Cool things in pretty rubbish films

Marvin was a cool looking robot. He didn't look anything like Marvin, but he looked pretty cool
I think the BBC version got Marvin spot on
The bit in Spiderman 2 where the car flies towards the cafe window in slow motion
the bit in Closer where someone smacks all the hideously smug characters' faces in with a shovel
That bloke's crazy voice effects in the Police academy films 
The bit where Bruce Willis says "Six billion people on earth, why did you call me?" was classic so bad-its-good...

There's one bit in HHGTTG where they're queuing in the space council line thing and a few places ahead in the line is the original BBC Marvin
The bit in the Ninja Turtles film with the Vanilla Ice concert.

actually - emma thompson's grief on discovering what alan rickman's been up to in that film. Fucking amzing stuff.
can I just say that (and I do realise this will probably destroy me forever as far as forum credibility goes) I quite enjoyed Love Actually, for what it was.

I quite liked Love Actually, too.
This part, and their whole story, was outstanding:
The way she discovers the infidelity, then goes off for a quiet cry before putting on a happy face for the kids ... heartbreaking.

That scene in terminator 3 when Arnie's getting sprayed with bullets when carrying that big coffin full of teh gunz someone's been stashing away for ages for when the revolution comes and the G-men need pumping full of hot lead or whatever.
Also when the hot terminator does the "lol boobs!" trick, in the same film.
God, what a crap film!

Wow. I have never actually forgotten a complete film before, but I don't remember either of those moments, and I'm not doubting you that they were in there. All I remember from watching it is ' God, what a crap film!' The rest has been blocked out of my memory, as traumatic experiences often are.
Of course, it wasn't that terrible a film, really; it's just that if the first two films were worth a trillion quid each in today's money, then the third would be worth a trillion quid in what the pound will probably be worth by the time the machines have destroyed the world and all humanity is under Robert Patrick's subjugation. That's about as much as a pork pot noodle is worth in a synagogue now.
I *heart* that film
Yeah, it's probably much more of a hanging offence for a bloke to admit to liking it, though.

I can't really say anything as I've just admitted to quite liking Love Actually.
It seems that we have similar taste in films. Considering that, have you seen the latest Star Trek yet? Any good? I'll go and see it anyway, but am deciding between imax and normal cinema. This is a vital decision.
(If Firky were still on here, I'd ask him, because he's one of the few people I know of - apart from my GF and my best friend - who didn't like Wall-E).

Ah! Another one whose film opinions I value (did you like Wall-E, though?)
Star Trek - cinema or imax?
Yes - see my comments on the thread. I didn't even like Star Trek before, but in my humble, it's one of the best films of its type (space opera/science fantasy - but that will disappoint trek purists) I've seen and possibly even better than the original star wars films.
