It’s pretty hard to dislike any movie with a Morgan Freeman voiceover. He’s like the grandfather you never had. I once got in an argument with someone about who would be better as the voice of God — Morgan Freeman or Donald Sutherland. Unfortunately, I pretty much lost the argument when the other person cited Bruce Almighty.

Truthfully, I’m not a big fan of musicals, but I would gladly sit down and watch The Apple, just to try and understand WTF is going on. According to Wikipedia, it was a critically panned disco-musical, a not-so-subtle parable of the biblical fall.

If you’ve got any other nostalgic WTFs, leave them in the comments.

ABC just aired their remake of V, the original of which clearly inspired Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day, so it seemed appropriate to post today. When it was released, Independence Day became the second highest grossing film of all time, and even for a blockbuster that relies so heavily on special effects, it’s held up remarkably well.

Memorable Will Smith quotes include:

“No, you did NOT shoot that green shit at me!”
“Welcome to Earth, bitch.” (though he pronounces Earth like Urf)
“Parents just don’t understand.”

Okay, maybe not the last one.

Goldie Hawn as an aristocratic socialite and Kurt Russell as what I believe Kurt Russell is like in real life — what’s not to love about this classic ’80s flick? Is it just me or is amnesia the most hilariously silly plot device of all time?
