I thoroughly enjoyed the Pink Panther. Maybe it depends on whether you find uproarious unsophisticated humor sufficient to compensate for an absurd plot and poorly developed characters. I do.
Go rent a Korean movie called “Old Boy”, its pretty recent.
THIS MOVIE WILL WARP YOUR FRAGILE LITTLE MIND!.
Steel with Shaq playing a superhero, half the movie revolved around him not being able to make free throws.

Gary Busey is…
The Gingerdead Man
Mission to Mars.
Did anyone else sit through that crap?
I try my best to avoid bad movies. The ones I did see because everyone considers them classics are:
A Clockwork Orange
Dune
Blade Runner
in that order.
The first one is by far the most disturbing piece of crap anyone could possibly watch. Just thinking about that movie makes me pissed. Now I am waiting for someone in their late 30s - early 40s to tell me that I don’t know what I am talking about.

Clockwork Orange was fantastic.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.
P.S. CO is quite an aquired taste, I’ll admit. But Bladerunner is a bonafide classic. The whole look was cyberpunk before anyone knew what cyberpunk was and Rutger Hauer is simply amazing as Roy.

The original of Bladerunner is an amazing movie, but I think the director’s cut without the voice-over is better. I don’t need to hear Harrison Ford explain things I already got.
Same goes for Dune. The director’s cut has a lot less slack than the original.
All three are movies that stick with you. That’s what really counts - whether or not you still think about the movie ten years later. Sometimes you see a movie and say “Hey, that was great”, but the next day you completely forget about it.
Lost In Translation. Unwatchable.
Kazaam.
End of discussion. Mods, please close the posting on this thread, its been concluded.
Wild Wild West
I’m still mad at my wife for dragging me to see that all those years ago (and she even fell asleep in the theater).
I turned Eyes Wide Shut off shortly after the car wreck…I think. I can’t really remember because the beginning sucked so badly.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation was just dreadful.
Torque was poor but it’s got bikes so I have to watch the intro whenever it comes on TV.
Now Biker Boys? WTF was that about? The whole movie made no sense what so ever.
ooh, just remembered - Dolomite. End of thread.

Exactly. I thought that movie was about as unrealistic as you could get…but I’ve seen it way too many times to even brag about. The bikes look cool, therefore, it gets watched.

This jibe is not directed at you alone, but I see many on this thread equating slow moving movies with bad movies. I put it to you that your attention span is simply too short.
Lost in Translation, 2001, and Unbreakable are just a few examples of movies that ask you to sit quietly and let things unfold.
Just because someone’s not getting shot every 10 minutes or the camera angle isn’t changing every 2 seconds, doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. Action = Good, Slow = Bad is a lame arguement.
That’s my soapbox talk to what I call the “VH-1 Attention Span” crew.
