I pick a random movie because I'll never satisfy everyone.

Minor stipulation, it would be from my personal collection of movies, which I know I like.

Mrs Doubtfire is a classic that's still funny today

Lord of The Rings

Anything by Aki Olavi KaurismΓ€ki. If someone can't appreciate masterpieces of Finnish cinema, I'll be happy to show them the door.

Nothing But Trouble, so they don't come back

It's an odd choice but Naked Lunch. Strange adaptation of a strange book. It gives everybody something to talk about.

Titan AE, Treasure Planet, Terminator, LA Confidential, El Dorado

Titan AE is an interesting choice for the prompt because the movie flopped specifically because no one vibed with it. Don Bluth's art style is often taken as shorthand for "this is for kids" but the movie really isn't; like one character snaps another one's neck on screen. So no one knew what to do with it and defaulted to "not seeing it."

Right, because they marketed it wrong. The movie is quite good and me and my friends actually watched in theaters when it came out and enjoyed it, but this is also why I added a couple of on there movies in there.

Mulholland Drive. Not only is it the best movie ever made, it also has everything: love, romance, crime, horror, humor, action, mystery, ...
