Ever have a film that your rational mind just blots out, possibly for your own good, leaving you puzzled with a maddening sense of familiarity? Something like this:
I did see it in the theatre. With other people, including a friend who was really looking forward to it. I remember a lot of images on a big screen, and sounds thet were like a language I thought I knew, and then it was over. My friend didn’t look at me after that, and was quiet the whole way home. I don’t remember anything more, and I’m having an insidous urge to rent the movie and see what actually happened, but some inner voice or daemon has warned me against it. Today a co-worker laughed at me derisively when I proclamed my dislike of that movie, leaving me puzzled and uncertain. My memory is a gaping hole, a yawning abyss in need of solace. Please, oh wise and powerful fellow Dopers, did Bulletproof Monk suck?
I recently watched Charlies Angels 2 on DVD and despite being sober through the whole thing still can’t remember much other than Cameron Diaz butt wiggle.
I kinda remember something about a ten year old boy who lives with his single mother, his older brother, and his younger sister. Anyway, the boy discovers an extra-terrestrial who had been left behind when his space ship landed in the woods near the boy’s house.
The boy befriends the alien by offering it Reeses Pieces. The boy and the alien start to feel each other’s feelings and we think the alien dies but he doesn’t and in the end he gets to go home (after contacting his people with a Speak and Spell and an Umbrella).
Does anyone else remember a movie like that? I can’t, for the life of me, remember what it was. Maybe I just imagined it.

Anything I saw with my first BF in high school. It was the only place we could get any peace and quiet, but I missed a lot of really good movies that way. (Except Young Frankenstein, which we saw for the umpteenth time as a double date with my dad and then-stepmom-to-be.)
