Thanked for one of my guiltiest of pleasures movies.

Recently check out the sequel, released last year(2 years ago?), and wow it was bad. Like unbearable. But a couple parts where you chuckle and ask yourself if that really just happened. So maybe for the B movie fans out there...

Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night. Was terrible from start to finish. Three hours of boring garbage.

Amazon Prime has a massive collection of just outright schlock 80's films that are not B or even C movies, but D movies, that are almost a must watch for pure entertainment.


I'm tempted to start a thread reviewing some of them, if anyone is interested.

Watched this last night, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before. It was really good.

Plus DiCaprio can get bent. I turned it on but as soon as that meatball started his first line... I just couldn’t. Next movie.

Watching this right now. Not too many movies make me happier than this one.

I watched The Beach again. One of my favorite movies of all time, which at the time was severely underrated. Just a coming of age movie for the student age, with great cinematography, and captured the backpack vibe of Thailand so well.

Re-watched “Aliens” and “The Matrix” last night. Both still hold up really well.

I loved the soundtrack when I was younger. That shark attack scene was disturbing as hell though.

Aliens might be my favorite action flick of all time. Right from the moment they board the drop ship, the movie launches into overdrive and doesn't let up until the very last scene when Ripley and Newt go into hypersleep. I could probably watch that movie 100 times and never get bored.

May just follow suit here and give Heat a go tonight. It has been more than a few years since I last watched it.

Also watched Just Mercy, and while well done, seemed familiar. Based on a true story, which was good as well. If true and if it played out like that in real life (always questionable with movies), it's maddening what happens with racism in the US. Worth the watch.

We watched the live-action Dora the Explorer movie last night. I recommend that you DON'T watch this movie.

Opening scene is a classic

Just an awesome movie. What a friggin ending. "Told you i'm never going back". Wow.

You've inspired me to watch all my favorite Michael Mann movies. Heat, Collateral, The Insider, The Last of the Mohicans, Ali and Miami Vice (don't hate!).

Just finished Collateral. The most underrated Mann movie is the Insider. Fantastic.

Another great director that's not talked about much is John Frankenheimer. With the talk of Heat, it got me thinking about Ronin. His first movie was in 1959, and he always walked the line between B movie with just a touch of high class. Kind of a slow burn action director.
