut it off halfway through. Just gets dull.

    It's so bad it's good (but you have to partake first!)

    I f’n love Constantine.  It one of those that if it’s on the screen, I’m sitting down to watch.  I think Peter Stormare’s satan is one of the best ever.

    Actually had a talk about this just 1-2 weeks ago with someone who mentioned Constantine as an underrated movie.

    Haven't rewatched it since the cinema. Wasn't Tilda Swinton in it also?

    It would be a nice double-feature with Arnolds End of Days.

    Yes, she was.  She played the archangel Gabriel.  I liked End if Dats as well.  Gabriel Byrne was another excellent satan.

    Someone mentioned The Postman.  For the record I love End of Days movies like that and Waterworld.

    I loved them both.  Not ever sure why all the hate for these.  They were both funny and well written.

    Were they too long for people?

    I like these wayyyyyy better than the current Walking Dead series because civilization comes back where as in WD they just continue to fuck things up...

    Postman, while decent.... it was drawn out in a time period where movie length was getting absurd.  Also a bit of Costner fatigue.


    Waterworld qualifies for this well.  However, I really do like that movie.  I think it also suffered from hype and a notorious budget, and as a result, many people were overly critical and wanted it to fail.

    Hmm...Rewatching The Postman wouldn't be a bad idea.
