Didnt care all that much for Seven. Way too dark for me.
Top Gun? OK movie but all the homo-eroticism pretty much ruined it.
E.T.? Loved it as a kid...now I could care less.
Wizard of Oz? Sucked when I was a kid...sucks still.
The Amityville Horror I've never seen. Why watch a movie when the book scared me shitless when I was a kid? I had nightmares for weeks after seeing the damn trailer. 8O
Porky's? Meh...stupid flick. Even the T&A was crappy.
The Gods Must Be Crazy I never watched cause it looked stupid.
Old School? Maybe not as funny as Talladega Nights or Step Brothers but not all that bad.
Adam Sandler hasnt made a decent movie since Happy Gilmore.
Bruce Almighty I watched simply because Jennifer Aniston was in it. But you seriously can't say that Liar, Liar wasnt funny. That movie had me rolling. :lol:
Spent a good half hour or so talking about two movies with a co-worker today that I really need to own because they are just full of awesomeness:
The Three Amigos &
The Cannonball Run. Heck, the outtakes on Cannonball have more laughs than most full length comedy movies. :D
Adam Sandler I'll give The Waterboy, I did laugh a few times. I agree that he hasn't made a decent movie since Happy Gilmore, which wasn't that great. Carrey I'll give Ace Ventura, so absolutely dumb it's funny, and Dumb and Dumber. Other than that he's been wasting his talents.
Old School, I had heard just over the top things about, when I finally watched it, meh. Porky's was THE movie to see back when I was in college, my friends thought it was hilarious and saw it MULTIPLE times at the theater, grossed a ton of money, and it just awful. It cannot have gotten better with time. Gods Must be Crazy also was a huge critical success back in the day, I sat stone faced throughout and didn't laugh once...many people I know referred to it as the funniest movie they ever saw (?)
Three Amigos and Cannonball Run are great. I love watching Burt and Dom together, it was pretty obvious they loved the hell out of each other, I bet hanging out with them would have been hilarious and exhausting. The outtakes are pretty funny.
