Wonderful Things in Mediocre (or Just Plain Bad) Movies

@MagnusHex - great call with Urban Legend! I remember really liking that movie as a teenager, and then I saw it again a few years ago and, yeah, like you said, it's got a lot of flaws to it.

But yes, that opening scene is really well done and genuinely creepy. I get a kick out of the fact that you weren't familiar with the "killer in the backseat" legend - I would've thought that'd be one that would have popularity in various parts of the world, but then again, America has a particular kind of history with cars that doesn't seem to be as big a thing in some other parts of the world, so that could explain that, too. It's interesting how different areas of the world have their own legends and stories of that sort, and what ones gain popularity and what ones aren't as well known and whatnot.

Scream 3 is easily the weakest in the series for me but the climax is still pretty fun.  The line "Oh why don't you stop your whining and get on with it?  I've heard this shit before!  You know why you kill people, Roman, do you?  Because you choose to, there is no one else to blame!  Why don't you take some fucking responsibility!?" makes up for a lot of sins.  I just feels so good to hear and it's aged better than it was probably ever intended to.

That's my favorite part. So many movies and TV shows would have her agree with him or some crap. Nope, not Sidney. Go Sidney!

Dudley Do-Right was dumb, but it’s got some moments. Alfred Molina clearly put his all being into Snidley Whiplash and this line was classic:

Also this moment deserves some mention since in light of current pop culture discourse about villains and antiheroes:
