I am a huge fan of the movie Billy Jack but it really aged poorly. Hell, it might not have been all that great in the first place but this scene defines the entire series.

I saw this when it first came out in the theaters...I was a junior in HS. It blew me away. Still one of my all-time favorites.

Same here.

In fact, in the thread you created where we listed our favorite films from every year since the year we were born, All That Jazz was my pick for 1979.

Any Given Sunday can be picked apart for sure.

The fact is that is a movie painting a good picture of some American culture, and doing right about it (acording to me obv)

And True Romance is the shii….

At the time it came out, Tom Cruise was way on a downward trend. So his appearance in this cameo was extra surprising and he just killed it.

I'm not much of a comedy guy but Tropic Thunder just nails it so hard for me. I love it.

Tropic Thunder was a fun comedy with a lot of great bits, but that Tom Cruise scene was on a completely different level from the rest of the movie. Entirely appropriate for this thread.

"Tropic Thunder" and "The other Guys" are are a few of the great comedies of the last 10 years.

But I did hate the "jump of the rooftop scene", which made no sense.

IMO

Watch it again. It’s stupid af. A whole town too stupid to stay out of the water and a mayor who wants to cover up shark attack danger. The rest is a giant mechanical rubber fish. I get it, ground breaking yadda yadda. **** doesn’t hold up.
