I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
Tron: Legacy
Also Ready Player One. I like the movie where the person go into the computer :)
I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A lot of people were confused about Dorian Gray, but adding him was pretty inspired.
Bladerunner 2049.
I know a lot of people disliked it compared to the first one, even Ridley Scott himself. But I love the direction Denis Villeneuve took this film in.
Super Mario Bros (1993)
It was objectively a trainwreck but it was awesome when you were 8 and It brought video games to the big screen for the first time. I will always love it.
My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.
But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
Freddie Got Fingered. SOOOO ahead of its time. I love Tom Green.
Daddy would you like some sausage?
MY HOOVES
Off topic but it needs to be said :
Star wars 7, 8 and 9 aren’t terrible. Or if they are, they are in the same way 4, 5 and 6 were. (we don’t talk about 1, 2 and 3)
Nostalgia is not a synonym for quality.
I’ll dissolve into the force on that hill.
You may resume your ongoing activities.
