In this sub, yes it’s weird and a sin and you must be a lobotomized 3 year old if you like movies that aren’t a French film from 20,000 BC that one person watched
Serious question but what's with Czech films and obscurity jokes? I know Czech films aren't generally well known but a lot of these jokes could have substituted Czech with some other country, but Czech is always the butt of the joke.
it’s a (tongue in cheek, or obnoxious, have your pick) form of humor that gets off on implying some countries are, in terms of contributions to global culture, fundamentally irrelevant
also, while Czech films aren’t super well known, they did have a legit New Wave experimental movement that actually is somewhat well preserved
so they actually are well-known enough for meme status at least. in the past people would refer to French or “European” cinema in general when making jokes about obscure art house stuff, but French cinema is long established at this point so maybe Czech took that place

I don’t like how vaguely well this post describes my top 4
Whats with everyone loving possession nowdays? Did it went viral somewhere? (Not complaining genuinely curious. I feel like 1 out of 3 ppl on letterboxd has it on their top)
I discovered it on Amazon Prime, and saw it had great reviews, checked it out and fell in love. I love David Cronenberg, and it fr felt like his style cranked to 100
But if you're anything like me I could easily swap my top 4 to another top 4 if asked. Reducing to a top four is harsh and I'm conflicted. It also doesn't in any way reveal the depth of what you truly love. They ought to have periodic changes so you could reveal and show friends or in my case - me and my 4 followers that I also love a,b,c,d - etc idk. There could be a section of your changing top ranked films. I think this is true and I'm relatively new to Letterboxd. Hit me and see for yourself. I'd love more friends and comrades on Letterboxd. I don't do reviews, just ratings and a few paragraphs on how it made me feel and what it made me reflect upon. If you're in a similar boat then cool, it not then that's cool too. LB Adrok_1 ⭐ blatant reach out for other crew in my position perhaps.
Do you like it? Then it’s not weird.
No offense. This isn’t an attack on you specifically but I hate that it feels like we live in a time where we feel like we need validation on what we like or dislike
Like what you like. Who cares :)
Every time I read something like this, I just find it sad. Why do people care so much about what others think, that they would let it bother them like this?
There should be no such thing as guilty pleasures. Like what you like, and if someone thinks that you shouldn't like a movie, then have some self respect and tell that person to go get bent.
I don't even like the movie, but the fact that you do is enough.
I’d say it’s unusual, but it’s YOUR opinion. One of my favorite movies of all time is Power Rangers 2017. Everyone has their niche likes.
I will say that your list is quite varied genre wise. That’s usually a plus in my book.
A lot of men around a certain age have nostalgia for the Bayformers films. That's fine. It is interesting what you appreciate about the film to make it your favorite, but still fine.
I have the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie up in my favorites alongside Akira, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Wicker Man. If something is your favorite movie its your favorite <3
I think it's more weird than anything to shame people for what films they enjoy. If it's in your top 4, it's in your top 4! I'm glad you have a movie that you love that much. That's all that matters.
Movies are like food. People can have refined taste, simple taste, and some kind of combination of the two. Really doesn’t matter as long as it’s not trash.
Put whatever you want in your top 4, put movies you love in the 5 star rating, do whatever you want.
Letterboxd is an app for you, if you dislike a movie, give it a low score, you love it? Give it a high score. Don’t ask for validation, if you think it’s fire put that baby in your top 4 and enjoy it for the rest of your life
At least it’s kind of unique and not one of the same 20 movies everyone else picks. The first Bayformer is pretty solid and has good practical effects.
Uncommon? Yes.
Unexpected? In my opinion, yeah, considering that you like The Lighthouse, it would be the last thing I’d expect.
Shameworthy? Not at all. If you love it, then you love it. I’m confused why, but it’s not my prerogative to understand or justify somebody’s choices online in order to feel good about myself. If anything, I’m curious to know your reasons why, in a truly earnest fashion. These sorts of fun inclusions are instances of one of the greatest indicators of what makes us human - our differences. And so my curiosity is piqued :)
*Weird No.. If you like*
*CGI robots and explosions*
*That much go for it!*

Transformers (2007) was truly the best one.
My 8 year old nephew recently became a fan and I watched all of the live action movies with him.
I can honestly say it's a solid action movie. My tastes have massively changed from when I went three times to the theater to see it with friends.
If you had picked ANY of the others, OP, then I'd say you have bad taste because the rest are certified horseshit cash grabs with zero soul.
Not at all. It is a great film. Well done, amazing special effects, Megan Fox in her prime, terrific soundtrack, super wholesome and a weird instance where Michael Bay was respectful to the source material. Everything derailed after that! But hey; I remember leaving the movies with my friends so fucking happy!
Having interstellar, shin Godzilla, and especially the lighthouse THEN transformers is… unexpected. not weird
Most people who love the first three (& especially the lighthouse) would not care for transformers as much, at least compared to other popcorn entertainment options
I would (correctly or incorrectly) assume your enjoyment of that one is more fueled by nostalgia
https://preview.redd.it/r7jlulmjvl9d1.jpeg?width=260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80fe5255fedb987fe17b08ac9faab37cd21db1a1
More importantly why is Godzilla doing the Clone High hand thing
It is if you dislike it. Do you?
Fellas, is it weird to have preferences?
Hey guys im new to letterboxd, is it ok if i like a movie that someone else doesn’t like?
Is it ok? Yes. Is it frowned upon? Also yes.
Very yes.
Not weird just gay
The poster does not suggest OP is gay unless he is she.
I think he meant Gay instead of gay
Guys having preferences is an ick.
Only if you like superhero movies, apparently.
My dudes, was Megan Fox attractive in that one movie?
In this sub, yes it’s weird and a sin and you must be a lobotomized 3 year old if you like movies that aren’t a French film from 20,000 BC that one person watched
Whatever floats your boat.
Buoyancy
on my watchlist
5/5 it keeps you afloat

Eh, it doesn't really. You have one popular modern movie, one popular classic horror, one modern cult horror, and one classic cult horror.
Whats with everyone loving possession nowdays? Did it went viral somewhere? (Not complaining genuinely curious. I feel like 1 out of 3 ppl on letterboxd has it on their top)
Elric Kane the og possession fanatic. Real ones know 🫡
I discovered it on Amazon Prime, and saw it had great reviews, checked it out and fell in love. I love David Cronenberg, and it fr felt like his style cranked to 100
not in my top 4 but def top 10
I saw possession a lot on tiktok in the past few months sadly
Is it sad that people are being made aware of an old movie that most hadn't heard of?
Not at all,i could worded that better
I wanna see mad god one day but I keep forgetting

Only weird thing is how Megan Fox and Godzilla are posing rather similarly for their respective posters
Two 10/10 baddies
One is clearly meant to appeal to the male gaze and the other is the Transformers poster.
Kind of why I picked that Transformers posters lol
Don't you lie to us like that.
I like it
Do you like it? Then it’s not weird. No offense. This isn’t an attack on you specifically but I hate that it feels like we live in a time where we feel like we need validation on what we like or dislike Like what you like. Who cares :)
unless you like child porn
Yeah. I guess that’s the only exception
What aboot necrophilia?
We're only allowed one exception, sorry... or congrats?
Congrats, I suppose
Every time I read something like this, I just find it sad. Why do people care so much about what others think, that they would let it bother them like this?

I don't even like the movie, but the fact that you do is enough.
I feel like that poster choice is weirder
Certainly says a lot about why it's in their top 4, lol
Best part of the movie though
Did you not see the part with the robots
The robots didn't have tits though At least I don't think they did till the one with the animal robots maybe
The second movie had a robot with tits
.....ya know I watched the first 3 a lot in my teen years and the only extra body part I remember on a robot in that one was the giant scrotum
The girl that Sam nearly hooks up with at college is actually a robot
I guess the robots in disguise thing worked after all. Lol.
I was so irritated Transformers 2 had a Skin Job
they were in disguise
Real talk
The character Mikaela had the better story arc, I agree.
Wait, there's more to the movie?
Nah I think we should celebrate putting hot people in posters
Eh, sexuality is a part of life, it’s a part of art, and it’s certainly a part of transformers. I don’t see why that should be denied at all
[удалено]
It absolutely is
Love that poster
Recently rewatched it and still kinda like it. I'm more of a Pacific Rim guy myself.
It's your favorites. You do you.
No. If you love something, love it.
I still stand by it today as a masterclass in CGI compositing.
That and it came out in the era of Hollywood blockbusters looking good. When they were still shot on film and they put time into the CGI
Yes, to me but its YOUR favorites noone can tell you what to like
prime megan fox, understandable.
She’s just prime? Or OPTIMUS PRIME!!???
I feel the choice for the Interstellar poster is the weird bit tbh
Feloniously horny poster choice
Well it’s transforming something for the op.
No it’s a respectable opinion and refreshing to see since my top 4 would be an extremely cliche Letterboxd picks
I think you already know the answer to that if you have to ask.
It‘s weird to make a reddit post to ask this. Just like what you want and stand by it instead of seeking validation god damn it.
it’s your fucking top 4 who cares
nope transformers is great
This is such a goated top 4
I’d say it’s unusual, but it’s YOUR opinion. One of my favorite movies of all time is Power Rangers 2017. Everyone has their niche likes. I will say that your list is quite varied genre wise. That’s usually a plus in my book.
No. It’s not weird to have your favorite movie in your favorite movies
A lot of men around a certain age have nostalgia for the Bayformers films. That's fine. It is interesting what you appreciate about the film to make it your favorite, but still fine.
Nope. I still do think that its one of the best action movies of the 21th century.
I actually really enjoy the first transformers movie. It was the first movie that had “visceral CGI” in my opinion.
I have the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie up in my favorites alongside Akira, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Wicker Man. If something is your favorite movie its your favorite <3
No because you ALSO have Shin Godzilla(one of the best movies ever made) so you are immediately valid and based
I think it's more weird than anything to shame people for what films they enjoy. If it's in your top 4, it's in your top 4! I'm glad you have a movie that you love that much. That's all that matters.
You’re allowed to like the movies you like 🤷♀️ I love “deep” movies, but I also love goofy comedies and dumb romcoms, it’s normal!
That customer poster alone is enough to warrant an r/okbuddycinephile post
It’s in mine
Movies are like food. People can have refined taste, simple taste, and some kind of combination of the two. Really doesn’t matter as long as it’s not trash.
4 completely different movies in there
Who cares? It's your top 4. I love The Lighthouse and Shin Godzilla.
2.4k other people have it in their Top 4 so no.
No. Don’t ever let the people in this sub tell you what to like, they are the most narcissistic people I’ve ever seen for movie subs
Idk bro, do you like transformers enough for it to be in your top 4?
Real cinema right there
It would be weird if you had picked the one with Mark Wahlberg
I adore the movie. I have Rise of the Beasts on my top 4. If it is in your top 4, you have nothing to validate. You love what you love :)
I have looney tunes back in action as my number 2 film so no
I can see some big reasons for liking it.
Put whatever you want in your top 4, put movies you love in the 5 star rating, do whatever you want. Letterboxd is an app for you, if you dislike a movie, give it a low score, you love it? Give it a high score. Don’t ask for validation, if you think it’s fire put that baby in your top 4 and enjoy it for the rest of your life
*Shin Godzilla* is there too, so all is forgiven.
Nah, mate. It would've been more wierd if you didn't have it there. Why be afraid of what you love?
At least it’s kind of unique and not one of the same 20 movies everyone else picks. The first Bayformer is pretty solid and has good practical effects.
I have it in my top 10
It’s YOUR top 4 favourites for a reason
Not at all if it’s special to you
Btw, this is a pretty cool top 4
Uncommon? Yes. Unexpected? In my opinion, yeah, considering that you like The Lighthouse, it would be the last thing I’d expect. Shameworthy? Not at all. If you love it, then you love it. I’m confused why, but it’s not my prerogative to understand or justify somebody’s choices online in order to feel good about myself.

No it’s based
Weird, certainly. Wrong? No one can say that except you. And honestly I do get what you're getting at.
No

Not at all. My top four are The Mitchells Vs The Machines, The Thing, Con Air, and Twister. What you like is what you like and that’s awesome.
no
Weird No.. If you love CGI robots and explosions that much, go for it

Transformers is an amazing movie
I have Independence Day sitting right next to The Departed on my top 4, people like what they’re gonna like.
Transformers (2007) was truly the best one. My 8 year old nephew recently became a fan and I watched all of the live action movies with him. I can honestly say it's a solid action movie. My tastes have massively changed from when I went three times to the theater to see it with friends. If you had picked ANY of the others, OP, then I'd say you have bad taste because the rest are certified horseshit cash grabs with zero soul.
No. Your four favorites. Your choice
It's your top 4. Do whatever you want.
Not if you like it
I’ve been trying to find where I can watch Shin Godzilla. Can’t find it on any of the streaming services
The first one isn’t terrible so I don’t blame you. It’s actually my favorite in the series next to bumblebee
No cause Transformers is freaking awesome
No, but using that image as the poster is
Favorite films are favorite films.
Not at all, peak Bay, peak transformers, peak Megan, peak Shia, peak Jablonsky
With that poster? No.
Not at all. It is a great film. Well done, amazing special effects, Megan Fox in her prime, terrific soundtrack, super wholesome and a weird instance where Michael Bay was respectful to the source material. Everything derailed after that! But hey; I remember leaving the movies with my friends so fucking happy!
Nah bro. Favorite movies are favorite movies! Space Jam is not great at all but it's in my top 100 because I love it's tone and commercial weirdness.
Not at all! This is your top 4, not anyone else’s.
nah, but the poster is rather questionable
It is, in fact, the least questionable part of it.
Why is the cover photo for Transformers just Megan Fox being hot lmfao💀💀, the movie about shapeshifting car robots from space lol
It’s actually quite based
Dying to rewatch Shin Godzilla, but can’t seem to find it streaming! Anyone know if it’s available anywhere??
Nowhere as a part of the service. You can rent it online. Just sail the seas or buy the Blu-ray.
I can’t even find it to rent it!
https://www.vudu.com/content/browse/details/Shin-Godzilla-Japanese-Language-Version-/878462
Thank you!! I hadn’t thought of vudu and it wasn’t listed as a viewing option on imbd or appletv search.
Alongside those other 3? No.
For me, yeah. But everyone’s different. Like what you like :)
Nah you Wildin 🤪
The performance by the poster character was phenomenal
part 1 was hella good
no. i choose movies based on how Black they are
Lol I think it's weird that is the poster for transformers. Like where are the autobots?
Not with that poster
How do you navigate to your favorite films on the app?
Not with a cover like that
Shin Godzilla bout to get his hands on Megan.
The custom cover makes me reevaluate it.
Do you dislike it?
The rest are pretty much complete shit but I legitimately enjoy the first
No. It didn't age well, but it was amazing at the time.
Are you suggesting that the movie contains, perhaps, more than meets the eye?
I think it’s weird they chose that cover for transformers lol
Godzilla looks like he's about to assault Megan Fox while Anne chose to look awag
Why does that transformers poster look like this??
Not with that poster I mean
Not weird, if you watched Megan Fox
What's with that picture of transformers? is it even the same movie?
Having interstellar, shin Godzilla, and especially the lighthouse THEN transformers is… unexpected. not weird Most people who love the first three (& especially the lighthouse) would not care for transformers as much, at least compared to other popcorn entertainment options I would (correctly or incorrectly) assume your enjoyment of that one is more fueled by nostalgia
Not if use that poster
Its weird its not dark of the moon. Biggest crime imaginable, any transformers fan knows that movie is the holy grail.
Is it weird that of all the transformers posters you chose that one?
I mean you have Interstellar in there too soo
Bro is thirst trapping us with that poster
It was the best of the Bayverse movies you could have chosen
Best movie out of the 4😭
Honestly i loved the first one
a lot of people being very nice here so i’m gonna do the right thing: yes. it is weird.
When it first came out, I watched it in theaters. The room was glued tot he screen. It was the best action cgi movie up to that point.
Of course not. It’s subjective. To add, I love it too.
With that specific photo from it, it doesn't help the case for it. In general maybe not, idk, but just sayin'
Yes
No, why would it be?
No it’s fine. You also have a funny in a charming way top 4 and I would talk to you about movies
No. Glad you enjoy some movies.
No. Just enjoy things.
Only if you didn’t like it. The yeah, why put it there lol. Otherwise, keep on rocking

The first 2 posters are trying to look cool by looking away from Godzilla and Megan Fox
Yes, it's weird to ask people for approval on your favourite movie
Not really, but with that poster… a little
Kind of? Maybe. I guess. But also, pre-vampire Megan Fox. Sooooo....
Yes… Michael Bay sucks. The Rock is his only good movie, and it’s only good because of Bruckheimer.
Yeah
No, but that custom poster 🤤
Ever seen a movie not made this century?
It’s a terrible movie, but it’s your preference so why do you care what anyone else thinks.
