Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
In short these are movies that are just fun to watch. There's nothing incredibly great about them as the script is usually basic, the acting is just above ok, the music is very mainstream and there is usually very odd logic if not plotholes in the story. That all being said, they still wind up being check your mind at the door fun and aren't meant to be anything more. I want to know what some of your favorites are.
The Mummy
This movie is underrated in my eyes. We have Brendan Frasier as basically a low rent cross between Han Sole and Indiana Jones mixed with a very good looking Rachel Weisz as they try to find their way to a hidden city in the desert while being chased by an unkillable mummy. This is a very fun movie with Frasier being about as likable as ever. The whole thing comes off as a solid adventure movie and is incredibly fun.
Men In Black
Whereas the Mummy is an action movie with comedy mixed in, MIB is comedy with action mixed in. It's a buddy comedy with Tommy Lee Jones being awesome as the straight man and Will Smith being his hot shot new partner. It was a cultural phenomenon that worked very well with the song and the look and the one liners from the movie. Smith is more or less box office gold and this is still one of his bigger hits.
The Fast and the Furious
Before the three and upcoming fourth sequels, the original of these movies is still very awesome. It has fast cars, corny dialogue and hot women. WHat more could you ask for at all? Between Vin Diesel being the tough guy and Paul Walker being out of place for the most part, the two lead guys are a good combination and look right together. The car scenes are cool to see just because it's fun to watch big machines that go fast. The plot is full of holes but who cares? It's a fun movie.
