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.

Tron Legacy
Guyver: Dark Hero

There are a lot of fun movies that are considered garbage.
Demolition Man was prime AF!
What seems to be your boggle?
Mostly this:
Highlander two? Man, you do you, but that’s an acquired taste. I’d have a hard time picking to place it above or below Rise of Skywalker.
If you enjoy so bad it’s good: In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.
Everything goes above Rise of Skywalker. Even Human Centipede.
The first Human Centipede was a fucking brilliant psychological horror. The second and third were just awful garbage.
Judge Dredd was quite good even though Stallone took the helmet off a bunch. IIRC he was willing to do the whole thing in helmet, but I bet the money guys needed to see his face.
Never thought I’d see the Angel Family on film, that was wild!
Bonus: The actor playing psychotic cannibal Pa Angel would go on to be the kindly farmer Herschel on Walking Dead.
Karl Urban did a better Dredd. He doesn’t take off the goddamn helmet for even one second :o
Oh, he definitely did, but I think the Stallone version better captured the absolute bonkers feeling of the comics.
I just hope the next time someone tackles it we get the Dark Judges storyline, but that might be too expensive to pull off outside full animation.
Damn, never made that connection about herschel. I like Stallones dredd just because it’s so quotable.
Eat recycled food. It’s good for the environment and okay for you.
Liking Highlander II is so far out of my worldview that I didn’t realise it was an option. What was it you enjoyed about the film?
Keep in mind i am not at all going to claim it is… Good. or logical… or any of that, but it had the almighty BALLS to go big with being WEIRD.
Strange Days is one of my favorite movies, ever! Tough I think it got good reviews but failed at the box office. (I stand corrected, it polarized the reviewers according to Wikipedia.
