Dark Star (1974)
Good Laughs
I didn't realize what I was watching 3 A.M. one day until someone told me.
This looked like a cheesy rip off of something, but at 3 A.M., all I could do was enjoy.
The low production really shows, but I didn't care. This movie is funny, and as a comedy, that's hard to do these days. The acting, well... ok, but I had the sense that these guys were trying to do it as best they can.
All I can say about this is, this is the type of movie you can watch at 3 A.M. and still enjoy.
The Matrix (1999)
Everything rolled into one.
Once in a while, a film rolls into theatre with everything you (might) want. Style, Story, Special Effects, Sincerity, and moments you'll always remember. Obviously, The Matrix to most (including me), is one such film.
Now let's forget about the flops that were Reloaded and Revolutions. It was about 5 years since the first release.
To myself, The Matrix was a movie that added new things which I wanted to see in a movie. Quite impressive for two brothers who were virtually unknown at that time.
Usually, any movie may contain one or two good things. The Matrix contained everything. Groundbreaking CGI and special effects basically brought its style into the new movie standards. The story and meanings have been parodied, read, and even used as course material.
The Matrix is one movie in which people can watch again and again, and this is something I still watch today.
Hopefully, 10 years down the road, someone will remake Reloaded and Revolutions to the standard that The Matrix set for its time. Until then, there is no Reloaded or Revolutions (in my mind).
