Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)
When I was a kid I was blown away by Tron (1982), the special effects seemed incredible
Unpopular opinion - The Big Lebowski (1998) was just OK, nothing special.
True Grit (2010)
Iron Man (2008)

THE DUDE
al3xinw0nderland0000
Valid unpopular opinion. It was aight as a movie, it just made such a cultural impact that it's remembered. It might be more the character than the movie that's so good it's remembered. Ya know? Which is nothing but credit for Jeff Bridges.

Tron was incredible. And I love how as technology advanced in the real world, so did the graphics in grid advance. You hear that hard drive clicking sfter phill colins, thats the virtual gpu rendering for "The Games".

The one line I remember from that movie!

I was only 7 years old when I saw him in the movie Tron (80’s version), and strangely I didn’t even reach puberty yet, but I had a huge secret gay crush on Jeff. Still do

My gramma was hesitant to let me see it during one summer as it was pg13 i think, but she called my cousin who saw it and said it had a polite kiss in it.

It got mixed reviews but I finally got around to watching "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and quite enjoyed it. While not a Coen brothers movie, it has so many alums it feels like one
EternallyIgnorant
I really thought I would like it from the trailer, then didnt.

The book is great, Jon Ronson has a load of good books.

Them is one of my favorite books.

Watched a show he starred in recently titled “The Old Man” was pretty good!
TheWheelIsSpinningButTheMouseIsDead
Damn good I'd say - season 2 just out!
GravyEducation
You don't have to like The Big Lebowski, it's actually a polarizing movie despite its success. The first time I watched it I thought it was okay. Then I watched it again and again and it achieved "keeps getting funnier every time I see it" status, now it's my favorite movie
Nuraalek
Maybe I should give it another go - I felt the same way about Office Space and that's become my comfort movie.
EternallyIgnorant
Another one is Idiocracy (say guy who made office space). I dont know how it would differ to watch it for the first time now though. But watching it 20 years ago and then seeing the world develop as it has, with smartphone addiction, increased corporate power and a reality show actor as president... its depressingly hilarious.
GravyEducation
No pressure, but yeah that was my experience and I didn't even go into it knowing how much of a cult classic it was so I didn't have any bias in terms of "Everybody says this movie is amazing" and I still was only like yeah it's good I guess. I have convinced a lot of people to watch it and I usually recommend it like that... telling them I didn't love it the first time. And yeah a lot of people come back and say it was just okay. Different strokes, strikes and gutters
DALLASLAVOWNER
I'm like that with Young Frankenstein
Findrek
I've had similar experiences with both those movies and now that I think about it there is some similarity in the comedic style and delivery.

Never thought the dude could be so menacing. Considering Bridges said "They didn't have a script, man" he really brought it.
GravyEducation
Bridges is in no small part responsible for the success of Iron Man and therefore the success of the MCU. If RDJ and Bridges hadn't put their all into that movie, for better or worse depending on your opinions, we would not have the same landscape in film.
thedudeman519
Back when Marvel films was a relatively small studio. They took a chance giving Jon Favreau the helm. And he decided to make a good , character driven story ,that happened to be about Iron Man.
I wish that Disney Marvel would remember that and trust their directors a bit more. And stop trying to write everyone as quippy and quirky. I do have hope for the new Captain America flick .
GravyEducation
Honestly the Thunderbolts looks like it could be really good as Marvels response to Suicide Squad
thedudeman519
It does look pretty fun. And I do like most of the characters that are going to be there. Plus seeing Sentry will be awesome !

True Grit is a masterpiece.

Definitely a movie worth remaking and also launched Hailee Steinfeld's acting career
likerice
I came here to say exactly this. Thank you
derekjohn
Dare I say it ? - yes I dare - it's better than the John Wayne version, and both Mr Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld were outstanding
GravyEducation
I'm a huge Western aficionado and yes you may dare because you're right. My point can be simply proven by the way that technology effected the filming of the final fight. Once you see the remake, the original looks so laughably small and less tense for that final sniper shot
Gerokeymaster
*Way* better. Aside from Wayne just being an all-around awful person, he just didn't fit the role for Cogburn. He'd played too many straight versions of the same character-type for him to play a subversion like that, it just didn't work (at least for me watching it). I also really like that it stayed closer to the plot of the original book than the Wayne version did.
literallymike
Also, Kathryn Hepburn just comes across as a weirdo. Hailee Steinfeld played it so well.
Righteousdew
Katharine.
mardis
Kim Darby played the Hailee Steinfield role (Mattie Ross). Katherine Hepburn was in “Rooster Cogburn”…
literallymike
Oooohhh, gotcha. I knew True Grit (2010) was an amalgam of both of them, but I thought they were essentially the same movie. I didn't realize there was a cross-pollination of the characters. I'd only seen the Hepburn and 2010 one.
