Re: Underappreciated Movies

[dethtoll]

I want to say Blade Runner, but there was a time once when that movie was hot shit and hugely influential, so I'm not sure it counts. Seems like very few people ever heard of it, though.

So, more obscure flicks:

Session 9: An asbestos clean-up crew gets a juicy deal to clear out the old Danvers asylum, but with just a skeleton crew and a brutally short timetable tensions are running high.

The Jacket: A soldier returns home from the Gulf War after surviving being shot in the head, but suffers bouts of amnesia. He comes to after one such spell to find that he's been accused of murder, and is sent to a mental hospital -- in which he discovers the ability to time travel.

Trouble Man: A black "fixer" in the early 70s who has the adoration of his neighborhood and the grudging respect of the police finds himself pinned for murder by two gangs, one black and one white, who are both eager to see a potential threat gone.

Deep Cover: A black cop from Cincinnati gets recruited for an undercover drug sting in early 90s Los Angeles.

Videodrome: A sleazy cable TV exec in the early 80s, always looking for the next big thing, happens upon a pirate broadcast that seems to focus on BDSM and snuff porn in a mysterious orange room. His attempts to find the source of the broadcast lead to the dark side of television and its relationship with its audience.

Susperia: An American dance student arrives at a prestigious school in Germany only to find that something is deeply off about the place.

I have seen all of these except The Jacket, but I remember Videodrome being unintentionally hilarious a lot of the time.

That might just be the 80's sensibilities though.

Re: Underappreciated Movies

[dethtoll]

Whereas I am capable of not laughing at a movie just because it was made in the 80s. Different strokes, I guess.

Re: Underappreciated Movies

[herpymcderp]

I challenge you to go back and watch the Highlander movie (the one that spawned the TV show) and not laugh at the 80's sensibilities.

Impossible.

Re: Underappreciated Movies

[dethtoll]

I've seen it. I didn't laugh. It's just a movie, man.

I'll never understand this concept of laughing at a movie for the era it was made in, especially 80s movies. I make fun of 90s stuff a lot but that doesn't mean I don't unironically enjoy media made in that era and appreciate the culture and sensibilities that formed them.

Re: Underappreciated Movies

I didn't get the impression Herpy was saying he didn't enjoy these things. Just that he also found them funny. Much like the 90s stuff you make fun of.

How much ax can be left for you to grind, I mean really?

Re: Underappreciated Movies

[dethtoll]

Key word "unironically." Just because everyone has poofy hair doesn't mean it's inherently funny. It just means everyone had poofy hair in the 80s. This isn't a hard concept.

OK Mr. Enlightened One.

Re: Underappreciated Movies

Now who's got an axe to grind?
