A thread for discussing your favorite and least favorite movies.

Favorite:

Citizen Kane (cliche I know but when the shoe fits…)

Worst:

Biodome. I mean, my God how could it be anything else. It made me want to leave this plane of existence all by itself.

For my ally is the Force and a powerful ally, it is.

I’ve sort of come to like and enjoy Temple of Doom, and even to a much lesser extent Crystal Skull. Considered the bad movies in the Indiana Jones series. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best in the series. The only aspect i like in Crystal Skull is it bookends Raiders, and is a fitting end for the series. I have no idea why they have to make a fifth movie. Unless its another one of those passing the torch things like the Disney Star Wars trilogy.

yeah i agree Chainsaw Next Generation (1994) was so freaking awful that i can barely see what is even going on except in certain parts but inside the house you need to brighten your tv but to each their own who enjoy it.
