The Final Destination Series
Whilst these movies were box office successes, they aren't typically seen as 'good' movies by the Horror community. I'd say the first two movies took themselves more seriously and then the movies started to become more about the most outlandish and goriest kills they could think of. I personally love all of them but 4 is the obvious weakest one with by far the worst characters and not much substance. I personally think the concept of these films is genius and makes for a really entertaining viewer experience. I like that the series is aware of what it is and gives you exactly what you expect. The first one is legitimately great to me, it's more dark & supernatural and the opening premonition is fantastic.
17 Again
Not a movie I expected to enjoy but surprisingly caught on me with. Efron is great, and I enjoy Matthew Perry as well. I didn't really know Zac Efron for much more than being a teen hearthrob so didn't expect much at all. I have more respect for him as an actor these days, especially seeing him take on the Ted Bundy role recently as well. The movie is enjoyable and it's a simple concept done well. I say 'guilty pleasure' because it's not a movie I'd suggest to anyone or watch with anyone else around, but I do enjoy it.
Freddy vs. Jason
I still don't really understand why people hate this film. For those of us who were waiting for Freddy and Jason to clash, it's awesome. I just wish there was more action between the two. I love the way they are introduced and how Freddy uses Jason to incite fear and bring himself back in to the world. It's really well done. The movie has bad acting and it's for sure cheesy, I mean it has Kelly Rowland acting, that says it all. I love it so much though, I've rewatched it numerous times and it's so much fun.
Love Actually
Not a huge fan of romantic films but I can admit this one is actually good. It has easily one of the best casts of these types of films, and it's hard to pretend like I don't enjoy it. I'll continue enjoying this movie in secret, has Andrew Lincoln before he became a big Walking Dead star as well.
Name yours.
