Ultimate Popcorn Flick Kumite - Voir Dire

After speaking with the Asian Judge, The Killer barely beat Hard Boiled but Chow Yin Fat is stil going to beat .Ken's ass

Maybe .Ken can use his ballet-like athleticism to thwart Chow Yun Fat's attack. BTW, I agree on the Killer over HB but it's close.

True Grit (original)?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

True Grit (original)?

The Duke will also except this

 

[O]

The Professional.

 

[Gee!]

Lethal Weapon? I call shenanigans..

 

[AzStevenCal]

It's hard to find movies to take out ... but it seems that Supertroopers should be included ..... quotable lines, goofy action, boobs, drug & sex references

I also like that there are some goofy movies on there as well

Seems like there should be more Mel Brooks - The Princess Bride or History of the World (pt 1)

I love Mel Brooks and I love The Princess Bride but I'm not aware of any connection between the two. Am I missing something here?

No Roadhouse? Shame on you, Ken!

Veto. Better Off Dead is NOT a guy movie. That is an 80s movie.

There are no vetoes. Also, he changed it from "Guy's Movie" to "Popcorn Movie". Yes, it's an 80's movie...so what? It's a great Popcorn Movie.

I like the movie but it doesn't really strike me as a popcorn flick. I'm not sure we'd ever be able to reach a consensus on what a popcorn movie really is but if it also includes teen romantic comedies we might do better to define the category by what it isn't.

I'd add Urban Cowboy also.

I'd add Urban Cowboy also.

If that's not intended as humor then I retract my objection to Better Off Dead.

Yeah - there isn't ........ i think i just made an arbitrary connection because they always seemed to be on next to each other in college and the booze fused some false paths

Speaking of booze and college ...... something like PCU ..... "will you blow me where the pampers is"

Or how about....

Animal House

How is that not on the list? Wow

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yeah ..... definitely ..... didn't even double check to see if it was ... great flick

too many good movies

I feel like .Ken has never seen a movie before 1980 or a foreign film.

Back off Tarakian!

I'm liking the changes...remember this isn't exclusively my list. It is the product of 13 drunken minds. Sort of like Freddy Kruger is the son of a 1000 maniacs.

I'll recompile the list tomorrow, taking everyone's changes into account. I might even have a run-off for the suggestions that exceed the single switch-out rule.

PS: The Professional is already on the list Jim. I couldn't leave Leon out.

Since we're going with the good movie interpretation of popcorn flick instead of the silly/corny version, pull off Cable Guy and put in Night of the Living Dead (the original).

 

[Cheesebeef]

Cliffhanger
Terminator 2
True Lies
Iron Man
Star Trek
Men In Black
Independence Day
Pirates Of The Carribean (first one)

These are some of my favorite modern era popcorn flicks. Total crowd pleasers.

Cliffhanger? That's the joke of the bunch, right?

i unabashedly love Cliffhanger. I think it's a great action movie, with a breath-taking, surprising opening, a great ridiculous over the top villain and pretty outrageous action sequences, with pretty funny one-liners. it ain't Shakespeare, but it's entertaining as hell to me.

Agreed!

Almost the definition of popcorn flick.

It's a great popcorn flick. I usually look for two things (besides the obvious) in a popcorn movie. It needs to be fun and it needs to be re-watchable. Cliffhanger nails it on both accounts. It's just a little gratuitous nudity away from being the perfect popcorn flick.
