“Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
An absolute masterpiece in terms of blending and transitioning between live action and animation; plus the whole Disney/Warner Bros character crossovers… just 👌🏼

The world’s oldest person with downs syndrome would demand to watch this movie every night. On VHS. …Which became more of a challenge with the years.

That theme song is a legit banger. And my god the quotes… “No, no, no, don’t tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.” or “It drives like a truck.” “Good. What is a truck?” or “I’ve been ionized but I’m ok now.” or my favorite “DAMN JOHN WHORFIN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON!”

Okay, I’ve got one that no one has mentioned.
Without clicking the link, just imagine what it might be.
Got it pictured?
Yes. It is exactly what you imagined. But somehow it’s also just all around…good? It’s good. I can’t explain it. But… it’s just… a pretty good movie.
SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 2 months ago
Freaky! For the most part, name a movie, any movie, and I haven’t seen it. But I’m one of the few people who saw Space Truckers in a theater. Stuart Gordon went to school here, so he had screening of the film at the student union, followed by a Q&A session, back in '96.
Yes, it was a hoot! Gordon was a founder of an experimental theater company here which has the improv mentality of treating goofy ideas seriously and just going with them. That sensibility shows through in the movie, for sure.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
It absolutely shows through. Watching Space Truckers is surreal like leaning over to look at a drawing on someone’s refrigerator, only to gradually realize that it’s a Picasso or a Rembrandt, just from their “crayon” phase. Space Truckers absolutely is what it says on the movie cover, just executed with a surprising mastery than even a casual movie fan like me couldn’t miss.
Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Square hogs! Yeah, it’s fair to say I loved this one from the start.

Square hogs! The square hogs are one of my all time favorite movie details. They’re so goofy, but still enhance the world building.

Come on that don’t belong here great movie based on the same writer behind Jussica Park, both books I own. This movie has the legendary Tim Curry not a bad movie.

If you mean the '98 one, hell yeah! That metal helmet scene is so cool, Gary Oldman kills it all the way through, and itty bitty me had a huge crush on Penny Robinson.
xamirozar@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Same here. Crushed hard on her. <3
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
This is a perfect example for this thread.
So much of that film officially cannot work:
The pacing frantic and weird.
It relies on familiarity with the source show while being stand-alone and released too late. (Well, maybe it realizes that “Swiss Family Robinson in space” isn’t rocket science.)
Various wild science fiction elements are slammed together, some very late with little foreshadowing.
But - the cast carries it off (particularly Garry Oldman and Lacey Chabert).
I have the hardest time explaining why anyone should watch it, but it’s solidly enterainting, and all the bits that shouldn’t work still somehow work.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 month ago
One of the first movies available on DVD that we had. In the old paper and clamp case, not the plastic ones that became synonymous.
I think I always say it young enough and the sci-fi captured me so I always loved it.
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Ice Pirates (1984): A bunch of A-Listers before they were big. Great practical effects. Spaceships, Pirates, Time Travel, ‘robots’ It was magnificent.
Close second: The Cat from Outer Space (1978). It was a Disney flick, but really great for the time.
CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I absolutely fucking love how in pretty much the entire 3rd act how you can tell the whole cast is having fun and barely trying to stay serious even in the takes that made the final cut.
But you want to know the kicker? It’s not even my favorite Stewart Raffill movie.
Hugin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.
porcelainpitcher@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I can’t wait to watch Ice Pirates. Thank you.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Cat from outer space! One of my favs. Star studded cast too.
Hugin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah the budget was cut a lot just before shooting started. I think the director and cast said it’s going to bomb so let’s just have fun.
rumba@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Probably for the best, I think the fun made it worth it. It gives me Airplane like vibes which fell under the same constraints.

The whole movie is masterfully stupid, and I would argue ahead of its time. If it came out in the late 2010s/2020s would have been a ton more popular with the GenZs “lol so random” humor

Star Trek IV: The Journey Home is way the hell better than any movie with “IV” in its title has any right to be.
darcranium123@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Superman 3 beats almost ANY action movie out there. It literally has everything you could want in a movie… it doesn’t take itself too seriously so it’s funny as hell, has actual character development unlike anything we’ve seen before or since in an superhero movie, cool but believable fight scenes, morally grey characters, and RICHARD PRYOR.
