House 2, the second story was an awful movie.
But there's a 15-minute segment in the middle that is pure genius. From the moment that the repairman shows up to the moment when he hands the lead his business card & leaves. I've frequently thought of buying the otherwise awful movie just for those 15 minutes.

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He's the only part of the film that deserves to be accepted as canon.
The ending of the original Friday the 13th. This doesn't get brought up much, but it's a boring, strictly-boilerplate dead-teenager movie with a killer turn from Betsey Palmer to liven up the final minutes.
The opening credits of Die Screaming, Marianne. This might be stretching the definition of 'brilliance' a bit, but I'm not going to argue with Susan George in her prime.
Tom Waits in that dreadful Dracula '92 movie is perhaps the greatest example of this. We're talking about a movie that had Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins in it and Francis Ford Coppola of all people in the director's chair, people, and it still sucked on a galactic scale. Waits being Waits as Renfield is just about the only thing making the movie even remotely watchable.

One of the most enchanting and entertaining movies ever made, full stop.Billy D Williams said:

Umm...Ok...This one is going to maybe cause a bit of controversy, but...Equilibrium wasn't very good. In fact, the symbolism started to hurt my eyes and ears.
But then this...
Ok, you get one point.

We all know that the Bay Transformers is very pro-America in how it almost fetishizes military hardware, BUT what I don't see get brought up ever is that the basic setup Transformers 2 unexpectedly reads as pro-Iraq War propaganda (foreign force chases criminals to less technologically developed group, and continue to stay because of some supposed threat that there is no major evidence of while getting criticized for doing so).
But maybe that's just me looking too much into things.

Though it is kinda funny: If some more people quote scenes from Equilibium, we have the full movie here. It can't be that bad then, no?Random Argument Man said:
Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky (1991)
This is easily one of my favourite movies of all time and I think it's a masterpiece, but despite how much I love it, people will not stop telling me that it is objectionably terrible and that I have poor taste, I think I'll let you decide.
(Warning: Contains hilariously horrible dubbing and ultraviolence)

Don't listen to them dude, I too am a lover of that movie, it's just so fantastically over the top with its violence that it's glorious. And Oscar is a freaking badass.Joffas16 said:
Aside from the silly sound "Whoosh" noise you hear when they move an object, the fight scenes are kinda good. Although, the sound effects do distract me. Aside from that, the movie could've just put a big neon sign saying "LOOK! EMOTIONS ARE IMPORTANT". I founded it preachy..others didn't.b.w.irenicus said:Though it is kinda funny: If some more people quote scenes from Equilibium, we have the full movie here.
