In fairness, maybe you're thinking of DeNiro's "DIRTY Grandpa" (RT score: 11%), not the Jackass spinoff (RT score: 60%).

I was the perfect age to have seen The Monster Squad back in '87 and yet, like basically all my friends … I didn't. And in the thirty years since, I've never heard anybody talk about it. I used to see it at the video store, so if that makes it a seminal film … sure.
I think Kramer vs. Kramer is a great movie that holds up really well (I saw it again last month). But I can't help but wonder what Francis Ford Coppola was thinking when, after spending years making "Apocalypse Now," he watches his movie lose Best Picture to a domestic drama set basically entirely on the Upper East…
Best 80s song of the 21st Century. By far.
Robert DeNiro's later career is like what would happen if Meryl Streep decided that, from now on, she only wants to make movies like "Ricki and the Flash."
Phil Collins was insanely prolific in the early-to-mid 1980s.
Alec Baldwin was the Alicia Vikander of 1988 (or Jessica Chastain of 2011 of 1988). Basically the first year he was in feature films, and out comes:
So Alec and Geena are still trapped in that house? It'll have been nearly 30 years by the time the sequel comes out. That's almost as depressing as the concept of the first one - but perfect for Tim Burton, I guess.
Why is this in IMAX, again?
Fully Completely > Day for Night
Mariska Hargitay.
The scene with Steve Park is the apotheosis of cringe comedy. Nothing Curb, Extras, or Louie has ever done has come close to that scene for sheer discomfort.
"Meanwhile, no films directed by women even make the list, and not a single film in the top 20 has a female protagonist."
Mark Rylance is one of the best stage performers I've ever seen. But in "Bridge of Spies" he was … good. Very good, even. But underplayed so much I almost missed it.
It is surprising that fifteen years on, there have been very few big screen 9/11 movies. Off the top of my head, I can think of two ("World Trade Center" and "United 93"). Shocked there haven't been more.
While you Americans had the longbox in the 1980s, we Canadians had hard plastic cases. The album sleeve was at the top, jewel case at the bottom, both impenetrable. You used to need industrial strength scissors to open them.
Isn't it accepted wisdom that "Speed" is the best action movie of the 90s?
And Teen Witch's sister in real life married Deadpool.
Shakespeare in Love, being the last "comedy" to win an Oscar to date.
Because it's been 30 years since the original Ivan Reitman film … "Legal Eagles."
