Strangest/Most Distrurbing Films Ever Seen

1) Old Boy

I've seen some flicks, but this movie....this film is the most f*cked up film I have ever seen.  And no, I can't tone down the language when I say that-- it is that f*cked up.  It's a great film overall, but man-- its just....if you've seen it, then you know what I'm talking about.

2) The Audition

Not the best film I've seen, but its one of the most disturbing-- ever.  Its one of those stories where it defies, for me, typical story conventions, but that's the besides the point.  I couldn't convince myself after seeing this that something like this couldn't happen.  And like Old Boy, it was like, what the f*ck-- but not as much as a f*ck as Old Boy.  This can be toned down to something lower, but not by much.  You wont forget this film, and I'm sure guys will think twice about flossing power to get a girl's attention after seeing it.

3) Angel Heart

I remember hearing years ago that Lisa Bonet had been kicked off of The Cosby Show at one point for a movie she had worked in.  If I'm not correct, and I'm pretty sure after watching it, that this is the movie.  And he had good reason to when you think about the world/aura Bill Cosby was trying to create around all of the characters/actors related to his show.  Make no mistake, this is a great film, but man, it's creepy.  And its disturbing on a level that I think only The Omen has hit me on, and maybe even more so than that film.  I say that because The Omen, while it may creep me out like nothing else known to man, I can still watch it.  This film-- I saw it for the first time, I was impressed, but it did creep me out. Bought it, saw it again-- liked it as much and caught a few more things about the story that I didn't catch the first time. The third time I saw it, despite knowing the story, about half way through, something started telling me to turn it off.  The movie was literally creeping me out more the third time I saw it than it did previously.  I think it's because the time between seeing it before, I had learned/seen a few things in life that triggered something subconciously. 

4) 8MM

This film wasn't scary persay.  It was just disturbing.  Disturbing on the level not that someone thought of creating it, but on the level that after watching it and knowing stuff like this happens, just the idea of how much this may be happening is what got to me.  The film held no punches.  If I remember correctly, it was trashed by a lot of critics, mainly stating it was unrealistic-- but I don't know.  First of all it's a movie, so it had to have a climatic ending and an ultimate story. But when you look at the world it took place in, and the "moral" of the story, you really have to ask yourself-- is it really that far fetched?

5) Fight Club

This film wasn't disturbing, but it definitely was weird.  This was meant to be a WTF movie, and it was. Brad and Norton-- you had to like them both in terms of their characters- then as actors too, gave them both even that much more respect because it wasn't what you would expect from either and yet they fit the roles so well-- and it just was so weird.  I know very few who haven't seen this film, so if you're one, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Worst Films I've Ever Seen

1) Batman & Robin

Most of the films I have listed aren't in any particular order, but in this case-- this movie is exactly where it's suppose to be on my list.  I can't put in words how much I despise this movie.  I even tried to watch it a second time about 8 years after its release, just for humor.  The movie was so bad, I couldn't even sit through it for 5 minutes-- I had to change the channel. There is a reason this movie was blamed for killing the franchise-- but then again, maybe if it hadn't, WB wouldn't have revitalized the series with Chris Nolan's direction.

2) Last Action Hero

I don't remember anything from the film except the premise.  I remember seeing it because it was the only PG-13 Arnold action movie I ever heard of, so me and my friends felt like big men because we could actually see one of his movies unlike it his typical R-rated action flicks. Well, we learned better.  There is a reason I do not remember much from this film, and there is a reason it is on this list.  I don't remember how bad this film is, I just know at the time I saw it, the only film that trumped it from being the worst film I had ever seen was Batman and Robin.  Does that still hold true-- I can't say. Do I care to find out-- not at all.

3) Shoot Em' Up

5 Minutes.  That's it-- That's all I saw of this film before I had to turn it off.  I couldn't bare anymore of it- was straight torture.  Not only was it so over the top I couldn't handle it, but then they used a classic Nirvana song to set the mood!! Why take down a classic song with the flick, I don't know.  And it wasn't just that-- it was everything-- EVERYTHING.  Don't believe me- just see the first 5 minutes.  The baby did it for me, that's all I can say.  

4) MP Da' Last Don

This move was bad.  Real bad.  Master P may be one of the people I look up to as an enterepreneur, but my goodness, this film-- if you can call it that.  It was so bad, I couldn't even laugh at it.  I forced myself to watch it all. And while I'm Bout It is a street classic, this-- you just have to see it--if you dare.

5) Cool As Ice

My goodness.  We rented this in college, a group of friends of mine and I-- for a movie nite because we wanted a good laugh. It  was one of those films of lore-- you heard about it over the years, but could never get yourself up to actually watch it, let alone touch it.  We took the plunge one evening and found out where that feeling came from.  Wow-- that's all I could say.  I think the funniest part about it is that you see this film, and you really get the impression that ol' dude was really believing himself, like it was beyond acting. 'Drop the zero, and get with the hero'-- that's one line I'll never forget.

6) X Men 3: The Last Stand

To its credit, this film is probably nowhere near as bad as any of the films also listed here-- BUT it was just as disappointing.  Where do I start-- well I won't because it will take too long.  People that know me like that have heard me fume over this film.  It was the Batman and Robin of the X-Men series-- and that is why it is on this list of mine. 

Favorite Romance Movies

1) Bridget Jones Diary

2) Bridget Jones Diary: Edge of Reason

3) Love Jones

4) Boomerang

This film was one that my parents would not let me see when I was younger.  Saw it years later, and I could see why.  I don't remember how well it did at the box office, but I do remember that at one time, depending on what circle you listened to, this was considered not one of his (Eddie) best.  For those that said that, I think its simply because so many people were use to seeing Eddie Murphy play a loud, overly active/hyper character, and in this film, he toned it down a lot.  It wasn't the type of comedic work he was known for, so I figured it threw a lot of expectations off as a result. These days, its known as another classic-- and it is. And you watch it and see all of these up and coming comedians at the time like Chris Rock, Martin Lawerence, and David Alan Grier-- no one came off wrong in this film. And again, it had a certain level of realism to it.  Oh-- and the soundtrack-- introduced the world to Toni Braxton.  There's a lot of reasons this film has the recognition it does these days.

5) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

6) I Think I Love My Wife

People slept on this.  That's the truth.  Its funny because I think the movie got caught in an awkward position because it was definitely a love story-- but it was for guys.  Any guy who saw this film will probably like it if you ask me.  However, guys don't typically want to see love stories-- females do, and most of the females I know who saw this movie hated it.  They were more angered by Chris Rock's antics and didn't understand them, and upset at Ms. Washington's character.  The impression I got was that many of them saw themselves in the role of Chris Rock's wife in the film (even if some of the said individuals were more like the temptress in real life, but that's a different story...).   As a result, a great film, in my opinion, got caught in the war of the sexes and lost to many as a result. 

7) The Lake House

Movies I Can't Believe I The iked when I was younger

These 3 movies right here-- for years fought for the top spot in the best movies I had ever seen.  The biggest draw for me was the explosions, music, and non-stop action.  I now try to sit and watch these films and they're unbearable, and its only because I remember the exhilaration of watching that I remember why I held them in such high esteem.  You want to know the most ironic part-- it was these 3 films, particularly Demolition Man, that made me certain that I wanted to go into the film industry. Oh, the days of old...

1) Demolition Man

This is the film that made me want to officially get into the tv/film industry.  At the time, I was more into working in comics because I felt movies could not display the intensity/consistency of action that I saw in comics-- until I saw this.  Life changing moment :)

2) Armageddon

I loved it.  Cinematography.  Action.  Comedy.  Explosions.. Music.  Did I mention explosions ?  This became my favorite film of all time upon seeing it.  It was emotional and stuff too.  Great acting.  See-- mind you, I'm saying this all from the perspective I was in at that time it was released.  I tried to watch this film recently about 2 years ago, and I had to turn it off-- couldn't sit through it.  Like Demolition Man, couldn't help but ask myself, so this was the film huh?  Man, I've changed.

3) Independence Day

This film's trailer was the only thing I remember from watching any Superbowl all of these years-- as well as the greatest thing I ever saw during the any Superbowl.  This movie was THE movie. This was the first time I literally was counting down-- for months-- till a movie came out.  First film I insisted on seeing on the day of its release.  I literally blocked out an entire day (at least tried to-- which fell apart ultimately) to make it 'ID4 day' along with my fellow road dawgs at the time (there was a group of 3 of us).   It was the first time we all did that, and we would continue to for some years to come- including with Volcano, Armageddon, and who knows what else in a quest to discover the next ultimate/best movie of all time.  This also was the first and only film (till Armageddon) that was able to compare-- and replace- Demolition Man as my favorite film of all time.  Yeah, ID4 was monumental-- so funny thinking about that now.  I remember sitting there in awe for over half the film-- was just a spectacle to watch. And Vivica Fox helped too-- yeah, this film had everything for a teenage boy. Completely flawless.
