    He did it at football games and rallies for the crowd with regularity. Actually it's probably the primary reason he was elected.

    So much has become suddenly clear.

    Green Mile is a 9, too.

    It's one that I watch if I catch it on.

    i think everybody figured out that your movie judgment was questionable way before now, tbh

    Then they / you should have also surmised that I don't give a **** what they / you think.

    When everyone likes rubbish, I'm happy to be the outcast.

    You don't like Elf, and my cinematic preferences are in question. The richness.

    Second. Making it rain with frogs has got to be one of the more bizarre moments in big screen

    Anyone who doesn't like Elf can gtfo. Also Bad Santa is an under appreciated holiday movie.

    Agree with JQK on Elf. Wasn't a fan. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it? Idk.

    Disagree with JQK on The Godfather.

    Bad Santa is solid.

    Well, there is objective rubbish and then rubbish in one's opinion. I think there are different perspectives one can have on some movies that are equally legitimate. I don't think you have bad taste because you don't like my favorite genera, sci fi. You don't like having to totally suspend disbelief or to be put in a different reality/world. Cool. I have no problem with it because I feel like we are living in a fantasy world of our collective making every day. "Real" is what we say is "real." That may have to do with me having spent too many years trying to take objective measurements with subjective human senses. I dunno.

    Have we done a top 5 movies thread on here? I always enjoy that stuff. The Usual Suspects and City of God are two of my favorites.

    Elf sucked. Bad Santa is hilarious.

    Elf is terrible because of Ferrell.

    Another thing I don't get, is scary/horror movies. Most aren't scary and have terrible plots and acting. The only one I ever watch is the original Halloween, but that's mainly because my wife is absolutely terrified of Michael Myers. Like, can't sleep if she sees him on TV terrified and that makes me laugh.

    Did you know that Myers' mask is actually from an old Halloween costume of Captain Kirk, just painted white?

    We've come full circle.

    Elf and Anchorman are highly overrated and I like most of will ferrel work.

    And even though i liked the movies, the back to future cult is strange.

    Elf is so bad, I'm not sure it can overrated. Anchorman is a really dumb movie, a really dumb movie that has some really funny scenes.
