What are some movies you enjoy, that most people don’t seem to? Myself: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones ---

I’m still pretty fond of **Dune**. And even more fond of the Director’s cut. Yet my family won’t watch it with me unless I employ the Gom Jabbar. ---

Sahara with Matthew McConaughey. I loved it. Great action, fast-moving, funny and I loved Steve Zahn’s character. Joe Vs the Volcano with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I loved the quirkiness of it, the slightly off-kilter storytelling. And also The 13th Warrior. The guys playing the Viking warriors were awesome. ---

I had an Edison record player and three waist high stacks of 85rpm records and my parents gave it to a traveling salesman for some mysterious reason. ---

Fandango. Kevin Costner’s first film, and boy, is he ever a kid in it. Also Judd Nelson and Sam Robards, son of Jason. It’s silly, funny, sweet, wistful, corny and reminds me of my youth. ---

It’s going to sound like a broken record because I’ve happened to bring it up a few times in the last few weeks but I liked both Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad (in fact just rewatched Suicide Squad again today). I think Predator 2 is much better than the first one. I think Amazing Spider-Man 2 (the Andrew Garfield one with Electro) was so good it made me like the first reboot (the one with the Lizard) more retroactively. Not a movie but the episode Expose is in almost every Lost fan’s 5 worst episodes list. It’s in my top 5 episodes list. ---

It’s not so much that people dislike some of my favorite movies, but they’ve never heard of them. One is _The Bravados_, an old Gregory Peck western. Another is _Thursday_, which features a cast of B and C list actors (Mickey Rourke is probably the biggest name), but IMO is a very entertaining film about a former drug dealer trying to leave his past behind. ---

[I Heart Huckabees](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eOLOmCjRPY) is one of my favorite movies in the world. It’s a comedy about existentialism starring Jason Schwartzman, Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman. The entire premise is weird, starting with a guy hiring existential detectives to investigate a series of strange coincidences involving a tall African man. The dialog is weird, the execution is weird, it’s all very weird, but I feel that someone basically put my entire life philosophy into one amazing film. Just rewatching the trailer made me all giddy. 90% of the time when I pop in this DVD for friends, I get blank stares. I guess they just can’t deal with my infinite nature. ---
