Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is an easy one for me cause I just rewatched it. Great actors in it include, but are not limited to, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, and Lupita Nyong'o.

Also, adding after the initial post:

  • Tom Hardy in Venom.
  • Matt Damon in Elysium.
  • Danny DeVito in the live-action Dumbo.

I love just about everything Denzel Washington touches, but somehow can't stand "He Got Game".... 2 Guns either, but the Marky Mark effect made me biased to hate that one from jump.

That's perfect. My wife and I have started watching every movie of Denzel Washington's just like we did with Clint Eastwood. Most of them are pretty good, even the early ones where, like Clint Eastwood, his craft was well beneath his charisma.

But Out of Time was one movie that once it wrapped we both thought was stupid.

Curious, why did you hate The Doors movie? The misleading portrayal of Jim Morrison? My wife and I went to LA last September and saw Robby Krieger at The Whiskey a Go Go. It was one of the best concert experiences I’ve ever had. It helps that I’m a big fan of The Doors.

I remember not liking the Cable Guy when it came out. It has an amazing cast when you look at it now, Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick were the headliners but also Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Bob Odenkirk, etc. Probably should give it another chance.

Shadowlands with (Sir) Anthony Hopkins. 

Saw it in a movie theatre with my girlfriend not that long after the magnificent Silence of the Lambs.  We saw it specifically because Anthony Hopkins was in it.

We both fell asleep within 15 minutes and slept soundly until the lights came up.

To this day, I have no idea what it was about.
