I thought about Paris is Burning, too, as an influential cult film, but decided in favor of Grey Gardens instead.Gaeta1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713581765217201673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-65371252057519801672020-12-24T18:06:45.132-06:002020-12-24T18:06:45.132-06:00Hot Fuzz is my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy mo...<i>Hot Fuzz</i> is my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy movies. It's not perfect, but it's very much in earnest, and of all the movies is the one that is the most clearly a parody of a specific genre or subgenre. <br /><br />I haven't rewatched <i>The Hours</i> either, but as I said, it's a movie I think about--that kind of power means something.<br /><br />I adore <i>Galaxy Quest</i>. Everyone in the cast is perfect in the role, and it's made with such genuine love that it's impossible not to like.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-20097853879087758342020-12-24T17:43:33.898-06:002020-12-24T17:43:33.898-06:00The Court Jester is fun.

Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder are so perfectly cast that anyone else in the roles is unimaginable plus they are surrounded with a cast that is pitch perfect in their reading of their roles and jump right into the spirit of the movie. <br /><br />Same goes for Galaxy Quest. I had to be talked into going to see it in the theatre but was so glad I did!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-40246327380725870312020-12-24T15:52:49.942-06:002020-12-24T15:52:49.942-06:00With the exception of The Court Jester and Paris i...With the exception of <i>The Court Jester</i> and <i>Paris is Burning</i> which I haven't seen while I don't have a high opinion on <i>The Hours</i>, the rest I can totally go on board with. Plus, I think <i>Superman</i> is and always shall be the greatest superhero film ever made. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-4214065151056248772020-12-24T14:17:14.122-06:002020-12-24T14:17:14.122-06:00Why did I think Superman was already on the list? ...Why did I think <i>Superman</i> was already on the list?
