The most recent example I can think of is Mad Max: Fury Road. I just didn't get the trailers and went in ready to hate it but it ended up being one of my favourite movies of the year. I think when a movie surprises you, whether in a good or a bad way, it sticks out more.

I admire his artistry but his brand of it just isn't something that works for me fully, however both City Lights and especially Modern Times are incredible.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-54096577120733472992016-03-01T18:31:37.107-05:002016-03-01T18:31:37.107-05:00Fair enough, that's a valid complaint.Fair enough, that's a valid complaint.

Then again, I haven't enjoyed anything Rob Reiner did after <i>A Few Good Men</i> (w/ the exception of <i>The American President</i>) as I was kind of annoyed the film and that scene with the mentally-challenged uncle made me cringe in the worst way. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-40301931228252040632016-03-01T16:08:41.043-05:002016-03-01T16:08:41.043-05:00That's a fun idea for a blogathon.

He's variable but has done some really good films, I'll put it on my list to check out.<br /><br />Two came to mind for me that both started out as duty watches for one reason or another but I ended up really enjoying.<br /><br />The first "Limelight" starred Charlie Chaplin who up to that point I wasn't too fond of but I kept seeing it pop up on different best of lists so I decided to give it a shot because it seemed like something I SHOULD have seen, never really the best way to approach a film, and I remained hesitant. It was almost instantaneous though once the film began that I fell under its spell and by the end I was just blown away. <br /><br />The other, "Wings" I put off for years but I had to finally breakdown when I got close to the end of seeing all the Best Picture Oscar winners. A silent movie about flyers in WWI just somehow didn't seem like something that would fit into any of my sweet spots as a movie fan if you know what I mean but WOW it was brilliant! It took me a while to get into its rhythms as it usually does for me with silents but once I adjusted it was fascinating to watch. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-47559277534076181952016-03-01T10:36:02.612-05:002016-03-01T10:36:02.612-05:00It is a very cool idea.
