Any love for Airheads? Used to watch that movie a lot when I was a kid. I also liked You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

Basically, I'm ok with most of the movies he made in the 90s, with Wedding Singer the best of the bunch. His stuff in the 2000s has been trash for the most part. Though I did find myself laughing at Grown Ups 2

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Idk maybe I like the people posting in here and want to see which movies are worth putting on my list?

Lone Survivor just left my bones hurting.

All 4 actors made you love their characters instantly. Those 4 soldiers. The actors honored them the best way I can imagine. My wife and I were just crushed watching that film, knowing what the outcome was going to be.

Another one like that was Taking Chance, with Kevin Bacon. Zero action, just the process of how America brings a fallen soldier home to his/her family. The absolute respect humans show. Just an unbelievable little HBO film.

Stuff like these, you watch once or twice, then put them away. I agree with JRS, being that raw is too difficult in watching a film for entertainment or escape. I rather watch Lethal Weapon for the 500th time than agonize over real life pain. Fruitvale, 9/11, Schindler's, Requiem.

buddy of mine was the camera loader on that one

The Drop was a solid 5/8

 

[T0INE]

 

My top 3 of 2014:

1. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. Godzilla

Damn I thought Godzilla was trash. But monster movies were never really my thing. 

I was expecting more out of Godzilla the way people were raving about it.

It wasn't wasn't a bad movie or anything, I just don't understand the hype for it after watching it.

 

[a-friend]

Funny People is my favorite Sandler movie. Reign over Me is also really good. These are the only "real" movies I have seen from him though.

Can you really consider him overpaid though? I'm not saying he deserves what he makes but isn't he the guy Writing, Producing Starring in and Distributing his own movies.

I got the feeling that the only reason his movies got made in the first place is because he is Jewish.

 

[danger style]

Godzilla was probably the most disappointing movie of the year for me

The Hunger Games was the best movie of 2014

i actually enjoyed grown ups 1 more. 2 felt forced.

Watched this the other day & can say it was in my top 5, Like Father, Like Son. It represented everything I love about movies. A very moving story.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Just watched the 1st episode of Homeland


I'm hooked

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

You watched Birdman yet or nah?

I've seen it. It wasn't for me, however I can see why so many people laud the film. Creative stitching, great performances and very unique. Unfortunately, to me, the story was basic and I had zero emotional investment in the main character (as opposed to say, Andrew in Whiplash). Glad Keaton is getting his time in the spotlight again though.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Sandler got his Netflix deal purely off reputation and their desperation for original content. He's making some nice cake off them to produce garbage that would otherwise flop at the box office. His appeal is waning. I'd like to see more Click/Reign Over Me type movies at this point than his campy schtick, i.e. the Jack and Jill nonsense. He has some talent but settles too much on the frat boy humor that he hasn't excelled at in decades.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Anyone watch this yet? This has me very intrigued. Cotillard hasn't been in enough flicks. I feel that way about Michelle Williams too.

 

[Master Zik]

As of late Sandler has seemed at his best or at least tolerable in more serious films. I prefer that much more from him than another Grown Ups sequel or w/e but I totally understand why he does it, he's on an overpaid list for making subpar comedies for the most part. Can't knock that hustle.

Watched this the other day & can say it was in my top 5, Like Father, Like Son. It represented everything I love about movies. A very moving story.

Too many feels. I hate ****** up premises like this, ****** up in the emotional way I mean.

Damn, to think **** like this goes down around the world Body not ready to watch this.

 

[tay1]

Click was the last movie I liked by dude. Zohan wasn't even all that bad to me, just not a go to the movie type of film.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

BTW, I meant Like Father Like Son was in my Top 5 of this year...

I've never understood the appeal of Sandler comedies or his stand up.

Like a-friend , I did however like Funny People & Reign Over Me.

Movie sucked.

The Hunger Games was the best movie of 2014

confirmation that godzilla is great 

 

[sea manup]

Dustin Diamond a.k.a. Screech is behind bars ... after he was arrested in Wisconsin for allegedly stabbing a man with a switchblade -- TMZ has learned.
 

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Yikes @ Screech. And I thought him releasing a pron vid was going to be his low point.

Back on Sandler, I've heard he was good in Punch Drunk Love too, which I've never seen

 

[stuntman mike]

punch drunk love is my favorite sandler movie.

godzilla or hunger games best of 2014?!! c'mon man.

i thought the interview was ok. maybe a 6/10 for me. sort of amusing.

 

[kingkoopa]

Ok, Debo hooked me up

A Walk Among Tombstones

Fury

Gone Girl

Old Boy (2014)

I won this weekend.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I wanna see them adapt The Age of Miracles to the screen. Novel has a great concept to it that makes an interesting film.
