I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

not really sure how people view it (or even how i’d view it now nearly 30 years on) but i liked that weird Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie when it came out. haven’t seen it since it was in theatres though so not sure what i’d think of it now; i just thought it was neat at the time (and age of 10)

Oh shit, I'm with you. Really good story. Not final fantasy but still really good. I do go back and notice all the uncanny valley stuff now but I'm not as sensitive to it as other people.

Not the worst rating at around a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and around a 6.5 on IMBD, but I absolutely without question love An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.

Definitely a fun "sequel" with a lighter tone than the original. Though I will definitely say the Native American mice scenes are definitely outdated and a product of their time if you ask me.

The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.

Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.

Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.

Bloodsport.

What a great movie! It was also well received by the audience not critics 0, was a financial success and kickstarted Jean-Claude Van damme's career.

Let's not even talk about the soundtrack conceivably one of the best pieces of written music ever made.

(Anybody who's actually ever listen to the soundtrack is currently nodding their heads)

Does Borat the original count?

Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.

3 ninjas absolutely rocked. Especially when they went to Japan, they played a song during the montage training scene that sounded like Blondie's rapture. Loved that movie growing up.
