This is a bit of a companion piece to another article I wrote about movies I don’t love, despite containing some great scenes. In this case, I have movies that I do love, despite the fact that I can acknowledge them to have flaws.

These are films that are generally considered to be at least pretty good; they all rank in the global Top 2000 on Flickchart, and three rank in the global Top 200. They all rank in my personal Top 200, and two of them are in my Top 20. One is a Best Picture Oscar winner. Three of the other four were nominated for at least one Oscar, and the fifth made many critics’ Top 10 lists the year it came out. I love them all, but I can admit each of them has certain “issues”.

Wide Releases:

Am I in the minority, in that I actually kinda want to see this movie? I’m not saying I’d ever pay to watch it in a theater but I have some time reserved for five months from now for sure.

This movie has by far the most ridiculous MPAA rating explanation I’ve seen. It is rated PG for “brief rude behavior and incidental smoking.” What does that even mean?

I like Common an awful lot but I’ve got to question his judgment a bit after starring in this one. Hopefully it’s better than it looks. Also, LeBron, Chicago is a beautiful city…
