Kind of self explanatory title, but I want your top and bottom 5. Just curious. Safe space here, no judging someone for their choices or well no judging them in here, do it elsewhere off Voltra.
Okay so my top 5 in no particular order:
Deadpool
Inside Out
Zootopia
The Help
(despite it being specific on my profile) pretty much all of Don Bluth's films.
Bottom 5:
WTF
Nocturne
All of Rob Zombies movies (on my profile it's narrowed down to two, but I hate them all).
Bio-Dome
Grown Ups
Forums Entertainment Top 5 Movies and Bottom 5 Movies
Top five, in no particular order but still all very good:
Drive
Hardcore Henry
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Bottom five include but are not limited to:
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill
recent Adam Sandler Work
.. Dang, this is hard. That's all I've got for right now. D:
I LIKE a lot of movies a lot but there are few that really truly stick with me. If I HAAAD to throw two on there, it would be Super and Fight Club, but I don't really think those are good enough to go in my top five.

@Addy: Lol it's okay. My top five kind of changes every so often. So my post is my top five for right now, it could change at any new or repeated viewing.
Also your bottom five lol.
Also your bottom five lol.
@another movie addict: I'm really critical of stuff sometimes (even the things I like!) but I can also usually learn from even bad movies, so I can rarely outright haaate them.
Jack and Jill was a two hour long commercial. :<

@Addy: Thankfully I've never had to watch that one, but when I was at a blood plasma donation clinic they put grown ups on and the Paul Blart right after. It was a Hell of Happy Madison bull shit.
@another movie addict: I've never seen Paul Blart but a friend thinks it's fun to watch, so... I wanna try to check it out, haha.
Also I wanna take a moment to defend Hardcore Henry before I get judged too hard. :') It's got NO story but it does EXACTLY what it sets out to be - a ridiculous, over the top action film. There's a musical number. There's humor. And it's visually super impressive.
ANYWHO THAT'S MY RANT AND I'M STICKING TO IT

I don't watch a lot of movies to the point where I haven't seen anything remotely recent... unless it's an animated film!
Top 5 in no particular order and with seemingly no reason (I'm sure I've forgotten some I really liked):
Transporter - Jason Statham is awesome.
Running Scared (2006) - So fun! Can't get it out of my head.
Inception - Pretty good. O.O
The Dark Knight - Yes, really. >.>
Se7en - Morgan Freeman. And a good story. :3
5 worst:
Baa BAA DOOOOK - Just no.
Superman - I forget which one, but one of 'em was REALLY slow.
Dragonball - LOL
The Last Airbender - Another M.Night creation gone wrong.
That M.Night movie with the mermaid at an apartment complex... or maybe another. I've seen a lot of bad movies.

@Dowan: Hell yeah some one else who hates the Babadook. I honestly don't understand the love it gets.
You mean Lady in the Water, and I made the mistake of seeing that in theaters. I gave that shit money. TwT

@Another Movie Addict: It gets love? Really? I just watched it with friends and we laughed SO hard. I couldn't imagine it being successful or anything... but if it is, that's really sad. LOL
Oh man, I feel so bad for you right now. I don't even remember WHY I wanted to see it...
Did his The Village really lure me into watching more? Admittedly the twist to that one was mildly interesting.

@Dowan: Dude The Babadook gets a lot of love. It was something I picked at random one night because I was bored. But some people saw it as so clever, sure it was trying to be clever, but ugh I don't understand.
I was on a date and he picked Lady in the Water.

@Another Movie Addict: Wow, I never knew. We picked it as a Halloween movie to watch because it was supposed to be a horror film... and, well, it wasn't. Even my girlfriend who is easy to spook wasn't majorly affected by it. XD
Can't really... blame him, I think? Unless he knew beforehand how bad it was... LOL
Oh. Another bad movie is one I don't really have to say, but it starts with 50. Watched THAT one with a bigger group of friends. Major delirium ensued.

@Dowan: I thought it would've been so much better if the monster wasn't really and it was all in the mother's head. That would've been so much more disturbing really.
He didn't know it would be awful.
I refuse to see that or it's sequels. REFUSE.

@Another Movie Addict: Yeah. There were really so many ways it could have been improved. It had a TON of potential but the writing fell flat as a board.
I usually 'refuse' to see bad movies as well because I see it as a waste of time, but the significant other loves to see just how bad something is. I usually get dragged along. =D

@Dowan: Sometimes I like watching bad movies, hell I watched The Emoji movie. But there are some bad movies nothing could possibly make me watch them.
My problems with The Babadook come from the monster itself, I was with it when it focused on grief and depression. It's the ghost movie cliches that kept popping up that made me not care for it. Also the:
The keeping it in the basement ending ruined the whole thing for me.
@ghost:
@Another Movie Addict:
@Another Movie Addict:
Oh, I can definitely see it as a psychological film because it does feel like everything going on is in the mother's head. I just didn't have that mentality going into it because... for whatever reason, I bought into it as a horror film. Whether that's on me or whoever was responsible for marketing, I don't know.
I can also understand the ending as the mother accepting whatever part of herself the Babadook represented. She sealed her darkness away, in a sense, and so the Babadook was locked in a literal basement, and in a closet within her mind. 'Sealed' is a good word here because it implies she is putting it away for good, and it won't easily escape. This could signify her overcoming grief and, again, whatever else the monster represents.
It's also safe to say the Babadook was just the mother's own insanity, and she was slowly driving her child nuts. Everything 'supernatural' or cliche that occurred usually only affected her, and in the end she's the only one going to the basement. There's a lot of symbolism throughout the movie which I can analyze and appreciate in a vacuum, but it just didn't deliver on execution for me.

@ghost: And I understand why people see the ending that way. It's just when I got to that ending, to me, it took out all of the maybe/maybe not for me. Instead it made me feel like it wasn't a metaphor and the monster was real the whole time.
Lol this whole conversation is why I love movies.
