Anaconda (1997)
Horrible... simply horrible
-SPOILERS-
This is the only movie I have ever seen in which a huge snake SCREAMS as it burns. Then it falls into a river, only to emerge later STILL ON FIRE. This one just didn't have it. I didn't find it enjoyable on any level, be it comedy, drama, horror, or action. The computer graphics were not quite advanced enough in 1997 for the "big snake eating people" horror movie(s). They would have been better off waiting a few years for the technology to catch up before making it. That still wouldn't have saved the movie, though.
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
I could watch this movie 374,018 times and still laugh
As a college student, this movie speaks to me on many levels. Just thinking about some parts make me laugh. The dialogue is so simple--there isn't anything to "not get," and the jokes are thick. It might take 2 times through to hear all the jokes and gags, because I bet for every 2 jokes one sees, there's another one they'll miss. Watch this movie, you'll laugh. For me, it never gets old...
Days of Thunder (1990)
Feels like a Sunday afternoon
-SMALL SPOILERS-
I was a NASCAR fan before this movie came out, and I still am. This is an enjoyable movie that (somewhat) accurately portrays the on-track action I watch on Sundays. To be honest, I didn't care that much about who was in it or the plot that it had, I was in it for the racing from the beginning. The actors and writing hold it together and, from a fan's perspective, the racing is great, although the cars are incredibly tough and drive all over the walls and each other, something you can't do in a real race. Still, the racing stays true to life and, with one exception, the cars remain on the ground. They don't seem to be on the moon or some other zero-gravity environment like in DRIVEN. If you're a fan of NASCAR, you'll love this movie.
