In other words: What’s a hidden gem I probably haven’t seen but totally should? And why is it a must-watch?

Rampage, it's such a good popcorn flick. It's so over the top that I wouldn't blame you for writing it off without watching it, but give it a chance, it's ultimate action silliness.

Cabin in the woods, its a top 2 horror satire, but you may have heard of that one

Tucker and Dale vs evil, maybe watch this one before cabin in the woods, it's the best horror satire.

Galaxy quest, easily the best star trek movie ever made, one of the top 5 movies ever made.

I'm not sure how many of these are hidden gems, it depends on your viewing habits (not many people would consider horror to contain much good cinema)

Yeah. Tucker and Dale vs Evil still gets way too little love.

It's a must watch because:

  • The twist is perfect.
  • Even after the reveal, it's just so dang fun and hilarious.
  • Horror movies with a deep respect for life are often the best horror movies. Tucker and Dale has that, even if in a stupid goofy way.

Officer, we have had a doozy of a day!

Highly recommend that you go in to watching Tucker and Dale versus evil without looking up any information on the movie. Watching it blind is the best way because the less you know about it the more it will entertain you.

Yes! I just tell friends that it's a horror flick, and a rollicking good time.

So many, so very many, classic lines to be found in that movie.
