Movies that exist

[Dead & Messed Up]

I've never seen the flick, but I respect Oscar's taste in women.

Was gonna do Kyra Sedgwick edition but I looked at her IMDb filmography and my brain exploded from the rush of fuzzy, vague DVD cover memories.

Imagine her poor dutiful family slogging their way through her filmography.

"God, another one? When's this Hollywood discrimination against older actresses gonna kick in?"

"I can't do it. I'm gonna skip Christmas this year so I don't have to pretend anymore."

Here's the true test of forgettable - just post the title and see how many can even remember who was in it, let alone what it was about:

Catch a Fire
People I Know
The Safety of Objects
Paradise Road
City by the Sea
88 Minutes

Disclaimer: I haven't seen any of these. Except maybe City by the Sea. I can't remember.

City by the Sea is the movie where James Franco delivers a better performance than Robert De Niro.

88 Minutes is the Al Pacino movie that led to Jon Avnet getting him and De Niro together.

Speaking of, Righteous Kill deserves a special place for managing to be completely and utterly forgettable despite the fact that it has a historic pairing.

Too easy, but: Lasse Halstrom ca. 2005 edition

[number8]

Al Pacino's actually a good source for the past decade.

[Boner M]

I've neglected to mentions films that embody 'forgettable' so immensely they become memorable...



..."quintessential", even.

Forest Whittaker post-Crash ensemble piece edition:

Your second image isn't working. Which one of these is it?

[Boner M]

It's working for me, but the film is Fragments, which is the title Winged Creatures goes under in the UK. I prefer the former, as it conveys what I imagine is the fragmented narrative of the film.

City by Sea

Made me think of Salton Sea:

[Boner M]

Facing away on the poster... so punk!

[Pop Trash]

This thread just makes me realize how different cinephiles approach movies compared to the general public. Like Boner, I used to work in a video store (not Blockbuster thankfully) and a lot of these were pretty big renters. The Salton Sea (which one of my friends w/good movie taste liked) and The Door in the Floor esp.

[Mr. McGibblets]

S1mone is such a ridiculously bad movie. They develop a holographic person and then in an effort to drum up publicity - decide to hide that fact from the public.

[EvilShoe]

An Unfinished Life and Bridge of something something win so far.

Kevin Spacey edition:





Actually, Eastwood seems to be a pro at making forgettable fluff.

[Irish]

Two of those movies were based on best selling novels and another was Spacey's directorial debut.

Try to stay on topic, Shoe.

Bit more obscure then...

[Grouchy]

"No Hotlinking Please" seems to be a favorite.

[MadMan]

Body of Lies.

I liked that movie.

You've Got Mail was okay. Striking Distance is bad, but its hilarious and entertaining regardless.

Space Cowboys was decent. Old People in Space FTW

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.

That's unintentionally hilarious.

I liked Crazy Heart, but I'll admit its kind of forgettable.

Going through this thread I realized how many of these movies I actually know about. I'm not sure if that's a good thing...

I really like The Salton Sea.

[EyesWideOpen]

I'll never forget Domestic Disturbance. Not because I've seen it but because the poster was hanging in the Blockbuster bathroom I worked at for two years. Having to stare into Travolta's eyes as I peed is something I can never undo.

If I wasn't so anal about my sig's rating-space, I'd sig this.

Directed by Steve Buscemi edition:



(actually, are either of these any good?)

This one is not.
