The band RUSH had a funny video/skit they used for a concert showing how they first developed their signature sound.

One of the RUSH guys says “It sounds like crap!” But one of the other RUSH guys says “But some people love crap!”

I’ve traveled extensively in Africa and interacted with many Africans. Just about all of them struck me as people who,if allowed to come to this country,would kiss the ground on arrival and then proceed to be better Americans than many of their cousins whose ancestors were brought here 200-300 years ago.

Zulu is an excellent movie. Will never forget the Zulus appearing in the distance, the Brits completely exhausted and thinking the end is near when the Zulus salute the British warriors and then turn and walk away (with one lone Zulu turning again with final salute). Fantastic moving movie moment.

It seems three of my most underrated movies are financial related; Boiler Room, The Big Short and Margin Call.

My other big sleeper is the original Rollerball. It’s really a very violent tale in the vein of The Fountainhead.

The only one I cared about was, “We Need To Talk About Kevin.”

Very disturbing movie that stays with you.

Oblivion (2013) was an underrated SF film, IMHO. Critics savaged it. I thought a decent 1980s-style SF story.

Re: "Zulu is an excellent movie."

I have one intractable problem with it...

After several days of savage fighting, the Zulus withdraw, and Michael Caine, the senior officer, states that he does not feel great pride, but that he feels ashamed.

That line was an incongruous, pitiful, politically correct sop tossed to the opponents of Colonialism.

No human being who has fought for his own life, and for the lives of his comrades in arms, has ever felt ashamed about surviving a terrible battle.

I really loathe all these click-through clickbait sites. They should say up front what they have to say instead of forcing this on people.

Most of these movies are just meh, so-so, a little above average. I did like Empire Records. Fuse TV used to show it several times every month, so if nothing else was on, you could tune in. It was like you could drop in at the record store and see the gang anytime you liked. One time I watched it all the way through and didn't much like it. It seemed like That Thing You Do was striving for the same vibe, down to having Liv Tyler in the cast.

Annihilation, Daredevil and Jennifer's Body were junk. Owning Mahoney like most of Philip Seymour Hoffman's movies was worth seeing. I hated In a World, mostly because I can't stand Lake Bell. Vanilla Sky -- watch the original Spanish film.

Perfume — better to read the book. It’s short enough.

‘The Red Balloon’ (’Le Ballon Rouge’) is a movie I saw in childhood and will love forever. :)
