Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" sets the bar for 80s movie effects. It boasts inventive techniques, tons of heart and neurotic attention to detail. Shocked? So we're we. But Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd and the Disney-Warner Brothers crossover made believers of three grown men. Also, Rog did way too much research for this one.

The Fifth Element (1997)

The Fifth Element (1997)

The Fifth Element combined the action starpower of Bruce Willis, the sexuality of Milla Jovovich, the comedic genius of Chris Tucker, the incomparable talent of Gary Oldman and the fashion vision of Jean-Paul Gaultier. And it pretty much sucked. Shocked? So were we. In 1997, we worshipped this movie. In 2017, we were horrified to note the glacial pacing, meandering storyline and awkward fight choreography. Kevin Brackett, of Reel Spoilers and Review St. Louis, guest hosts and confirms our startling realization: The Fifth Element does not hold up.

Major League (1989)

Major League (1989)

Major League takes us back to a time when baseball was hot, actresses were sex objects, and Charlie Sheen was likable. And despite some racist overtones and plot holes, this 1989 comedy still holds up. Bob Uecker is still the best play-by-play on film. James Gammon is still the most believable baseball manager in Hollywood. And a shockingly young Wesley Snipes still dazzles in every scene. Rog loved it. Gene Shat on it, and Dick knows far too much about baseball. Check it out!

Twister (1996)

Twister (1996)

"Twister" gave us all a horrifying glimpse into a world where the United States doesn't have any politically correct superpower enemies. Left with no face for our fears, director Jan De Bont made weather itself the enemy, and not even a star-studded cast including Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Cary Elwes could save the resulting shatstorm. If you were thrilled by this movie years ago or have warm feelings for the late Bill Paxton, let us teach you to hate everything about this movie ... with good cause.

Raising Arizona (1987)

Raising Arizona (1987)

"Raising Arizona" introduced the world of the Coen brothers, Holly Hunter and Tempe, AZ. It also empowered John Goodman to truly display his abilities. But most of all, it showed us how funny Nicholas Cage could be. Infinitely quotable and impressively shot by Barry Connenfeld, "Raising Arizona" is a 1987 time capsule that hasn't aged a bit. It's every bit as funny now as it was when we were kids. Gene wrote this and isn't at all biased by his 25 years as an Arizona resident.

Blade Runner (1982)

Blade Runner (1982)

"Blade Runner" should be a classic sci-fi masterpiece. Should be. Ridley Scott directed it. Philip K. Dick wrote it. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah and Edward James Olmos brought it to life. "Blade Runner" brought dystopian aesthetics to life for American audiences in a way we'd never seen before. And it totally sucked. Before you cancel your Shat The Movies subscription in disgust, hear us out for an hour. If you could stay awake through "Blade Runner," you can sit through this..

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

"The Shawshank Redemption" is one of the finest prison movies ever made, worthy of its 1995 Oscar nomination. But does it hold its own against the other cinematic giants of 1994: "Pulp Fiction," "Forrest Gump," "Quiz Show," and "Four Weddings And A Funeral?" And why did it cost Gene Lyons his first kiss from the girl of his dreams? Reminisce about the beauty and transcendence of Stephen King's tale, then jump right into our debate over whether Andy Dufresne really was guilty, Tommy was telling the truth and Hadley was a bad man.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Some say there's no such thing as a perfect movie. We say, "You need to rewatch 'Pulp Fiction.'" Quentin Tarantino's 1994 quasi-noir masterpiece has earned the first-ever perfect score from Shat The Movies. The mind-blowing cast includes Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi and Peter Greene. The mind-blowing script contains too many quotes to list. Rog loved it. Gene loved it. Big D loved it. Don't watch any other movies, ever.
