Finally, someone else who sees it my way!

Man, I’m honestly just cursed to catch them popping up on Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien every now and then. 😢

Lewis Black is basically the complete opposite—he just calls out the nonsense typical Americans and politicians get away with. Sometimes I honestly wonder if the guy's got a European soul deep down somewhere.

Rush Hour is such a blast because it’s just a solid, fun movie—mostly because Tom Wilkinson is the villain, and honestly, any flick where he’s playing the bad guy is bound to be good.

Benigni just really gets on my nerves.

Why on earth is Ben Stiller even in this? He’s not funny at all—I can't even look at him🤮

Personally, I think Chris Tucker is awesome. It's not like he's doing these massive, complex stunts or anything, but man, his delivery is lightning fast. I caught 'Money Talks' on ABC the other day and was laughing my head off

Here are two more - Eye of God by Tim Blake Nelson and Nobody's Fool by Robert Benton

If some random director had stepped in, maybe I would’ve been okay with Spider-Man—but Sam Raimi really should have delivered much more than that.

👍

Paul Mendoza8 said:I’m surprised QUICK AND THE DEAD didn't make the cut—it's a western with a bit of a twist, featuring Russell Crowe back before he became such a massive headache 👍. Even Leonardo DiCaprio was somewhat tolerable then. It’s also worth remembering Sam Raimi from his earlier days, before he started embarrassing himself with all those 😲Spider-Man
movies. The guy who wrote that screenplay actually directed an incredible crime flick himself—POD SUMNJOM👍. It’s a smart whodunit that doesn't insult the audience by hiding the actual culprits!

Honestly, you're the absolute best.

Oh, and one more brilliant piece—John Mellencamp's 🙂Rough Riders🙂. Sure, it's a TV movie, but it's honestly better than 90% of what Hollywood churns out these days.

Honestly, Lewis Black is easily the funniest guy out there right now. Just grab one of his specials online and you'll see exactly what I mean. Sure, he’s primarily a stand-up comedian—he hasn't really done much in movies yet—but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes soon. In a few years, everyone in the States will have him on their radar. If you're into that unapologetic, politically incorrect style of humor, he's a must-watch.

Paul Mendoza8 said:Just to be safe, I’m throwing out Starship Troopers—it's incredible sci-fi that bombed at the box office and didn't get much love back then. I guess people just couldn't stomach those nasty giant bugs. 🙏

🙏 🙏 🙏 👍 🙂 🙂 🎉 WOMAN, YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!

Pure, unadulterated Cameron-style tech-noir.

SIT DOWN, FIVE 👍

I'll add 'The Ghost and the Darkness'—fantastic movie, phenomenal score by Jerry Goldsmith, Tom Wilkinson playing the main (human) villain, and Om Pura in a supporting role. It's a brilliant film, yet so few people seem to know about it. Also 'Felicia's Journey,' since we're already talking about Atom Egoyan, and that genius French comedy 'Dinner with Idiots'—though why they felt the need to make a remake is beyond me.

He’ll admit right there at the bar that it’s all just good business—even while Merlin acts like he’s some high-brow artist. 🤮

Oh well, nobody replied—no biggie. But just a heads-up: this movie is airing on ABC tonight and you SHOULD definitely check it out!

Who are the biggest thieves in the music industry? Sure, 90% of what gets produced today is just copying, but I’m talking about the really obvious ones. It just popped into my head after hearing that breakfast burrito track by Elton John. Honestly, Joan Baez should be suing him! And the worst part? Elton John acts like he's some deep, tortured artist when he’s really just ripping off everyone else—usually with a two or three-year delay.

Larry King37 said:Nicolas Cage in that one flick—I think it's called Angel Eyes. He plays an EMT. It’s pretty intense. Then there's Irreversible—now that's a real movie (the lead guy, I can't recall his name, but the whole thing is just shocking). That's all I can remember for now!!!👋 👋

Nicolas Cage is in Waking the Dead, and Jim Caviezel is in Angel Eyes.

I tip my hat to you—you nailed it! Seriously, props to you. How did I not think of that myself? 😵

Naomi Watts in 'Mulholland Drive' 🙂

And man, you can imagine how much harder that hit me—Jerry Goldsmith passed away just a few days ago, and then suddenly there's that theme playing. 🙂

Joe Dante is the man. I love his movies because underneath those seemingly simple comedies, there’s always this sharp satire aimed at suburban life, the American way, Hollywood, and all that stuff. I mean, just thinking back to how Tom Hanks and the gang absolutely wreck half the neighborhood in 'The 'burbs'... 😂 You should check out Looney Tunes: Back in Action; that movie is wild. And I also really loved his TV movie 'Second Civil War' starring Denis Leary. 😂

The best part is definitely when the Gremlins are tearing into Futterman while those thugs just sit in the car, watching the whole thing without even lifting a finger.😂 😂 😂
