Elvis Presley is impolite to everyone.  A pineapple company is key to the plot.
I don't think I've managed to sit through Blue Hawaii.

Dude! <3  No, I didn't either.  I managed 15 minutes before I abandoned my mother to its clutches, but she did call me back for key parts of the story  ::)

... Yeah, it was just bad.

Bleh.

There's a reason no one gives a sh* about Elvis nowdays. He was an overblown fad like boy bands (although he had more merit than they do), and if he hadn't died young then people would have had time to send him the way of the boy bands (into the obscurity of our gladly-abandoned past).

I mean, seriously, for someone that some promotional ad named "The King of Rock", how often do you hear his songs on the radio? You can pick a band out of a hat that had more lasting impact than he did. His movies are pretty poor too.

What makes you consider radio play an appropriate gauge of lasting impact?

But he was first of the kind! The key that opened the Pandora's box of rock music! Where would we be without him today?

God, I can't stand him.

Kid and dragon go on adventures together. Dragon roasts apples for kid.

(I honestly don't remember what movie this is. Haven't seen it since childhood!)

Delicatessen was funny, in a dark, gruesome way.

Okay, I've got one. Scheming prince's plot to start a war stopped by a Turkish giant, Spanish fencer, and a paralyzed pirate.

Defending Democracy from middle-eastern extremists; while half-naked.

Romantic Comedy featuring torture, large, fat protagonist, and a symbol of the Democracy. Huh, democracy again...

Sci-fi that's soft as taffy. Entire point of this movie is to get rid of a bunch of baggage.
