Well, there were some funny parts in "There's Something About Mary", but overall I didn't like it. It didn't help that I know someone who looks almost just like Ben Stiller, and every "compromising" scene with him in that movie made me feel like I was watching this person I know - well, it just made me feel weird (kinda embarrassed). 😛
Backfire& Chico from the looks of the pictures you display here I can see the 2 of you watching " Natural Born Killers" and "The Clockwork Orange" and any other wierd movie that has so much blood and guts spilling out all over, killing of children as was in the case of "Natural Born Killers" over and over again and enjoying it.....Did you know that it is a fact the more people walked out on "Natural Born Killers" in the first 1/2 hour than any other movie in history. And demanded to get a refund. And They all got refunds...My sister worked for Unverisal in Calif. at that time. So I disagree with you both. There are some movies that should of never been made!
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (utterly sickening 🤪 )
ANY and ALL talking baby/animal movies (yes, the Look Whose Talking series may have had its ups, but the downs far outweighed them)
The new Star Wars movies - I can't BELIEVE they released that crap after the original 3 - Lucas must be getting senile...
The Harry Potter movies - the BOOKS shouldn't have been "written", either, but honestly, the movies were such utter CRAP I can't even BEGIN to describe it...
All those stupid music-star vehicles(Crossroads, Glitter, the Friday series, rapper movies) 8 Mile was the only somewhat decent one(excepting, of course, the Beatles and the Monkees movies 😄)
The Air Bud movies (what are there, like 7 now? Ugh...)
Daredevil (I blew off one of my school's dances to go see it with friends, and it was SUCH crap that we wished we were at the dance (and believe me, it takes a LOT to WANT to go to one of our dances)...)
I could think of a whole lot more, but I'm too lazy.

I don't use movies as a moral compass and if I did i would have way more problems than could be listed here. For me, movies like Natural Born Killers and A Clockwork Orange are there to show the ugly side of life and as much I would like to live in a perfect utopia where everything is all laughs and sunshine the simple fact is it doesn't exist at least not in this world. So what if people walked out of the movie, they payed its their money. No one says you have to watch the movie. I know there are a few films I wish I had walked out of and not looked back. What I'm getting at is I don't think you can make a moral assumption about me by the movies I watch and which ones I like. By the way it takes more than blood and guts to make a good movie....why must I even make these points?
You are right that life is not all" perfect utopia where everything is all laughs and sunshine" But if you want to see the ugly side of real life just turn on the 5-10 different news channels each day and you will get your full of the ugly side of life. My point is that movies like "Natural Born Killers" are pointless and I do not know one person who liked that movie. I have never heard a good word said about it anywhere! I just do not think anyone needs to see movies like that to point them to the ugly side of life. Oh there are many good things in life many.......And pointing a gun to your head is not one of them! I am getting the feeling here I am talking to a little boy still in Junior High????? That thinks that a picture of a man pointing a gun to his head is sooooo cool..........NOT!!!!!!!!
That man is Eric Bana the ACTOR holding a fake gun to his head as a publicity shot for his movie Chopper. I appreciate the "little boy" comment, by the way, very mature. What I was trying to say in my post is that maybe some people don't see the point of a movie like NBK or A Clockwork Orange and thats cool if they don't, everyone has the right to their opinion. With that said, a movie like NBK was meant to be unpleasant and a bit out of bounds for the normal mainstream audience. Hoping that people would come to see Woody Harrelson and get the total opposite of what they wanted. (so no surprise people walked out) Oliver Stone likes to turn people inside out like that. The movie was ultra-fantastic (cartoon like really) then ultra-horrific in its images just to get you out of your comfort zone. Is it socially relavent? Not really. Does it take you into the world of crazy people and show just how sick and twisted they really are? Yeah and I don't see nothing wrong with knowing how the other side of the lucidity coin lives. Its not pretty, its hard to watch at times, but for me thats interesting. M. Scott Peck says in "A Road Less Traveled": "Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. ... Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly know and accept it — then life is no longer difficult." A movie is not always going to agree with peoples morals, but that doesn't mean because i watch a movie like A Clockwork Orange that i agree with rape or murder. I just watch it because I'm interested in what makes people do things like that. If you want to call that childish then feel free.
Excuse me Kes, but I do not see the word " childish" in any post I made?????? Seems as if everyone here has singled out most movies ever made as being bad. And "chico" you stated ""Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. ... Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly know and accept it " Well I would say that watching your spouse go from a healthy man to dead in 1 month and 10 days is at the top of the difficult list! I know the bad side of life and I do not need movies that marval in rape or murder threw out the whole movie and I mean they go into graphic detail that is on the edge of a rating of triple X is just what this planet we call earth does not need more of. But it is people like you that like and pay to go see those kind of movies that will keep them making them all thow I do not think they have yet to out do "Natural Born Killers" yet. One more thing maybe people went to see that movie because of "Robert Downey Jr"????? Most of Oliver Stone's movies are good. But not that one he went out on a limb with that movie and it broke.

Same thing.
Not everybody enjoys the same movies. Respect that.
If you dont like them thats fine...you dont watch many cos pretty much every movie has violence in them.
Back on topic.
Halloween H20, Glitter, Gigli, Jeepers Creepers 1+2, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Hours, Punch Drunk Love (yet another shotty adam sandler movie), Jaws 4+5, all the batman movies (except the original), Grind, Kung Pow, Urban Legends 2, Final Destination 1+2, Scary Movie 2, About Shmidt, Lost In Space, The Rage:Carrie 2, Rush Hour 1+2, Wayne's World 2, The Ladies' Man, Bowling for Columbine (unneccesary salt in the wound), The Beach, and I also agree with anything by antonio banderas
I agree, he did go out on a limb with that movie and it did indeed break. I liked the movie for the reasons I explained above, but it wasn't the best he's made nor was it the best from that genre. I also didn't like the way he hacked up quentin tarantino's script, but with all that there are some great performances I will take from it and some disturbing images I'd rather not. I hope you know that I hold no ill will toward you Meandyou, in fact, I like it when someone will stand up and defend their opinion.
Curl up&die do you dislike Antonio Banderas too?
I hold no ill will towards you either chico, I guess I do have a thing about standing up and defending my opinion. Okay I also just hate "The Spy Who Shagged Me" for the reason it is stupid. Mike Myers makes me gag.......Well it is Halloween a Happy Halloween to you all. I do not like any Nightmare On Elm Street Movies.Stupid movies. I do like to watch the first "Halloween" Not parts 2,3,4ect.... They went downhill after the first one. Oh a a great movie to watch for Halloween is " Identity".
John Cusack,Ray Liotta are awsome in that movie and it is spooky and one you have to figure out the ending"As I was going up the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish I wish he'd go away "......BOO
