Napoleon Dynamite is fudging legendary. I hadn't heard of it, and likewise didn't know of the "cult" around it when I saw it, and I watched it right after having a complete barney with one of my housemates, but we all sat down and we all laughed our asses off, I couldn't breathe it was so funny. We then watched it about twice a week from then on, I haven't watched it since, seen bits of it, but haven't watched it since - it was kind of the defining movie of my final year at uni, so it kinda belongs (to me anyway) in that period of time.
Equilibrium ... blatantly someone was jizzing over 1984 and The Matrix, but if you want an easy bit of stylish action you can't go wrong here, some of the action is just fantastic - and it's nowhere near as pretentious as The Matrix films became. Generally an enjoyable flick.
Titanic - yeah I don't care for it either, the only good bit is when it sinks - and you know it's coming - AND then you realise you were enjoying the cinematic retelling of a disaster that sent many people to their deaths ... and then you feel hollow inside...plus it was during DiCaprio's "cute" period, he's a good actor now as he's grown into himself, but back then he was all tweenager pin up, and it was annoying...
Rocky Horror Picture Show is a freakin' cinematic classic, 'nuff said.
Akira - superb anime, it's the starting point - in my opinion - for anyone getting into anime.
Silent Hill - the best videogame/movie conversion there's ever been ... but there was far too much "people walking around scary places and looking kinda disturbed" for me, it needed a swifter pace and generally needed to be tighter, but it was pretty good, especially for a videogame/movie conversion.
Cabin Fever - yes, Eli Roth was very much in his "my first movie, ergo I must reference all my favourites" period, but I love this movie. It's a horror film for horror fans made by a horror fan, and it shows. It feels like the 1980s came back from the grave and set it's bloody horror-movie-with-tits-flopping-around feet down in the new millennium.
hmmm...
Films that I really hate ... not sure how popular they are, but:
White Chicks - it's retarded, plus it's a double standard - if it was white guys dressing up as black girls and it was called "Black Chicks", it'd be racist - ergo, I spit on this movie and the retarded double standards it represents. Plus said "White Chicks" just look wrong...
Yawn04 - a bunch of know-nothing teenagers jizzed all over this running zombie arse fest. Nice cinematography and well put together in the edit suite, but the story is utterly abominable, SHEER SH*T COVERED PANTS.
Can't really think of any others right now ... I'll keep thinkin'
