September Film Challenge 🎬

[Bry1313]

Day 1:
I can't remember what my first film may have been. I was told I was taken to the theater when I was a "baby" so my folks could see Ghostbusters. But, I did the math and it actually can't be true. When I confronted my parents about this they said it was probably The Elephant Man and that makes much more sense... but I can't remember it.

So, my first film I actually remember going to see was Star Wars: Phantom Menace. I was 19. We didn't go to movies when I was a kid. Combination of religious and monetary reasons. Hence me being 19.

Oh, gods... sorry that was loooooong af. I'll put Day 2 tomorrow...

Anywho...

Day 5: A film you think is underrated:

I’ll just say……that was the movie that made me break up with M Night Shyamalan. Different strokes for different folks

Day 5: A film you think is underrated

A great movie, that has a high rating on IMDB (7.8 I think) and Rotten Tomatoes (95%), but not well known these days, and underappreciated. I saw it in '76 at the old Uptown theatre in Toronto, from the balcony. Connery and Caine chewing scenery...

...and bonus points for the Jimmy Buffett theme, said the Parrothead

Then you escaped "The Villiage." Good for you.

Sadly I did not, but I hate watched it because my company that evening had not broken up with him yet. That movie killed him for her, and neither of us have gone back since.

Oh, damn, underrated???

The Rocketeer - probably the best translation of a comic to the big screen ever.

Mars Attacks is just so weird and fucking funny. Amazing cast too. I don't get the hate. I love it. Tim Burtonn being wacky is a joy.

Absolutely love this movie. One of the few that I've watched twice in a row. Goofy and joyous seems to work for me. Haha

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

I can't believe I've never seen this movie. Probably should be on my list.

Don’t know you well enough to get any implied joke, but fuck yeah this movies is fantastic. This and 9 to 5 perfectly showcase why Dolly is a goddamn star. And, honestly, my favorite Reynolds role.

Day 5: A film you think is underrated

This movie is a fucking masterpiece. The Wachowski sisters have some of the best most interesting visual style of anyone in Hollywood and really stretch the boundaries of the medium. And the story is good fun too.

Dark City
Came out around the same time as The Matrix if I remember correctly and was unfortunately overshadowed by it.

I was not kidding, but it may have come off that way because I am an absolute delight.

9 to 5 is one of my favorites. Love Dolly.

I can confirm she’s an absolute delight

The Pagemaster. I feel like not many people I know saw it or remember it but I always loved this one. Cool visuals and escaping into books to help you face your fears. Plus the animation was really cool (at least then).

Fifth Element

Totally agree. Love this one and hadn’t thought of it in a while. Every time I watch it I enjoy it more. The colors and visuals are fantastic!

Going to have to watch again now.

I actually kind of loved this movie and I had hoped for a sequel but alas, not everyone felt as I did
