See, I don't know if the Freeman ones count. It's hard to call a movie forgettable if you never heard of it in the first place.

I saw Playing by Heart for Jon Stewart. He wasn't funny.
This was surprisingly decent.Quoting Winston* (view post)
Bruce Willis has been in a handful of these kinds of things -- The Siege, Tears of the Sun, and .... that movie about the hostage standoff with that weirdly intense kid.Quoting EvilShoe (view post)
So we're all pledging to watch and comment on all these now, right?
I've seen this twice --- accidentally, because I completely forgot that I had seen it before. It took me like 20 minutes to realize it.Quoting DavidSeven (view post)
Same thing happened with one of Jason Statham's movies. I rented it all psyched to see some cop action movie .. Hit play .. Realized after 20 minutes that I had seen it before. (It's the one were he's paired with a gay cop played by Paddy Whatshisname).
There's also the one in which he's an abusive dick.Quoting Brude (view post)
Similar plot in this:
Which reminds me of other bland erotic fare such as this

@EvilShoe :lol: I've never even heard of that Jackman movie before today.
Are all these from the same period? Seems like a lot of them are modeled on bigger successes like Sleeping with the Enemy, Kiss the Girls and The Last Boy Scout.
Big successes? Never heard of these films.Quoting Brude (view post)

I think Rich Man's Wife was trying to do that Basic Instinct kind of thing. No idea who decided Deception was a good idea.

Seriously? Kiss The Girls was succesfull enough to get a sequel, and Sleeping with the Enemy solidified Julia Roberts' career.Quoting Qrazy (view post)

Nice! They actually predate those other movies. That's interesting.Quoting EvilShoe (view post)
Suddenly reminded of The Bone Collector:
Seen it. No memory of it.
Shrug. I have not heard one person mention either of those films in the last 10 years of my being an avid film viewer. The latter makes sense that I never would have heard of it because I was 6 years old when it came out. The former I have heard of the sequel but not the original.Quoting EvilShoe (view post)

I saw Feast of Love, and I find it very memorable because there's a scene where Morgan Freeman smiles proudly as he watches two teenagers have sex in the middle of a football field. It's kind of unforgettable.

Sleeping with the Enemy got a lot of attention because it was the first movie Julia Roberts did after Pretty Woman.Quoting Qrazy (view post)
Kiss the Girls was Ashley Judd's commercial breakout. She got positive critical notice for Ruby in Paradise, then was paired with Morgan Freeman (post Shawshank) in a thriller based on a popular novel by James Patterson. She then went on to star in several similar thrillers. (There's one with Ewan McGregor called Eye of the Beholder which is just God awful).
As Shoe notes, the pair made another movie afterwards too -- and the character played by Freeman (Alex Cross) was recently featured in a 'reboot' attempt.
Kiss The Girls was the first R rated movie I ever saw that wasn't edited for television. I saw it at Sven's house.
