God, there's some bad movies in there, if you don't mind my saying so. Actually, whether you mind me saying so or not, there are some bad movies in there. :p Nah, I know movies are personal, so your mileage may vary, but anything by M Night Shyamalan should be automatically purged...just because.

Monty Python's The Life of Brian
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
Star Wars original trilogy
LOTR trilogy
Terminator 1-2 only.
Man on Fire
Shoot 'em Up
Groundhog Day (so bad it's good ;) )
Demolition Man
Rocky 1-4 (I'm a boxing fan, what can I say?)
Lethal Weapon series (again, so bad it's good. :p )
300
Braveheart
Die Hard 1 and 3 (rest don't count)
Jurassic Park (first and maybe second only)
X-Men 1 and 2
The new star trek movie...
Batman Begins/Batman Dark Knight

Basically, I'll give most things with a lot of violence and/or guns a chance. Bonus points for fantasy/sci fi violence...shame there are apparently so few of the latter. If anyone can recommend any good ones without going so far back as to be going into black and white (or, indeed, Technicolor), please share.


I'm curious which ones you think are bad. Most of them are pretty artsy, I suppose. As for Unbreakable (which is, admittedly, the weakest movie on my list, which is why its at the end), it definitely needs a re-watch for me to decide whether it's top 30 material, however, you must admit that it was filmed very well and that every scene with Samuel L. Jackson (especially the ending) is full of awesomeness.

As for recommendations, you'd probably like Snatch and Hot Fuzz (both are fairly violent and have lots of British humor, or should I say humour :xcahik_: ).

Also, you'd probably like Fight Club and various Tarantino movies. Although, if you don't like artsy movies, you might get bored at some parts. District 9 would probably interest you too, since you liked Star Trek.

Oh, and if you really like "so bad it's good" movies, you might want to check out Total Recall and Troll 2 :p

Ava: 6/10 - Too small to see, and 100x64 is nowhere near as sexy as 100x100.

Sig: 8/10 - A bit too big, bu the images at the bottom are really neat.

Avatar: 5/10 - :p

Signature: 7/10 - Pretty cool, but the text is so long that it doesn't fit in too well, and the picture isn't that great.
