thats one of the few movies i'll watch even if theres only 10 minutes left

Rank the movies that are great even if you only catch ten random minutes on TV:

Die Hard
Planet of the Apes
Temple of Doom
First Blood (Rambo 1)
The Princess Bride
Billy Madison
Meet the Parents
Office Space
Elf

Great list but lets be honest and throw Shawshenk on there or any star wars!

That read like a dime post

Shawshank is a good one too, but I don't know about SW. I kinda have to watch those all the way through, with no commercials.

Two more I'd add to the above list:

The Departed
Goodfellas

I can pretty much turn it to AMC or something, and watch those while flipping to other channels / doing house chores. Either are good to have on if you're folding clothes.

Say what you will about the originals, but the soundtrack has been great.

These are all on HBO on demand, and I've been thinking of checking them out. Is it worth it?

That's why, they're on HBO, and I figured why not? I've never seen them, and I like going back and watching classics to see how things were, differences in words and enunciations, fashion, images of what they thought the future could be (as seen in Conquest), etc...

I've enjoyed watching them, so I'd say yeah, it's worth it. I mean, they're old, and hokey, but I kinda like them.

Trainwreck.

Some decent laughs. I continue to like Bill Hader more and more. LeBron James is at least better than Michael Jordan at acting. The movie is too long. The script wobbles at times. Judd Apatow is too big/good of a fan to be a good director. It would have been a brilliant 30-60min "sketch" on Amy's tv show. Loved seeing a fresh female perspective. I hope Hollywood continues to give ladies a voice and I look forward to seeing what Amy does in the future.

The movie length was my biggest problem with it. I liked it ok n'all, but it should have been 90 minutes or less. I got kinda bored watching it and started RMing.

1. Planet ('68)
2. Conquest
3. Rise
4. Escape
5. Planet ('01)
6. Beneath
7. Dawn
8. Battle

Simple Torture wrote: Mad Max is just not my type of movie, and I knew it ten minutes in, but I watched the whole thing anyway. I can appreciate the craft behind the whole thing, but I didn't feel connected to the characters and the scope of the plot wasn't very gripping. I just don't think I'm a fan of actions movies.

My wife had a similar reaction. I think she said "all they did was drive one way, then cry, turn around, and drive the other way." I think the reason I liked it was (and some here may find this hard to believe) was the presentation of feminism inside the context of the action. The metaphor for social change was presented in a far superior to manner to more heavy-hand action sci-fi like the forgettable District 9 and Hardy was able to portray the modern concept of the "ally" without resorting to being a shell of character we often in those situations.
