Oscar (1991).

I think it bombed because the typical Stallone movie-goer of the early 1990s was expecting an action shoot-em-up, not a screwball comedy.

And also, this is a terrible, terrible trailer:

...because, among other things, THIS ISN'T THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE AT ALL.

The actual plot is: Gangster Angelo "Snaps" Provolone promises his dying father that he will give up a life of crime, and instead "go straight." And then... well... misunderstandings occur.

It's not directed or written wonderfully, but the incredible cast carries the film.

Nothing in Common. Jackie Gleason and Tom Hanks, in one of Tom’s first somewhat dramatic performances, and Jackie’s last before he died. I watched it within the last year, and I thought it was still really good—Gleason and Hanks gave great performances—but it was incredibly dated with the mid-80’s fashion and music.

Only seen it once but I thought Death to Smoochy (ed norton) was hilarious.

Popular but popularly-panned movie is Watchmen and for my money it beats the pants out of all this Marvel whatever stuff people are hyped on.

The Watchman is a good call. Had no expectations going in, it blew me away. The comic fanboys didnt like that they don’t make a giant CGI squid to destroy New York or something.

Third on the Watchmen. I'm a comic fanboy (of that comic graphic novel anyway), and I thought both the graphic novel and the movie were awesome.

 

My pick is the first and second Resident Evil movies.

Along with smoking Sela Ward and a young Bess Armstrong.

Great Outdoors

 

Oh yes, this was a great one.

 

 

Another Farrelly brother was the one where Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear were Siamese twins.

 

Gung Ho with Michael Keaton.  Great flick.

I didn't give Watchmen a chance when it first came out. After watching the HBO series I went back and watched the movie and fucking loved it.

Good calls on Used Cars, Gung Ho and Great Outdoors.  I think another underrated Candy film is Summer Rental.  

Gonna watch used cars this weekend. My brother has been on me about this for years. Summer rental is not underrated it’s a CLASSIC so is great outdoors. Gung Ho is super underrated! Great movie. Same brother and I used to quote the dinner scene at dinners we didn’t like the food at “Len leaned over to me and said hey you gonna finish that? What am I gonna say no?” Then scrape all our food on each other’s plate which when we were younger got a us a slap or chased with a wooden spoon from Nonna. Any csb
