    There could easily be a whole separate thread of movies/shows that were viral hits on a streaming service for like a month that then disappeared from public consciousness within about a month

    The same goes for all of J.C. Chandor's movies. Certain people actually compared A Most Violent Year to The Godfather.

    Ben affleck featured prominently on a movie poster he directed with the poster also saying “from the director of Argo and the town”

    Ideally the instant access of Netflix movies would accelerate bad word-of-mouth but because people don't assign the same value to a Netflix movie since it is already paid for and they don't have to get dressed, any schlock with a well known star is going to succeed.

    I’ve seen Irishman and Birdbox, awhile ago I saw the poster of Red Notice on Twitter and I thought it was a fake movie

    I mean, it’s not that far from being a fake movie.

    This movie probably doesn’t belong here but this seems to be the best thread to talk about movies we just randomly remembered existed.

    i clicked on one of those clickbait articles about childhood movies and it reminded me that Camp Nowhere exists. Completely forgot about it, remember loving it as a kid haha

    JC Chandor hasn’t missed for me yet, though Triple Frontier was his least outstanding. Still had a lot to like

    Triple frontier was definitely a let down
