Ask Lemmy

Predestination. Ethan hawk mind fuck.

Pontypool, great concept and execution for a low budget horror, Canadian zombies with a twist

The Man from Earth low budget sci-fi about a guy who's been alive for thousands of years, mostly just character development and story telling through actually story telling.

Deep Blue Sea 3, 1 was great b movie shark horror, 2 was garbage, but 3 knew it was on the back foot and just goes all in, not a great movie but after 2 definitely underrated.

Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story

Great biopic satire that just keeps on giving. For me, Tim Meadows will always remain Sam, saying "not once." It helps that his other roles are also goofy, like the ARGUS dude in Peacemaker.

Joe Versus the Volcano

Terminator Salvation

While I've always liked the first two Terminator movies due to their Tech Noir aesthetics, I find that this one adds some important background to the world building in general. The story is for the most part interesting, and Christian Bale plays the role well.

Terminator III and any movies after Salvation can fuck right off, tho.

Sneakers message still resonates strongly today

Better Off Dead outside the band of most 80s teenager comedy movies

Paycheck I thought it was a fun sci-fi that most people missed

The Great Escape not underrated back in the day, but not very well known now

"Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer"

Despite the anime ass long title it's a Steve Buscemi starring film nobody watched. I thought it was fucking hilarious. You will too if you like dark comedy.

Tremors II: Aftershocks is a perfect comedic action horror film and a perfect sequel.

Mad God is extremely disturbing and dark, probably impossible to watch for most people. I think it's a stop motion master piece.

Monsters

I've watched it 10+ times and absolutely love it, also cry at the gas station scene almost every time.

• Sorcerer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerer_(film) This film has an uninformative title and came out JUST before the original Star Wars so it didn't have a chance. But it's a decent thriller.

• Southern Comfort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Comfort_(1981_film) https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ttua8 https://fawesome.tv/movies/10343295/southern-comfort Has decent ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, but didn't make much money and is generally overlooked by critics. On !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social I said: "The obvious comparisons are to “Deliverance,” but thematically closer to “Aguirre, the Wrath of God.” You could write a great college or high school paper talking about justice, discipline, social structures, power, subcultures, etc. If you’re into film technique, the way this movie uses sounds, silences, and setting is masterful. An action/thriller that also makes you think."

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)

A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.

And it's got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you're gonna have a good time when he's involved.

Into The Night (1985)

Directed by John Landis and starring Geoff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffeffieferer, and a cast including Dan Aykroyd, David Cronenberg, Jim Henson, and David Bowie as a hitman called Colin Moris.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Ford

That movie is a legitimate work of art in which every performance is understated and every frame could be hung on the wall of any gallery. But because it's quite long, and because nothing gets blown up, no one really paid any attention to it.

I genuinely only know about three people IRL who have seen it, and I'm one of them.

Mom And Dad Save The World (1992)

Stars Terri Garr and Jeffrey Jones as the Nelsons, an ordinary set of suburban boomer parents who routinely go on vacations/car trips. On such a trip, they are abducted station wagon and all by Emporer Todd (played by Jon Lovitz) of planet Spengo, a desert planet inhabited by a species of dog headed if male, fish headed if female creatures, and humanoid idiots. Ridiculousness ensues.

It bombed at the box office and is poorly reviewed but I had fun with it.

Repo! The Genetic Opera

The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.

Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.

The old one you never heard of.

"Report To The Commissioner" 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it's got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.

"Honey, please don't undermine me in front of the hostage."

Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.

Dual [2022]

The Man From UNCLE (2015)

Henry Cavill and Arnie Hammer chewing up the scenes, nice fast paced plot, fun and engaging. A real shame it's a Guy Richie film, but since I don't pay him when I watch it I really don't mind 🏴‍☠️

Hundreds of Beavers

uwe boll's postal.

don't get me wrong, it's one of the worst, most disgusting films ever made. it's like if john waters was a conservative. but there's a certain... something to it. there are little details that didn't need to be there that shows some enthusiasm and care for its making.

like there's this one scene where the protagonist goes over to his uncle's sex cult compound and finds him asleep in just an open bathrobe with like seven naked chicks, right? and the dude wakes him up and he has to push them off of him. and as he crawls out from under the blonde sleeping on his crotch, they've added a little *plop* sound effect as her head moves away from his dick. like, that's funny! and totally unnecessary.
