What is your favorite movie of all time ?

I read it in some Nic Cage interview that they knew exactly what they were doing. So that crap was intentional, and when you make a darn shitty movie on purpose, umm.. Nope. Ain't right to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love the man, and I enjoy me some campy movies, but this one had too much potential to waste it like that.

Go watch it. You're in for a treat. Just remember, it's a comedy. :-D

I think H.P. Lovecraft used it more than once

Lovecraft really doesn't get enough credit. I mean, just to think of how much he had brought to the genre (along with other classics, of course, like Poe).
If you don't mind me asking, but have you seen Messiah of Evil (73)? It's a fine example of that moody, but somewhat overlooked horror/mystery flick. It does have a few absolutely mesmerizing scenes. Dead & Buried (81) is quite good too. And they all have that similarity with The Shadow over Innsmouth, all them common tropes over the years, just as you've mentioned.

I'm only teasing. It's OK if you don't like them. :-)

well it s hard to say there is so much genres that u can t just say that one or this one is my favorite movie

It may not have been a masterpiece, but it deserves better than its metacritic score of 25. There's one bit they used in the trailer where Jet Li, who's character has become enormously powerful in the movie, picks up a motorcycle and just slaps somebody with it, just wham. I would put it over a lot of 90s action-effects movies - most Jean Claude Van Damme movies seem forgettable in comparison, while this had a concept that was pretty solid (it was the first thing I thought of on seeing the Council of Ricks episode of Rick and Morty).

I'd put Terminator 2: Judgement Day or The Highlander ahead of it for contemporary setting sci-fi action movies, but considering how many movies have been made in the genre over the last 30 years (wow, Highlander came out in 1986...), I'd definitely keep The One on the upper half of the heap and call it underrated. The same goes for The Hidden, which has everything you want from a 1980s action scifi cop buddy flick (except Joe Piscopo - for that you need to see Dead Heat).

Now reminds me of Dr Quinn but I have no idea how this connotation has born in my head... IOvoI
She played in Time Machine, yay! :) I liked the movie despite bad reviews

I wasn't disagreeing with you, just laughing at the shade you were throwing his way. :-)

I know, i had friends who worshiped this movie, so i got used to disregarding/pretending it doesnt exist.
Nothing against the poster, or Burton for that matter, i'm just used to making fun of it.

The original is quite a trip though

I do the same thing with planet of the apes :P

My favourite is Love, Honour and Obey - but Layer Cake is a really great film that doesn't get enough attention.
