I'm willing to bet that the Wal-Mart documentary is probably banned in Wal-Mart. Yet they'll sell super adult animes as long as it doesn't have sex in them.
Robert Rodriguez. . . He did the Spy Kids movies, right? Yeah. It figures. He even has a video called Ten Minute Film School: Big Movies Made Cheap. Emphasis on the word "cheap" right?
Oooh. Somebody who remembers Sword of Vermillion. Not to mention you just reminded me that I completely forgot about Earthworm Jim in my list of top video games.
The Matrix movies(I liked all three of them) aren't classic cinema by any rights. Nor do they feature what you would call acting. But as popcorn movies go, they're pretty absorbing and interesting to me.
I disagree about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The movie just swept me up into their world so much that I couldn't help but say "That was so cool" at the end credits. It's the fact that it wasn't like the standard chop socky violent martial arts movie that makes it so wonderful, and I loved the two intertwining love stories and the bittersweet ending.
You're not alone on Sky Captain, but I was just sick of all these big Hollywood movies just trying so hard. Sky Captain was a "window to a time period in comic book form" type movie like Dick Tracy but much better. I saw Sky Captain as the work of a man completely enamored by the old camp serials like Buck Rogers or Superman, and I like the look the sepia filter gave the movie and how the robots looked. I also thought the movie had a meaningful message about Man's relationship to science and nature. But that's just me.
I think I saw a really good phrase about movies somewhere. It goes "One man's Godfather is another man's Porky's". Or something to that effect. I had fun watching Sky Captain but was bored to tears by Hero. You're the other way around. C'est la vie.

Man. That looks like a good chunk of every movie ever made.
Awww, but Tremors is so fun.

That's a pretty impressive marathon. I only just watch movies when I feel like it.
Narnia a 2 and Disney's version of Snow White a 6. Hoo Nelly.
I'm not sure about Narnia, but I still enjoy Snow White even today, despite its outdated values.
Didn't like Infection, huh? Damn. As a fan of Asian horror, I wanted to watch that one next.
And I respect anybody who can actually beat the freaking game. XD
Thanks for the reply.

I don't know about the original Gremlins, but Gremlins 2 just rocked my world.

Very good list here. Of course none of the terrible movies released this decade even approach "classic" bad movies like Plan 9. XD
I would take out the Matrix movies and Le Pacte Des Loups.
Passion of the Christ. When that came out, I was adamant against seeing it. You simply couldn't pay me enough.
Thunderbirds. . . .What a big, big, BIG despicable insult to a classic 60s series.
I disagree with the assessment of Sky Captain, but then again I seem to be alone in my love of it.
