Fun Popcorn Movies

** Designated by “Popcorn” on my actor pages **


Fun movies that felt special enough to be worth mentioning, but they’re on this specific list because they don't reach the same highs that I require from my top tier picks. I re-watch these from time to time just to make sure that they really belong here and not on my cult films or top tier lists. Enjoy!

The following labels will help prepare you for the kind of movie you’re about to watch:

1“- Artsy” films tend to have lofty ambitions. They are oftentimes slow-paced and/or a little pretentious.
2. “- B-Movies” are generally just for fun. They're usually of low artistic quality and can feel dated or have several problems.
3. “- Comedy” means the movie was primarily designed to be a hit-or-miss joke-fest.
4. "- Creative" films are highly imaginative in one or more ways. They can be highly stylized or feature bizarre production design. They may introduce famous characters or contain highly original ideas. In other words, they are very unique experiences.
5. "- Hollywoody" movies feel noticeably predictable/formulaic, but nevertheless they can still be very entertaining and well-made. Usually they're feel-good or oscar bait movies, but not always.
