13 Assassins is pretty badass. I would put it in my top 3 of the year so far, but I haven't really been impressed by a whole lot so far.

A-Team wasn't bad at all. My wife watched How Do You Know and You Again, and thought they were just about the worst movies she's seen.

There is a fine line between "whoa" and "cringeworthy", I agree. I havent really appreciated Nic Cages career arc after Face/Off, he pretty much plays the same guy in various different settings. He did sprinkle in a few movies like Matchstick Men and Leaving Las Vegas that I liked, but on the whole I just didnt like his movies like National Treasure, Ghostrider, Knowing, etc. Same with Transformers 2, it was just bad. T3 DOTM, I liked, but there were still a few cringe moments that could have been avoided.

I agree with everything in this post. I will throw in another Nic Cage movie that I liked (that broke from his action mold) as The Weather Man. The scene where's walking down the street trying to remember to pick up guacamole is priceless.

Raising Arizona

way way before Face/off. thats why it, and moonstruck were not included.

 

 

adaptation and bringing out the dead were good post-faceoff movies, but 8mm, snakeeyes, gone in 60 seconds, the wicker man, next,drive angry, season of the witch. yuck

 

Apparently they will pay for the damaged lamp post.

Really, really enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

 

Oh and Con Air is f***in awesome, the end.

I liked "Lord of War", "Matchstick Men", and "National Treasure" was solid for what it is.

"30 Minutes or Less" could definitely have waited for DVD. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it; I laughed quite a bit. Something was just off about it, and it was really short, and it ended quite abruptly.

Totally agree. I think Eisenberg's neurotic character is getting a bit old at this point. The whole movie felt like a bad version of Pineapple Express. I still laughed but it was kind of flat, and Eisenberg kind of sucked. Aziz was awesome, though.

KyYlE23 posted Project Arbiter trailer.

That looks fantastic.

I don't know exactly what it is, but I love any movie with an "historical" background having the Nazi's as the bad guys. It often gets old seeing the same antagonists in every movie, but they're just so perfect for it. I honestly can't think of a single bad movie with that basis.

 

Saving Private Ryan

The Longest Day

Hellboy

Captain America

The Boys From Brazil

Blues Brothers

 

Just some examples from all different genres spanning decades, and I enjoyed them all.

Inglorious Basterds

How dare you leave Inglorious Basterds off the list?

 

And agreed. Dead nazis are good for everyone.

LOL yes, another great one. That was just the first few movies from various genres that popped into my head. I'm sure there are dozens more that are great.

 

Raiders Of The Lost Ark

 

See?

classic film enthusiast as you are, I am fairly stunned you left of the Grand-daddy of them all: Casablanca.

What about this?

Project Arbiter looks to be pretty cool. It is based off of a short that gathered a lot of buzz, hopefully the expanded story does it justice. The sci-fi element is supposed to be pretty cool, i am looking forward to seeing the cloaking suit in full action

Like I said, that was just off of the top of my head

 

Schindler's List

X-Men: First Class

Enemy At The Gates

Defiance

Apt Pupil

American History X (sorta)

 

There are just so many, and none that I can think of that I disliked.

Valkyrie

The Sound of Music

The Rocketeer!

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only movie anyone has mentioned that I've seen.
