**Movies you like from a genre you usually dislike, or starring a performer you usually dislike** 1. _The Searchers_ (I hate Westerns, and don’t especially care for John Wayne, but I loved this) [that happens to be a twofer-- you only need one or the other] 2. _Tombstone_ (I, too, hate Westerns, but this one is an absolute banger. Some of the best lines in cinema history (“I’m your huckleberry.” “HELL’S COMING WITH ME!!!”) 3. _A Few Good Men_ (I am not a fan of Tom Cruise. In many of his movies, he portrays a cocky asshole who cheats and harasses his love interest who is nevertheless loved by everyone and celebrated at the end. IMO, he also announces his lines more than interacts with the other characters around him. These tendencies worked well for him in _A Few Good Men_ though) 4. _Trading Places_ (A very entertaining comedy. Stars among others Jamie Lee Curtis, who I’m not a big fan of through no fault of her own, but e.g. I associate her with characters where she’s a surly, strict mother, c.f. _How to Deal_ and _Freaky Friday_.) 5. _Insomnia_ (I usually grow very, very tired of Robin Williams after about twelve seconds, but let him play a creepy guy in a dark movie, and it clicks.) 6. _Superman_ (The 1978 version. I typically dislike superhero movies, but I still enjoy this one. At the time, it was a fresh, new look at an ingrained part of pop culture, and I never get tired of watching it nowadays.) 7. _Rain Man_ (I don’t usually care for Tom Cruise either.) 8. _Punch Drunk Love_ - I’ve never liked watching Adam Sandler movies, but his role of a man with anger issues (mostly triggered by his six older sisters) finding love really touched me. I still think his comedy is awful but this movie, and _Uncut Gems_ and _The Hustle_ have revealed a side of him I can appreciate. 9. _How The Grinch Stole Christmas_ (2000) — a little Jim Carrey goes a long way with me, and I was adamant that they’d never be able to top the original 1966 Chuck Jones animated version — but I let my significant other talk me into watching it with her this past holiday season, and was pleasantly surprised. We’ll probably rewatch it again this Christmas too. 10. _The Sixth Sense_ - I tend not to like either ghost or horror flicks, but I really liked and was impressed by this movie. It had a clever plot, a fine cast, as well as a heart and a sense of pathos that got to me. Pass. ---

In _Star Wars_, Luke was never seen on screen wearing a floppy hat, watching the battle between Leia’s ship and Vader’s Star Destroyer through his macrobinoculars, or having a reunion with Biggs on Tatooine. All of those scenes were filmed, but never made it into any theatrical or home video release of the film; however, production stills of the scenes appeared on trading cards and in magazines, and the scenes were included in the movie’s novelization, leading many fans to become certain that they’d seen the scenes on screen.
