Grosse Pointe Blank - I was expecting a cheesy action movie. That is in there, although it's a better than it has any right to be. And at the same time it manages to be a good romantic comedy. The script and the cast nail the human side of the story. (Except for Dan Akroyd, who I have never liked in anything.)

Not even in Ghostbusters?
Not really. He didn't detract from it, but I didn't feel like he added much either.
I think he's a much better writer than actor.

Left me horrified and speechless. Amazing Dutch movie!
Pacific Rim and Blade Runner 2049.
Pacific Rim was the first GDT movie I watched and was blown away that I could like mech/Kaiju so much.
Blade Runner 2049 was one I went in with low expectations because of how much I loved the OG even if Villeneuve had directed a ton of excellent movies prior. Came away with 2049 probably being my fav movie of all time.
Not a movie, but digimon adventure 1. I loved it as a kid watching all the digimon fights. I watched it again later in life and it was even better when I noticed all the character development.
True Stories. After 40 years I still watch it every few years to make sure it's still wierd. Excellent social commentary.
The Raid 2. I thought I know what it would be like but it blew past every expectation. Amazing action film that's arguably better than the first.
The movie 1917. I watched it going in blind. I knew it was praised by many, but then again, so are many other war movies. Now it's my favourite movie. I cannot help but cry at the scene in the basement, even thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Added to my watch list 👍🏻
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts. I was cautiously optimisic about this movie, and I had one hell of a fun time watching it.
Mostly it's the ones I didn't hype for. Didn't watch trailers or knew any plot.
Like when I watched some of the IMDb top 250 just one by one without really looking what the movie is about except its setup (the Good the Bad the Ugly - Western, Twelve Angry Man - court case etc).
After big let down of suicide squad i stopped caring about trailers and now enjoy much more movies.
I don't have any. Just don't be boring.
Thanks for sharing with the class Diabolo96
