Strange Days.

I'm sorry, but can we please stop feeling guilty for liking "Strange Days"?  It's a great, under appreciated movie that didn't do much business because it wasn't sci-fi enough.  

I will totally take the fall for my Rick Springfield collection, but "Strange Days" is good $%^&, and telling me others expresses a sore lack of taste.

Indeed. Strange Days is probably the best cyberpunk movie ever made. It had no chrome, no zaibatsus, and no Gibsonisms. It was, however well written, the twist suprised me and everyone I watched it with, and it was well acted.

And before anyone says it... Bladerunner is not cyberpunk.

My last Shadowrun game was a Lonestar game. The session after character creation i got the group to watch Strange Days and "THAT is why BTL addiction is bad". It totally changed their viewpoint on it.

Angela Bassett, Ralph Fiennes, Tom Sizemore, Juliette Lewis, all that talent AND it was written by James Cameron. It was this movie that first exposed me to Juliette's singing voice and the reason i like Juliette and the Licks.

The title of the thread is movies you loved that everyone else hated. I'm not even talking critics, but friends and family back in the day. I'm not embarrassed about liking any of them.

"Strange Days" is on my entire groups 'Classic' list.

I remember getting the piss taken out of me when I was little for loving 'My Best Friend is a Vampire' though in retrospect that was deserved, along with 'Teen Wolf'.

A cartoon TV series called Roswell, or the Rosswell mysteries or something I enjoyed during the time I should have already grown out of chidlrens TV (I must've been about 19 when I watched that...) It was based around the concept that things like Faeries, Vampires, Werewolves, Yeti etc pretty much all existed and were seperate races of aliens, which the protagnists had to fight (though with reservervations as to the nature of their organisation).

Weird Al's UHF...

Tornado-Ape would agree with me, but there isn't anyone outside my friends and associates that are either fanboys or geeks that like that movie.

Every time I hear someone say "Red Snapper"... I always respond "Ah, very tasty" in a really bad Asian voice.

I would have to say it ...

Two of those really bad movies that I enjoyed as teen includes:

The Stuff
The Archer: Fugutive from the Empire

Both were just aweful, but by the end, you couldn't help but love them for their silliness.

Yeah. I mean, it had a car chase, a whip, a snake, and the hat.

The thing about Indy 4 is you have to look at the movies that would come out during the time period the film actually takes place in ... early 50s Sci Fi. ... Other than that, the rest is all the same. I liked the film for what it does actually.

The best ingle framed shot is after Indy gets out of the refrigerator and crests the hill. It just signifies the changing of the times.
