Movies I should hate, but don't:

Introduction

I am an above middle aged mom, a fairly conservative Christian who loves movies. There are a few movies I have watched because my kids encouraged me to do so. We were all surprised when I decided I really liked them. It's fun watching these with my adultish kids and cracking up with them. I don't mind the violence & can deal with foul language; I usually hate stupid (Dumb & Dumber, Saving Silverman) but these tickled me. Go figure...

 
 

Dogma

www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/

A Kevin Smith movie with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. A hilarious parody of (primarily) Catholicism, but organized religion in general. It has foul language, a naked Chris Rock falling from the sky and much gore. One of my faves in spite of the aforementioned.

Dude, Where's My Car?

www.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/

Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott as very stupid, very sucky boyfriends. This is so stupid it is funny. There are some great lines that I am ofter heard saying. Much bad language and some really big hooters.

The Big Lebowski

www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/

A Cohen Brothers film. Jeff Bridges as "Dude", a guy managing to get through life doing nothing. He gets involved in a kidnapping and the fun begins.

Fargo

www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/

Another Cohen film about a heinous murder and the aftermath. William H Macy and Steve Buscemi are great in this movie, as is Frances McDormand as a very pregnant sheriff. This is supposedly based on factual events. Bad language and a graphic scene of a body being fed into a wood chipper make this inappropriate for the young and faint hearted; of which I am neither.

Billy Madison

www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/

Adam Sandler is out to take back his reputation as a student. He needs to finish school to inherit his dad's money and business. He is a drunk and a foul mouthed goof who keeps seeing a large penguin.

One of the best movie quotes ever, "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." At our house we say it along with the principal.
