Mars Attacks
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - The opening sequence is pretty amazing actually.
Sex Drive (esp the directors cut)
This is harder than I thought it would be. I was also surprised at the ratings for Mars Attacks and Sex Drive. Mars Attacks is a legit great movie but admittedly very odd. Sex Drive is just stupid fun.. Kinda peak teen sex comedy. Not perfect but funny in it's own way.
Mars attacks is genuinely hilarious.
however, the opening sequence is the only good thing about Valerian.
Uh, what about Bubble's dance routine? That was pretty great.
I've seen better.
Also: OMG my partner has been kidnapped and might be killed! Let's stop and watch a pole dance tho
Cara Delevingne and Rihanna are pleasant to look at.
Edit: Although now I'm seeing this: https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/luc-besson-rape-sand-van-roy-details-accusations-1201982766/
and this:

after checking out the Wikipedia.
Man, I loved the Fifth Element and Wasabi and Leon the Professional, but this seems like a pattern.
Sex Drive Directors cut is ridiculous. Just plain ridiculous. I love the character of Ian's older brother when he realizes his Judge has been taken and he's visualizing his younger brother driving around in it eating a jelly donut LOL. Also when he's just sitting in his driveway depressed that his cars been taken and is wearing his motorcycle helmet for no reason.
And in the end, the big twist about Lance (was this his bros name?) at his family's Christmas.
My grandpa took me and a friend to see Mars Attacks in the theater, he went to a different movie so we could be on our own. Legend.
Mars Attacks, like most of the options I can l think of, is not post 2000 so it fails requirement 2. I think I'm going to throw out Bulletproof Monk as my unpopular like.
Ack. Ack, ack!
It was! I also like the Bazaar sequence. I feel like that's the only place where the writing, acting, and sets actually gel.
