I remember watching Mixed Nuts in high school, but don't remember much about it, other than we thought it was funny.

Deep Rising (1998) - 30% on Rottentomatoes.

A rollicking B-movie creature feature ride that is very self aware of its tone.  Treat Williams plays the hero in 'awww shucks' Indy Jones style and Famke Janssen has never been hotter.   Most of the characters heros and villains alike are pretty fun and the creature itself is done well (for it's age).   If you like movies like Tremors, Slither etc this is right up there.

Deep Rising is a very cool movie!  I like the ending, "NOW WHAT???"  :lol

Leviathan. Deep sea monster thriller. I love that movie and always thought it had a cool re-make potential.

I haven't seen it for a good while but I remember this being far more enjoyable than The Abyss which came out at a similar time.

  Too soon??   :laugh: 

Seriously though, when I saw the thread title my first thought was Attack of the Clones.  LOVED the movie!  I have a hard time understanding all the hate.  Also, Reloaded and Revelations.  LOVED them both and don't get the hate.  Honestly it would have taken an act of god to better the perfection that is the Matrix!  With that in mind...the sequels are sweet!

I don't like Attack of the Clones. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

It's 'fun'....it's an underwater monster movie.

I like the Abyss but to me they are two different types of movie.
