Shawshank Redemption. One of my favorites of all time, and this is a spoiler alert, but how in the hell did Andy bust a hole through an iron sewage pipe with a stone big enough to fit his very tall body through? I just don't see that happening.

I think it’s implied that he kept banging away to widen the hole.

I figured he did that as the thunder kept on rolling in

I absolutely love Rear Window.

But it’s ending with the flash is goofy as hell. Almost cartoonishly cheesy. It’s like light is his kryptonite.

  • The Goonies - it has some back and forth audio clarity issues and even a few frame rate skips. It’s like it was edited in a rush, but Sean Astin lovingly refers to it as “a big home video”
  • Blade Runner - I always felt it was wrong to have Deckard to pretty much force himself on Rachel. Especially with the whole ambiguity around his character
  • Real Genius - still a wonderful 80’s comedy that has aged mostly well save for the random “brain chaser” lady. She had 3 very brief scenes for what felt like was supposed to be a bigger (and still weird) subplot
  • Batman Begins - just a little too much frenetic editing during some of the action scenes (Batman vs ninjas in Gotham, batmobile chase)
  • any use of the Wilhelm Scream in the LOTR movies

I fucking love these movies with all my heart, but I know better than to pretend flaws don’t exist

I feel like action movies do stupid things that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Kingsmen has the weird "we can do it in the asshole " comment at the very end.

Or more recently Bullet train with the last words Pitt says being about needing to take a shit.

Holidays also make me think of It's a wonderful life. He is planning suicide after going on an abusive rampage, then everyone in town in Christmas Eve comes and gives him money? Unless you buy into the theory he actually did jump and this is a hallucination or he is dead and that's his heaven then it doesn't make sense and isn't a satisfy ending. The town went nuts earlier because they couldn't empty their accounts now they are donating all their money to this guy who just lost all of his... Just lost it bye bye "okay let's give him all our money but just to him."
