So my dad’s all time favorite movie was The Sting with Newman and Redford. To be honest it’s actually a pretty great movie, so I can’t really criticize that. “Chariots of Fire” was another one my parents liked and I never saw it so I’m not sure how terrible it is. Plan 9 from Outer Space was another one they loved, and I can’t criticize that either for obvious reasons, but maybe watching that kinda stuff is a small part of why I’m so weird.
I guess I should mention my parents were also in an evangelical borderline cult and didn’t watch too much popular media since they considered it “worldly”. They would ironically sometimes let us watch very adult films like Predator or Robocop, and I dunno if it’s because they were clueless or just cared way more about sex than graphic violence.
I also remember watching some weird religious shit like “The God Makers” which talks all about how Mormons believe Jesus and Satan were brothers and other stuff that makes them look bad, which there’s plenty of.
EDIT: Also forgot to mention UHF, and now that I think about it they actually had not bad taste in films overall.
