My Mormon parents (who don't allow rated R movies in the house) were watching a "clean" version of Wedding Crashers
I came home one night years ago and my parents were sitting watching Wedding Crashers. I recognized it immediately and was like.. "Hey, what are you watching?"They said a really funny movie called wedding crashers, have you seen it? I told them it was rated R and they said they got it from clean flix, a Mormon company that takes out any sex, swearing, violence, or basically anything inappropriate from movies.My question is.. what was left? The movie is literally about crashing weddings to sleep with girls. I really want to watch it just to know what my parents think wedding crashers is about. Was it 15 minutes long? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/MbASE5e
What is a movie that is good for watching only once? Mine is Uncut Gems.
So this is a weird question but are there movies you are glad to have watched but don't want to watch again? It makes no sense, I know, but I am hoping some of you have experienced this and can give me an answer.For me it's the movie Uncut Gems, which made me totally anxious. There was something chaotic about it. Maybe it's the camerawork, just know it made me anxious but not in a good way that I would want to watch it (like a horror movie). Anyhow, I am glad I watched it and I think it was well made but once was enough. You? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/e3a6EAp

What are some of the worst movie lines/dialogue ever?
In your opinion, what are some of the worst movie lines/dialogue ever? Lines and dialogue spoken in the film that is just an example of poor scriptwriting and you sometime wonder who approved those words to be place in the film in the first place.For example, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. There's a lot of bad lines and dialogue throughout but...damn it's bad. "Too Bad YOU!....Will Die". via /r/movies https://ift.tt/4AdySwH
I really want Hollywood to remake/reboot BAD movies, not successful ones. What would be your choice?
Yeah yeah, I know, in Hollywood executives'mind, it's more obvious to reboot or remake the successful movies, and not the bad ones. "Everyone loved that movie 5/10/20 years ago, let's just make it again with a new cast without changing anything, and shower in easy movie", and " That movie flopped so HARD, it must be because no one want to see it/the story is not interesting, let's never talk about it again at all".We usually see MORE bad reboots, where they are done without any soul or understanding of what made the original so great.Case in point for movies that should never have been rebooted/remade : Total recall, RoboCop, Ghostbusters (with Legacy being more honest/better than number 3)Now, I would prefer reboots/remake of those which are considered "bad or awful movies", that we have really low chance to see again, with a good scenario, cast, action scenes, director....What would be your selection of movies to reboot ? My personal choices :the Dark Tower : when you see The Hobbit extended for so long with so little base material, and that the Dark Tower is a 1h 1/2 movie, I think it deserves another chance. Do something like Everything everywhere all at once, explore all the worlds of that universe and don't be afraid to build the world.Avatar the last airbender : give that story to Stephen Chow and let him go wild with his style. I know he doesn't do much movies now but he would be great for this.Mortal Engines : we had something that seemed so promising (moving cities that eat each others !!), and is so forgettable.-Eragon/Dungeon and Dragon : let's remake those type of movies but treat it like Lord of the rings, not like Scary movie.X- Men Origins Wolverine: everyone agree that the best part of the movie was the beginning credit with every war where Logan fought. Let's just make a movie centered on that, the story of someone who is hundreds years old and every important moments in history that he witnessed : Forrest Gump but instead of being a ping pong champion, the hero is a slaughtering champion.Recent Disney or teen movies : A wrinkle in time, Artemus Fowl, World of tomorrow, Percy Jackson.... I heard that the books that those movies are based on are excellent, yet the movies are...not so good, especially for fans of the books.So, if you had unlimited budget, cast and director of choice, what would you want to see again on the big screen ? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/iuXMxd5
The 28 days later “infected” are terrifying
The way this movie is done is just perfect. The POV from the infected when they are running and the survivors don’t know it yet- my god. Pure dread. That is terrifying shit. I watched it a while back but didn’t remember what happened and rewatching it now has made me remember what a good film it was. The best horror movie I’ve seen in a while. If you haven’t seen it, and you like horror, WATCH IT. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/WxlmoAT
What is the most corporate movie ever made?
Every one knows that the movies are a business and that a lot of modern blockbusters are not headed by an auteur, but instead manufactured by a studio with only one goal: make money.The first example that comes to mind for me is Men in Black: International. It's based off a popular IP, stars two likable and charismatic leads that have proven profitable in MARVEL movies, was written by the people who wrote some of the Transformers movies, and was handed to a mediocre director with a history of turning a profit. There doesn't feel like there's a shred of creativity in the film.Another example is Red Notice. A profitable director makes a generic, big budget action comedy with some of Hollywood's most bankable stars.What are some of the most egregious examples of a blatant studio job, made purely for profit and without an ounce of creativity? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/C1vd4mA
What’s a movie that was unexpectedly good?
I’m looking for good movies that you happened upon. One that’s maybe didn’t get much hype or flew under the radar and were a pleasant surprise.A few recent recent examples for me would be Palm Springs, Klaus, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.Some may have had more mainstream success like Spider-Verse, but that movie was surprisingly one of my favorites from that year. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/6B0O3SK
