most underrated movie ever

I think I actually saw this in theaters and remember NOTHING about it.
It’s full of quality plot twists and you have no idea who is the good and bad guys through the whole movie and it was classic eddy griffin from start to finish. Little obnoxious at times but honestly the mix of comedy and uncertainty and plot twists makes it a really under appreciated movie

Top Gun, Shawshank Redemption, and Footloose. 3 movies I haven't seen and feel like I should see. Which one should I start with?

all definitely worth it - all pretty easy to watch
top gun is the most culturally influential and quotable of those 3 but shawshank is probably the best
I think I might save the best for last and start out with Footloose. Either way, I'm excited to watch something new.

I’ve been playing some catch up on movies and finally watched Parasite. It may be my top movie of all time now. Wow.

I'm a movie pleb, so when I went to see Parasite I knew nothing about it going in. True story, I actually thought it was going to be a zombie movie for some reason (I think I heard something about something and got a wire crossed somewhere).

I really enjoyed it, but I feel like a film academic would have a field day interviewing me lol.

Also, Tenet was wild. It requires quite a bit of thinking and the dialogue was pretty hard to follow at times (there were scenes where I picked up more dialogue from the Dutch subtitles than from what I heard), but if you stick through it it's really rewarding and interesting.

It definitely requires multiple viewings, but a lot of parts make it worth watching on the big screen at least once.

ive heard very mixed things
been told its quintessential nolan at his nolaniest for better of for worse (great spectacle, shallow and uninteresting characters who dont really have arcs)

a couple of friends have also said it was quite predictable but simultaneously hard to understand which gives me a lot of trepidation about seeing it personally

does any of that jive with your personal experience of it

N.B. the dialogue being hard to follow is a classic Nolan film sound-mixing problem - it happens in all his films and nobody ever seems to fix it or tell him to fix it

That came out of nowhere. Crazy he was able to keep that battle under wraps in Hollywood. Terrific actor. RIP

Come on 2020.... just stop already. A great actor taken away from us too soon, never knew he had cancer. It's crazy how he managed to film so many movies in between treatments and surgeries, such an inspiration.

To not let that stop his career, and keep pushing and to do the work he did as if he didn't have cancer is truly amazing. RIP

Goddamn, I'm absolutely devastated by this.

Fuck cancer. RIP Chadwick...
