Have you ever watched a movie without knowing much about it or expecting it to be good, and it completely surprised you?
I’m looking for movies like that. What was yours?

Not necessarily the actor — the character/performance that you think deserved to be recognized but somehow got overlooked.

For me, Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor for the role, but Matthew McConaughey won that year for Dallas Buyers Club.

That performance was absolutely wild. 😂

Who would you pick?

For me; it’s Norbit. I love Eddie Murphy but I admit even at the time the humor felt pretty low brow. Plus a lot of the fat, Asian, and various other stereotypes really didn’t age all that well. Sales wise, it did good, but critically…? Another one was Jordan Peele’s “HIM”. Interesting premise, with Marlon Wayans in a serious role. However a lot of people may feel like they were mislead thinking this was a run of the mill football movie. Plus, if you’re not familiar with free mason culture, a lot of the references go over your head, and can make for a very offputting film, overall. Curious to see what other movies others may feel similar to

Any movie series where I like all the movies in it, or really similar styles or directions will only have its best entry in its spot on my list, in order for a diverse list. Let me know what you guys think of this, just my personal opinions.

1. Avengers Infinity War
2. Bullet Train
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Mission Impossible
5. Les Miserables
6. Knives out
7. Inglorious Bastards
8. Sixth Sense
9. Gladiator
10. Primal Fear

Marvel gets too much love but I always been a DC boy although I like both.

Like, you’re completely alone, scrolling through Netflix, and suddenly you’re watching Toy Story, Shrek, The Lion King or some other childhood favorite.

I’m convinced animated movies aren’t just for kids. 😂

What animated movie do you secretly still love watching?

There are some movies that are great when you watch them again, but I think there's something special about seeing a really good movie for the first time without knowing anything about it.

For me, the hardest part is avoiding spoilers. Sometimes I'll see a recommendation online, look up a trailer, and suddenly I already know half of the important plot points before I even watch the movie. It makes me wonder how many movies would have had a much bigger impact if I had gone in completely blind.

I'm curious what movie gave you that feeling the first time you watched it. Not necessarily your favorite movie, but one where you remember thinking, "I wish I could experience that again without knowing what's coming."

And if you could erase your memory of one movie and watch it again tonight, what would you pick?

Forget the “best movie ever” — I want to know the movie you personally never get tired of watching.

What’s one movie you could watch again and again, even if you’ve already seen it 10+ times?

Drop:

- 🎬 Movie

- 📅 Year

- 💭 Why you keep coming back to it

No spoilers please.

Bonus points if it’s a movie most people here probably haven’t heard of.
