Ask Lemmy

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.

I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

I’d like to see lists where both the tomato meter score and audience score are below 60

Inside (2023) has a 63%, but I find it pretty original and way above that mark

Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It's still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.

Surfer, Dude. - criminally underrated and a great chill movie. Also, "get outside more" is a great theme. I dig it and wish more people did.

Eli, was a fun scary movie. Not sure where all the hate comes from

Dude, 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain is an amazing kids movie. Every actor is clearly having so much fun and the plot's overblown absurdity allows for super fun set piece action sequences.

Speed 2: cruise control

I know its likely unpopular, even for a list like this, but i find myself genuinely enjoying putting it on. Quite often.

It is an action movie, but it isnt all dark & gloomy like so many in the genre. Instead, its bright and sunny. The scenarios genuinely make no sense (ex, door handles apparently dont exist) but the movie still feels fun and entertaining.

I humbly submit First Monday in October.

Genuinely good writing, good discussion about political and legal base principles, censorship, government interference in economic matters, and doesn't characterise either (american political) side as evil.

It's also kinda funny that the movie came out just about at the same time as Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was appointed to the supreme court (without being inspired by it), considering the main characters are pretty much gender swapped Ginsburg and Scalia.

Halloween Ends (2022)

I watched it in theaters when it came out and really liked it. Interesting slasher movie with good scenes and a good plot. Yes, I wish they would have let Cory keep the spirit of Michael alive, but it is probably better to let the character die in peace.

But then i saw all the Michael Myers fans hating on it afterwards and never understood why. 40% on rotten tomatoes.

I, Robot (56%). Didn't care for Will Smith in this role but he did well enough. It was more about the plot for me. Also, if your eyes don't well up when Sonny is about to be terminated you should get checked out.

A Thousand Words, Life on the Line (boy RT really is useless for small indie movies and movies that came out before it was created)
