It's a classic but I don't understand why. It's the kind of movie where, if you say you don't like it, people look at you with eyes that could kill. |

I rank Forrest Gump up there with The Wizard of Oz and Close Encounters.
All three are hammy as hell, but they never fail to deliver a fun time if viewed every couple of years.

Yes, that infamous Eddie Murphy action/fantasy film. It's dumb as hell, but also creative and a lot of fun. Wouldn't call it great, but there's an oddball quality to it that makes it quite unique.

A three person post apocalyptic play. Margot Robbie and Chris Pine are not only easy on the eyes, but can both act their asses off. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a given at this point.
