@Rambler Yeah, Highlander 2 is terrible but luckily they called it quits before it started producing diminishing returns as lets face it was never gonna match the peaks of the anime, Highlander 5, the cartoon series or both tv shows!
@Kermit1 Maybe I'm in the minority but I didn't love Buckaroo Banzai, it's alright but I don't get the love or it might just be all these Ready Player One fans who pretend/just watched it and claim to love it for years are annoying me.
@jump I love it for how bizarre and nonsensical it is. I've heard more people don't like it then so I think I'm in the minority.
I've never seen Ready Player One, I saw the trailer and thought it looked meh. It looked like the only thing going for it was the Easter eggs and I found out it was based on a pretty mediocre (sorry) book (the sequel's worse from what I've read of it).
I can't remember who recommended it in here, but I closed out my Halloween viewing (it is gone 3am here in the UK) with Thesis and I really liked it! Again, it is hard to know how much of me is just reacting to being so beaten down by tedious, incoherent, Argento films, because Thesis is a fairly derivative idea, executed in quite a strange way (it is a film about violence, with very little in the way of its own) but I dunno, usually any film over 90 minutes just kills me, but I was engaged with this whodunnit throughout despite being about 2 hours. That is serious praise when coming from me.
Unpopular opinion: A Christmas Story was always that movie I would put on to fall asleep to. Never was one of my go to Christmas favorites. Usually Home Alone 2 and Christmas Vacation are my go to Christmas comedies.

@Kermit1 Funnily enough, my mom and I had fun with the Munsters movie, and she use to watch the original series. Actually, after seeing the movie, she actually put the original show on, Peacock was showing it.

@Sunsy The original Munsters series and two films (the films with the old cast) hold up pretty well. Also Car 54, Where Are You! is pretty good and shares two of the same cast members (avoid the movie it holds up worse than the show lol).
@Kermit1 I think my mom found Car 54, Where Are You awhile back. I still found it interesting that Eddie Munster's actor and the actress that played Marilyn made vocal cameos in the new Munsters movie. Butch Patrick was the robot-like monster, and Pat Priest was the airplane announcer IIRC.

@Sunsy I looked into the BTS of the new Munsters movies and it seems like they got lucky with getting Rob Zombie and after that played it safe, even though Rob Zombie is like the best guy to make a Munsters movie and really cares for the source material.
@Kermit1, didn't watch it with the sound on so I can't comment on the dialogue, but if I have one worry it's the scene with the giant hokey CGI slide. Makes it seem way to OTT campy/silly. The original is so endearing because it's relatively believable/relatable, and this looks like it could miss the mark.
Otherwise it has that somewhat cheap vibe that straight to streaming films often have, which isn't a deal breaker but could be an issue.
