If a stranger at a party tells me one of their favorite movies is Hot Rod it’s essentially all I need to hear to become new friends.

I'm not saying it wasnt batcrap nuts and frankly, objectively hilarious, I'm just saying that within the context of a big-budget blockbuster feature film...it wasn't good.
I remember laughing my head off when that happened.

I don't know how I've never seen it, but just watched Crimson Tide for first time. What a fantastic movie, and what a great cast. Denzel, Gene, Tony Soprano, Aragorn...

When I first saw it, I had to rewind and watch it. Love that movie almost entirely for that scene alone. Like killing off Seagal in Executive Decision, only better.
Plus it had the line "The sharks brains were too small for our purposes, so we made them bigger. As a side effect, they got smarter."

Look...ever since I first read Jaws I've loved Sharks. I think they are wonderful and fascinating creatures and if/when Hollywood decides to do something big, dumb and stupid with Sharks I'm here for it.
But that was...that was hard to get through. Just...sheerly logistically. How is a Shark the size of a school-bus supposed to swim through a standard sized office hallway in 2 feet of water?
It just dont make sense!
Anyways, that movie is on the spectrum of 'so bad its good.'
LL Cool J!!!

Society of the Snow on Netflix was excellent. Obviously everyone knows of the story but I didn’t know any of the details, or had I seen Alive. Highly recommend, harrowing survival story.

I just want them to make one of these movies where everyone dies at the end.
"They're going to survive! They're going to make it....right? Right....? Why are they all lying still in the snow? Why did everything fade to black and the credits are rolling??"
And make it PG-13!
"Mommy....what happened?"

Well, it is a true story, so that would've been a bit tough.
This one did have a bit of an interesting twist if you're not familiar with exactly who does survive, however. Spoiler below:

Here's a nice little crossover between shark movies and disaster true-stories: Open Water. This is based on a true story and...
