Your choice but... I never knew about the "history" that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood takes from. I was more interested on the other characters and story going on instead and still it was a great movie.

Tremors is absolutely one of my favorites. It's hard to get that balance of terror and humor, but man that first one got it perfect.
I mean, I have a love for all the Temor movies, but the first one was goddamn awesome.

Huh, i thought that would fall into the realm of “80s classics”

50 First Dates, one of Adam Sandler’s movie with Drew Barrymore. It is not a amazing movie but it gets some good laughs out of me and is surprisingly heartwarming and touching at times. Overall, a good comfort movie!

Reply to comment by alette42 in Over 2 months ago, I put a video together about the appearance of Heather Donohue's voice from Blair Witch Project (who changed her name to Rei Hance in 2021) and how she was not credited or paid for her voice appearing in Academy Award Nominee, Tár. by HalpTheFan
I just watched some of her YouTube content and it’s… well… a bit kooky. Definitely some issues going on there… I’m very curious who the people telling her that her performance wasn’t integral to the success of TBWP are. Because they’re dead wrong… I KNEW those screams in Tár sounded very familiar. And I’m sure some entity got compensated for that audio. But probably due to rights issues it wasn’t her.

Are we 100% sure the screams in Tár are the same from the Blair Witch Project? I’ve seen TBWP probably 15 times and I know that scream very well and it didn’t even register to me while watching Tár.

I'm very much someone who has wanderlust, and the film connects with me on a very deep level. I love it.
Annoyingly there are two versions of the film. One slightly longer version where all the pieces slot together nicely. There's also the British theatrical version was pre-cut during post-production to secure a PG rating. This version was the one released worldwide - and it doesn't make a lot of sense. Some key scenes are missing.

Also complaining his work doesn't reflect the modern country...when talking about period pieces.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is my favorite film of all time. It's 1hr 36mins of pure bonkers genre-mixing fun with a kickass sound track, awesome action, and fantastic characters. It moves and flows so well.

Once were warriors (1994), a NZ movie of pure domestic violence. I fund it in an old blockbuster store and watched several times since, the first time I did hated the movie's bad guy.

Agreed, watching the Irishman just made it clear how much closer they are as well. It truly felt like a goodbye from them as well.

I'd argue Dusk Til Dawn feels way more like a Rodriguez movie than a Tarantino movie though (although Tarantino is actually IN it, of course). True Romance though feels like a 100% Tarantino movie that just happens to not be directed by him.

"Identifying with the protagonist" is why Tom Holland is my favorite Spider-Man. (to clarify I'm an 18-year old college freshman)
A lot of my most favorite movies are due to either that, or just something extra that really sucks me in (nostalgia, or something else indescribable). Most of the "great" movies that I've seen (Dark Knight, Forrest Gump, Back to The Future) are somewhere in the #25-35 range on my list.

Reign Over Me. My first introduction to Adam Sandler’s ability to do drama, and a really good reminder how important it is to maintain those friendships during hard times of mental turbulence.

Man, seeing that when it came out is one of my most vivid movie theater memories. My dad and I saw it opening night, I remember I had to work that day at my shitty high school busboy job, I got off so late that I had to go straight from there to the theater and all day the thought of it gave me something to look forward to. At the time I think I'd seen just about everything Tarantino had done so far and was massively hyped for this, and it was a rare situation where I had expectations that seemed impossible to live up to but somehow it exceeded them. At the end of the movie >!when they kill Hitler and everyone, at the time that just blew my fuckin mind. Once it got to the whole sequence at the movie theater, I had no idea what to expect as far as historical accuracy, and I kept thinking "Is that where he's gonna go with this? Is he just gonna say fuck it and kill Hitler?" And he did, the absolute madlad.!<
I wish I could forget all his movies so I could watch them for the first time again. Hope you enjoy the rest of them, I'm sure you will.

Tremors. It's super cozy, nearly perfect, and fun for all levels of horror fans. I've loved it most of my life. I'd watch it whenever it came on tv. And still watch it often.

I saw the theatrical version.
3 was okay (I gave it an enjoyability score of 73 which is my defaut "meh" score) but 4 got a 63.
Office Space is on my "to-watch" list.

Does Secret Life of Walter Mitty count? The remake with Stiller. It's been my go to since it came out. Cliche, but I identify with the protagonist. I havent gone around the world, but I live a lot in my head.

2nd one has 2 versions BTW the theatrical version and then the Richard Donner version.
3rd one was fun and like a lot of people say a Richard Pryor comedy with Superman. Plus without Superman 3 could we have had Office Space since it pulls a plot from Superman 3.

Wow really? I always think she does an amazing job of acting genuinely terrified every time I watch Blair Witch.

Beetlejuice.
First concert I saw was Harry Belafonte in 1988 for the Paradise in Gazankulu tour. I guess the VHS for Beetlejuice came out a few months later. I was hooked and fascinated by the humor,.and Beetlejuice acted like Bugs Bunny, my idol. I think we played it for my birthday party that year.
It had great acting, great directing, a perfect script, an awesome score, but it is still just nostalgia that makes it my favorite. The humor holds up 35 years later.
