AMC Movies Part Two

Here comes Part Two of my list of Movies that AMC is Trying to Pass Off as "Classic" (click here for Part One):
  • Reign of Fire (2002) - Did anybody see this movie?  Probably not, but it had Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, and Matthew McConaughey fighting dragons in England.  Not American and definitely not classic.
  • The Kingdom (2007) - This thing had Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner doing something in Iraq.  I never saw it and neither has anyone else, so what made AMC think anyone could possibly believe it was classic.
  • Galaxy Quest (1999) - I love this movie.  It's pretty funny and was the last movie spoof worth watching.  However, it was made in 1999.  Give it another decade or two and then you could pass it off as classic.
  • Once Upon A Time In Mexico (2003) - This was apparently the sequel to Despardo.  They added Johnny Depp to the cast, but that didn't make it a good movie.  AMC just continues to make bad decisions and we aren't done yet.
  • League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) - Ha!  If not for Batman & Robin, this might have been the worst movie ever made based on a comic book.  You have to be kidding me, AMC.
  • The Scorpion King (2002) - The Rock in a The Mummy prequel.  If The Mummy wasn't a classic, what about this movie could possibly be considered classic?
  • The Scorpion King 2 (2008) - Just so you know, this movie went straight to video.  Think about that.  Because AMC sure didn't when they decided to air it on their "classic" movie channel.
  • The Transporter (2002) - Jason Statham movies can never and will never fall into any category that can be called "classic".  Name one that even comes close.  It's impossible.
  • 300 (2006) - Another Gerard Butler movie on this list and another movie that is definitely not a "classic".
  • Con Air (1997) - Oh, come on, AMC.  Are you guys even trying?  Did anybody at your office even watch this movie?  Nicolas Cage's hair alone should have disqualified it from airing on a classic movie channel.
  • Godzilla (1998) - Could you even consider the original Godzilla a classic?  Maybe and that's a big maybe.  So, what did this piece of shit strike AMC as "classic"?  Was it Matthew Broderick's terrible casting?  Was it the Madison Square Garden fight scene?  Do the producers of this movie have dirty pictures of the AMC president?  I'm going with that last one because it is the only way this movie could ever be considered a "classic".
"Well, I can give Con Air this, that hair sure is classic."
