Unpopular opinions

@EastWest:

For their time they are great.

That's the point.  If you did not see them at the time and thus have no emotional connection to them, they're shite…..

G-man totally understands me, lol

[EastWest]

Sure, but even the emotionally unattached can appreciate that for the early 80’s they are good films, visually at the very least.

I couldn't.  Paula loves them, so I really really tried.

DIE HARD and BABE are the ONLY x-mas movies ever made…

PS: there is no DIE HARD 3 just as there is no BABE 2...Again: there's DIE HARD... DIE HARD 2 (DIE HARDER)... There's BABE... But there's no DIE HARD 3 (DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE)... Doesn't exist... Just as there isn't BABE 2 (PIG IN THE CITY)...

Got it?..

[Snowy]

DIE HARDER BABE next in the series?

[EastWest]

Aah Die Hard. Almost up there with Leathal Weapon.

BABE WITH A VENGEANCE (MCCLANE IN THE CITY)

Leathal Weapon?.. LEATHAL WEAPON?.. JESUS WEPT MAN… How dare you mention those two movies in one sentence?..

Gremlins is an awesome Holiday movie, wait a minute this is the unpopular opinions thread. . . okay so Gremlins is better than Babe since Babe is a rip-off of Charlotte's Web and that Gordy movie from the 90s wasn't so bad

@madmonday:

Gremlins is better than Babe

Unpop op: madmonday should retire again  :-\

[madmonday]

not unpop ^

I guess gremlins is awesome to me because the movie came out when I was like ten or something and Babe came out when I was already out of high school.

I really just want to slow up all the annoying movie talk in the unpop thread so true hate and discontent could come back

@UnTucked:

As a body of work, it's decent… But, those original 3 really make it hard for anyone "new" to truly get in to it, MOSTLY because:

For a n00b, the most logical way to watch them is "episode order". The biggest problem with that is not plot reveals in the prequels, but rather how damn difficult it is to watch the original 3 after being spoiled with a decent script, decent acting, and watching the beautiful CG/special effects of the prequels.

George Lucas is a horrible screenwriter, and it's hard to unsee the bad acting from the original 3 films. I didn't think the prequels were much better.

Jesus, how can so many people be so wrong about everything?
1. Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi.  Period.  There are no other movies, there are no other titles, and saying those late 90s abominations had good acting is just objectively silly.
2. Die Hard, Die Harder, Live Free Or Die Hard are awesome, and the original is the best Christmas movie ever made.  Three and five are crap.
3. Gremlins is ok.  Gremlins 2 is better.
4. And while Terminator 2 isn't perfect, at least it gets rid of that mushy love story.  The Guns-n-Roses song is total 90s cheeseball, though.

[madmonday]

oh man you left out a Christmas Story. it tops all  die hards with drama and action.

tongues stuck to tire changes, frozen flagpoles, glowing lamps, cursing kids, bunny PJ's and Chinese food for a holiday dinner all awesome.

[EastWest]

Good point. Looking forward to the new Leathal Hard Babe film though.

New Years Eve is farse.

[Seul]

Hardly Legal Babes?.. SIGN ME UP!..

[Chris]

I didn't forget A Christmas Story, it's just not as good as Die Hard.

And if we're going to go off movies, moc toes on shoes and boots are hideous.  That includes everything from the Alden Indy to the Red Wing whatever.

The GnR song is the absolute best thing about Terminator 2
