This hasn't been done yet has it?

Mine are Neverending Story (Good story!), Navigator (good movie for its time I think! How did they do those effects with the spaceship?) and Superman 1 (Story is unbeatable!)

Hmmm, it seems like every movie that's come out in the last few years has been mediocre. I'll have to think about this one.

I liked Freeway. Of course I say that movie all the time

First Blood with Sylvester Stallone was cool.

Predator with Arnold was also pretty cool for an average action flick.

Unbreakable

The Stand ( a mini-series technically)

Air heads for a comedy. Adam Sandler in his early days but with Brenden Fraser doing the lead acting part.

Alien Resurrection

It has great dialogue, great action, great imagery, and great acting. The plot doesn't make perfect sense, but so what?

Don't know whether I'd call it "mediocre" but Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion had Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino as ditzy, air-headed LA bimbos in skimpy, skimpy outfits lost in their own fantasy land. Great, fun stuff just bursting with eye-candy for the male viewer.

I loved Falling down.

though I do quibble with the firepower those gang members had in their car.

A LAW rocket launcher? . And a 10 year old kid who knows how to operate it.

That's some pretty serious firepower for lowlife gang members .

but I still have that movie on tape. pretty cool flick.

my favorite scene is when he is in the fast food joint. "I want the burger that I see on the menu"

that was classic.

He looks up at the picture, then down at the sloppy burger on his tray

the hispanic chick was kind of cool.

and it was this movie that got me into Robert Duvall. Before that I thought he was one of those actors that only appealed to old people . I actually watched the Apostle because of Duvall.

The scene on the golf course is pretty cool as well. And the road contruction scene where he finally gets the guy to admit the road construction was bullshit designed to keep their budgets up.

I would say that a lot of the movies mentioned here are not "mediocre"; more like good-but-not-great (Falling Down, Roxanne, and especially Magnolia, a film for which I have a passion that my wife finds unfathomable).

Now favorite mediocre movie: that'd be Stripes, hands down.

Falling Down is my favourite movie ever. I almost suffocated my sisters last Christmas when they got me it on DVD, because I hugged them so much they could hardly breathe.
