Boondock Saints. I feel deep shame about this because it's so bad.
Natural Born Killers is another good one. As a teenager i didn't like it and automatically assumed i wasn't intelligent enough to understand it. I tried to convince myself i liked it and put it in my "things i like that identify me" handbag for a brief period because i thought it would make me appear more sophisticated. I pretended to like Natural Born Killers for an audience that didn't exist.

Probably other Oliver Stone movies.

The one where Harrison Ford was framed and the villain has a bionic arm. "Framed". I liked that when young.

Are you referring to The Fugitive?

There are a few scenes in that film that are far-fetched (but, really, what blockbuster action film doesn't have scenes like this?), but I think the film holds up really well. If it's on TV, I'll definitely keep it on.

Yeah, Boondock Saints is definitely another one - OUFF I guess I had blocked that one out.

I loved NBK visually, and the soundtrack was seemingly made for me at that time.
But yeah, Stone goes way off the rails and it's a spectacular piece of crap.

I re-watched the 90's Fugitive recently and still enjoyed it.
DIY and die anyway.

This was on TV recently. I can quote most of the movie from past viewings, and I still like a good deal of this movie including the premise, but.. Lewis conning Betty into having sex with him?! It’s difficult to disagree with you.
