ITT: We discuss based movies that are -maybe- 'objectively' not that good, fuck up the ending, do not have a very indulging plot and/or have bad acting.
But you love them for that.
Movies you watch more often than Citizen Kane or TDKR, although you know Citizen is the superior movie and you should watch it more often. There's just something about these movies.
Pic related:
Kurt Russel in Breakdown (personally highly recommended) kicking ass as a generic man that goes to save his woman and all of a sudden is very, very resourceful and skilled. No matter how unrealistic it is, it stands symbolic for what a man will (and possibly can) do for a woman when he loves her.
The late J.T Walsh' performance as the bad guy family man is also pretty memorable and menacing.
The action scene where Jeff climbs under the truck is one of my favorite action sequences. But apart from solid action sequences there is real suspense/tension throughout.Also, what did you think of the fact they eventually dropped the truck on Red? did he deserve it? was it the right way to go for the movie and what would you have done irl?

I'm only in this thread to agree that Breakdown is indeed a sweetass and underrated movie.
The Princess and the Warrior is my favorite romance film of all time.
A romance film made by Germans.
Fite me fuckers.
Will def check out breakdown

And I prefer the bit where *spoilers* he walks in on the family while they're eating and the kid comes out with the shotgun. Dat tension.

so whats your opinion on the truck at the end?

The whole families reaction to him walking into the kitchen is priceless.
Beyond the Reach was a great flick ruined by a shitty protag and a hilariously bad ending

yeah. i think that is good movie making to show the kid coming up for his dad although his dad is probably a psychopath. hmm makes me wonder, maybe JT's character was indeed a psychopath. His care for his family seemed really utilitarian. I bet he didnt even really love his son. because heasked him to pull the trigger

Well, the wife pulling the break off seemed a *little* bit forced, but shit, the rest of the movie was great. Also that bit where the highway trooper gets gunned down on the road was fucking brilliant. Did they ever release that on Bluray/HD? I might have to watch the movie again.

*handbrake

it's not even that bit, it's the bit where the kid starts crying. And I love the bit where Russell kicks JT down the basement hole thing where his wife was being kept. Fuck, that was a well directed movie.
>just now I look up what else Jonathan Mostow (the director) has directed:
>Breakdown (1997)
>U-571 (2000)
>Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
...what the fuck?
Fucking magical movie.
