He’s got good taste in movies; he’s welcome to hang out at my place and watch anything in my collection.

Not exactly a controversial list.

Complete WAG but this smells a lot like a publicist’s bullshit.

Well…

The only two I hadn’t heard of (The Neon Demon and The Bad Batch) are low budget…wait for it…Keanu Reeves films.

This is more of a stealth commercial than even a “hey I like these movies, you might, too” list.

I’ve seen 11 of them and the ones I haven’t seen I don’t plan to. I was kind of hoping this _was_ a rate the Keanu movies thread. Also, he was in The Neon Demon? I don’t remember him being in that one (I just remember it was weird).

_The Evil Dead_ rather than _The Evil Dead 2_? That’s just crazy talk.
