Unconventional Personal Favorite Movies

[Doomsday519]

Movies were a huge part of my childhood and ended up with a good amount that I hold dear. Weirdly enough, MOST of them aren't kids movies. I have those in James & The Giant Peach and the first Rugrats movies as sentimental faves and some of it had to do with those being rare occasions my family went to the movies. But most of my faves came from TV airings, VHS VCR recordings, and a box of cheap VHS tapes my dad "found" one day. With that my faves ended up being movies like Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon, Jackie Chan's The Young Master, that SNL movie Superstar, Rush Hour, and Next Friday. Ended up watching those flicks millions of times .Then thrillers like The Negotiator and Double Jeopardy. Random faves as a boy happened to be The First Wives Club(RIP Diane Keaton) and Death Becomes Her. Had more than a handful of kids movies on VHS including Disney classics from the 90s but they never truly stuck with me as a child

It was actually funny and it's interesting to see what the emojis we always use are like.

I love Dark City. Its so much more than the Matrix ripoff people think it is. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118929

Jennifer Connelly is hot, Rufus Sewell is hot, its just the best.

I love its 1st movie a lot. Never met a person who likes this movie and all my buddies and friends I told this movie about were like "how could you like such a movie *pukes*" lolol. They don't understand how I like the "irony" of a "superhero", how the movie realistically potrays society and makes fun of the world and stuff. Sure the realistic gore is an extra significant fun, the "controversial" scenes are "ewww" but the movie really made for my taste TBH yummy lol.

Usually I talk about horror movies. But one of my favorite movies is a drama called But I'm a Cheerleader. It's about a cheerleader that's a lesbian that gets sent to a camp to try to turn her straight (which is an absolutely evil thing to do to anyone). A lot of the movie felt relatable.

Doesn't get much more unconventional than We Are The Strange.
