Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
This film had a great Goldsmith score, and a very interesting scene where we saw the birth of Spock. The guy who played Spock's father was well cast. I also thought the part with McCoy's turmoil over the death of his father was done well.

Tron: Legacy

It had good editing. They edited the video around the score, rather than the other way around. Therefore, the recording versions are ALSO the film versions. :)
The franchises I get nerdy about are so obscure that not even most nerds know about them.

I thought TRON: Legacy was pretty awesome, myself. I thought the movie was a good followup to the original, and of course the score was amazing.

Batman & Robin
The over the top nature makes for a surprisingly enjoyable experience. I also like the very colorful palette, and Goldenthal's score.

I don't dislike the film, far from it. However, I recognize the poor production. I read a book about the production from start to release. With Paramount continually cutting the budget even after green-lighting the project and the writers' guild strike at the time, it's a wonder it came out at all.
That said; My positive take on it is that the story of the film - someone high-jacks a star ship so they can go see God - is an awesome idea for a science fiction film. Too bad things worked against its being handled as well as it could have been.

Sir, I must inform you that a barrel roll is horizontal. You mean something more along the lines of a somersault.

Shatner's i need my pain line was pretty good.

True, but somersaults aren't nearly as cool as barrel rolls. ;) Though neither of them are as stupid as wintersugars.

I agree. To me, the most telling moment of what makes that charter in all the films or TV shows. I think of that line often because it resonates more as I get older. The journey makes you who you are.

He's right.
The train scene at the beginning of Super 8 was amazing.
I'm sorry, you must be looking for the "Praise a Good Movie" thread. ;-)

I can say something nice about howard the duck, Lea Thompson is in it,lol.
Howard The Duck was way ahead of its time.
When HTD came out in 1986, the only successful superhero film franchise at that time was Donner/Reeve Superman, and even that was starting to fade out. Burton/Keaton Batman was still three years away and the modern era of superhero films that started with Blade and X-Men was another 10 years after that.
Howard is also a very "out there" character - you can't explain him in one sentence and expect someone to "get it". He's not your traditional hero with powers and a costume. The only people who were able to really tune in to it (like me) were ones who knew enough about the character to run with the concept but not enough to nitpick the details that had to be changed/deleted/ignored for the transition to film.
The film also took a hard left about halfway thru with the whole Dark Overlord aspect which again, if you weren't a bit of a sci-fi comic book geek going in, was just going to throw you for even more of a loop.
Had HTD come out 20 years later in 2006 in the midst of all the other superhero films, it would have been much better received - nowhere near as high as Nolan/Bale Batman or even Raimi/Maguire Spider-Man, but it would have probably held its own against FF, Daredevil, Elektra and HellBoy.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

Thanks.
That said though, I'm telling the truth up there, not just playing this thread's game. Seriously - go watch HTD in the context of the past 10 years worth of superhero films - it's not the disaster people remember it being in 1986.

Bad Girls has Drew Barrymore in it.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
The moment when Yoda arrives on Geonosis with the Clones is fucking awesome.
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

I really liked the opening of AOTC (even if it broke the pan down rule).
The Naboo ships descending into the foggy Coruscant spirescape felt very 'Star Warsy' in a way that hardly anything in TPM did.
It worked right until Captain Eyepatch opened his big mouth.
