What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?
I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.
You're viewing a single thread.
Paul (2011) IMHO Frost and Pegg's best movie. Not sure why it's not rated higher, it is simply brilliant.
The Last Starfighter (1984) Epic sci fi flick that was the first to use 3D rendered computer animation. The effects do NOT hold up, but the story sure does.
Chronicles of Riddick (2004) Sequel to Pitch Black and I personally like it much better. Admittedly, that's due to I like that Riddick aims more to sci fi and Pitch Black toward horror. If you like horror more, then you'd probably like Pitch Black better.
I didn't dislike Paul but better than Shaun and Hot Fuzz? Idk man that's really saying something. Agreed on your other movies tho :)
Yes and I will stand by that statement.
Yes, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are also brilliant movies. Both movies are also in Frost and Pegg's exact wheelhouse, Britain.
Paul is another step above, because they so perfectly encapsulated the stupidity of a completely different country and culture. That's why I like it a bit better. Name US writers/ actors that could do the same thing for Britain? I certainly cannot.
That's fair, the UK to US tourist bewilderment is undeniably amusing. Probably resonated with me even more being a UK/US dualie lol.
But there are quotes/references from Hot Fuzz that my American and British friends still say to this day, I can't even recall any one liner funnies from Paul but maybe I just need to give it a rewatch
