Omg noooo lol why ? That movie freaked me out as a kid
ACK
The Room. This movie is uniquely human, in that it is so bad, we can be 100% assured that no other intelligent being could possibly have created this absolute trainwreck of a film, and yet it has an endearing, heartfelt belief in itself that other "bad movies" nearly always lack. Tommy Wiseau absolutely thought (and probably still does) that he'd created a masterpiece, even keeping the initial theater run going long enough for Oscar consideration, despite many in the audience requesting refunds. The Room represents an inimitable quality of humanity: our need to create, and our pride in our creations.
Also, for the rest of time, any other interaction with this alien species could be put in the context of, "At least they didn't try to show us The Room again."
Hold On, wait, lol are you talking about the "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA!" That movie?
You win lol 😆 😂 🤣
I was recently introduced to it, and I'm absolutely enthralled.
Independence Day, as a warning
Yes. This.
baraka -- no dialogue, just anthropologically valuable depictions shot beautifully on 70mm.
Aaaah I love it, and samsara too
So they'd be bored lol
that one harry potter movie with the nazi vibes. order of the phoenix
🤣
I know you said one movie, but a few come to mind..
- 1984
- Idiocracy
- Soylent Green
- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
- Blazing Saddles
I'll leave it up to the people reading this comment to guess why for each of those...
These are pretty spot on honestly
Idiocracy
Wolves of wall street
Lord of war
On point.
space odyssey 2001, no explanation
Yes, this is a good one
At first I thought of "Grave of the Fireflies" but that's far to tragic... then maybe Coco for the themes of family, love, and loss.
Right now I'm leaning toward "Hunt for the Wilderpeople".
Of course the obvious answer is "The Princess Bride"...
Good choices
Lord of the rings
How about Lords of The Ring?
I dunno much about the other rings, but weren't there multiple lords of the one ring?
Get off my back Gollum!
Nah they though they were the real thing. Plot twist, there was someone above them. That's the into to the movies.
Why ?
There's people with beards, there's people with pointy ears, there's people that enjoy horses, there's people with staffs. The movie has it all
5th Element
Oh man I love that movie
Buckaroo Banzai.
What's that about ?
The 80s.
Easy, History of the World, Part 1.
Tasteful choice
Platoon. Very accurate.
👌
I don't know if you're agreeing, being facetious, signaling your belief in the supremacy of the white race, or trying to get me to look at a circle made of fingers so that you can punch me in the arm.
Be warned, though: if it's the last one, I intend to wipe the punch off before you can, thereby being granted the freedom to counter-attack you twofold.
