This sounds like that awful "Only God Forgives" movie. You hated everyone in it. It was gorgeously shot. And it was the most pretentious art school shit I've seen in a long time.

It's a really great story, but some of the characterization isn't that well played out. Django himself starts off OK, sours a bit, then goes full badass at the end of the movie. He's actually in the Tarantino Django, my guess would as a tribute. This film was made in Italy as a tribute to the Spaghetti Western. Fitting that Tarantino decided to use the name as a tribute to the tribute. It's definitely a good film, especially by that days standard.

breakfast club - 4/10 i always sleep through this movie, this time was no different. if you are going to have everything take place in one place, you better have some shit actually taking place. if i want to watch teens come of age, ill go to pr0nhub
beetlejuice- 8/10 always a good watch now and then. always loved the aesthetic
16 candles - 6/10 chick flick but enjoyable, had sisters growing up that watched it a lot so its a classic. and at least back then chick flicks had funny shit and cussing in them
top gun - 7/10 fun as always, though after learning even the slightest bit about air combat, its hard to watch the fight scenes anymore. mostly watch for the flight deck opening scene. oh he's locked on you? why dont you fucking turn. oh you flew through his jet wash and it stalled both of your engines and sent you into a flat spin? man, flying twin engine jets in the blue angels must be rurrrrrrl tough for those guys
who framed roger rabbit - 8/10 solid fun, as always. really outstanding, considering it was '88
say anything - 3/10 this is supposed to be am 80s classic, but the only reason i didnt sleep though it was because i slept through the breakfast club. nothing really happens. synopsis "dude dates a girl, they kinda breakup for a second...oh and her dad commits tax fraud and his friend works at a guitar shop, so there'es glimpses of guitar pr0n for like 2 secs" john cusac is john cusac. just blah.

You just rated Top Gun, which is gay pr0n, and 16 Candles, which sucks balls, higher than Breakfast Club, which is admittedly no more than 6/10 at best.

WTF man/. WTF???

Edit for additional blasphemy: I have never seen Top Gun. I am selective about what Tom Cruise movies I watch and for some reason; I never had the urge to indulge with this particular film.

If you watch them with an adult's mindset, you're gonna wanna beat the hope out of them rather than watch the hope rise and fall naturally as it does for kids that age.

Top Gun? I got nothing. It was praised so heavily or absolutely no reason at the time. I've seen it maybe three times over the years due to wimminz loving it. I think the fighter pilot thing convinces certain people it must be epic. Iron Eagle was five times the movie Top Gun was, but didn't get much recognition due to not having a lame-ass chick-flick style love interest plot. The only positive about Top Gun was Charlie Sheen's copping of Tom Cruise's motorcycle riding in the parodies. Absolutely hilarious if you had to sit through Top Gun more than once.
