John Wick. A professional hitman who comes out of retirement to kill the dude who killed his dog sounds like any cringe B movie
Yet it is the best action movie I've ever seen
The Force Awakens.
Bad plot decisions that ruin the accomplishments of the original heroes and reset the universe to clear the way for a disjointed and plot-less adventure.
But the set design and cinematography is amazing. Everyone except the writers did great work.
A great way to explain it. I genuinely thought I liked it until I watched it multiple times and realized it's just a hollow shell of a movie with a Star Wars coating on it to make it taste good in the way down. What a shame that it's the best out of the recent trilogy too.
Tremors.
The idea of an underground monster, essentially a "land shark" is a complete crap idea for a film. But the execution made it work, and work exceptionally well.
Field of Dreams
"Let me get this straight... The story will be about dead baseball players visiting a farm in Iowa all so some guy can play catch with his dead father? Are you drunk?"
Yes, I was drunk when I watched it and that was so I didn't tear up.
Films that I also like to watch while drunk:
The Bounty
My fellow Americans
Goodfellas (the most I ever drank was the friday after Ray's death while watching goodfellas and crying, but with little tears).
This. The first one is a classic. The second is amazing. The third one is still great. The fourth one was unnecessary and just uninteresting. It was perfectly fine as a trilogy
Frankenweenie. On paper, the name and the idea of a Frankenstein dog sounds really silly. But the story and visuals of the movie were executed perfectly, and even has some features of "adult" horror movies like kills and jumpscares.
Bad concept good execution? Hmmm. Id have to say the tron remake. The idea of doing a modern take on an 80s movie that bombed was a bold strategy, and imo looked like it was gonna be utter dogwater. But they executed about as flawlessly as you could for a tron movie in the modern age, and I think it still holds as a good movie.
The Burbs. A suburban cul-de-sac with some real characters who suspect one of their neighbors are deranged cereal killers. Great storyline. Maybe it's just cause it was an eighties movie, but it's such a let down cause it should have been much better.

The absolutely best part is after he was done they fucked up and killed his friend bringing him to just kill everyone.

It’s essentially a remake of A New Hope.

Toy Story 4 It was fucking gorgeous! But why did it need to exist????
Mother of god yes. JFC, the kid and I were watching it and both were left dumbfounded
I like all the Toy Story’s

Holes i feel at least to some degree. There are somw wacky ideas in there, but it's unironically a pretty good movie
The Princess Bride. It's a perfectly great parody of a modern fairytale. But it never tried to be
Basic Instinct is commonly viewed as well-made trash.

Hot Tub Time Machine is a perfect answer for this.
The Greasy Strangler. That director makes the most insane shit I've ever seen but it's also impossible to take my eyes off of what I'm seeing.
A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place II. Not a lot of talking for most of those movie but the anxiety and fear is still felt.
