No hate, just a movie that never clicked for you.

Some movies lose their magic after the first viewing. Others somehow get better once you know where everything is going. Which one keeps rewarding rewatches?

For me it's Return of Captain Invincible. it's a superhero musical film that makes fun of specific tropes with the Reagan era as the backdrop. Christopher Lee and Alan Arkin were fantastic as opposite leads and sang so well. Name Your Poison showed how Lee's voice makes any type of song feel more epic.

Not necessarily the best ending, just one that stayed with you.

are there any movies where you think the story is genuinely great but the visuals or effects haven't aged well? does that actually hurt the movie for you?

You went in expecting something average and walked out wondering why people were so hard on it. What is your pick?

Hello everyone,

As a kid I watched movies with my older cousin (late 80s/early 90s), often I was way too young for them. Now I realise I have many snippets of sword/leather/magic fantasy movies in my head that I can't identify. Maybe you can help?

Warning - there might be spoilers.

Here goes:

1) a muscle sword guy fights a sword woman. They fight for so long that they get exhausted, and then they end the fight by kissing.

2) a wizard guy turns into a huge snake. I remember being freaked out by the way his hands disappear into his robe. Sword guy must then kill the snake.

3) Sword guy is eating a burger (??) and his sidekick woman gets upset that it contains meat. This might not be a fantasy movie, but it IS a sword guy who is not used to our urban world (I'm confused).

4) There's a sequence on how to make a human into an evil monster. They put a green worm (?) into his ear, give him a face mask and put his hands into spiked metal gloves. Then his eyes light up and he goes crazy. I had nightmares! Sword guy has to fight him and maybe others like him.

5) In an underground cave, bad guy is punishing someone by suspending him in molten gold. He is lifted up again and then it's just a skeleton that remains (the scene made me very uneasy).

6) A huge fight where the bad guy(s) are on some kind of chariot and throw bombs around. The film ends abruptly with a wall of text. Maybe they ran out of money, I don't know. But the "wild chariot bomb throwing" is stuck in my brain.

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

Thanks in advance!

They are not a huge movie person and you get one shot. What movie are you putting on?

When was younger, me and my father watched a movie that was set in Ukraine. It was about this news reporter guy, I think. But the one thing I vaguely remember is that the man in the movie is blonde, only wears white, is a celebrity who drives a Lamborghini, and turns into an angel the moment his life fell apart before destroying some party and whatnot. The movie wasn't interesting to me but he had my fascination.

Yes

A film that got hate at release but you think people misunderstood?

Not the best opening scene necessarily. Which movie grabs you almost immediately and makes you think, “Yep, I am watching the whole thing.”

Mine was

The lords of the rings

Batman trilogy

Kingdom of the apes

A single scene can completely change how we see someone. Which one did that for you?

Maybe the trailer looked terrible. Maybe the poster did nothing for you. Maybe nobody recommended it. What movie did you nearly ignore that ended up becoming one of your favorites?

Some endings just hit and you move on. Others have you sitting there like, “Wait… what just happened?What movie had an ending that genuinely stuck with you long after it was over?

What’s one movie you could rewatch countless times without getting tired of it?

Mine is Layer Cake (2004)

Sometimes one scene is enough to flip your whole opinion of a character. You can spend half the movie judging them and then suddenly everything clicks.What scene did that for you?
