Everything everywhere all at once is really good but not that sad. It is more movingly sad. Probably have to rewatch :)

This thread should just be all Arnold examples.
Running Man: Telling a tied up Maria Conchita Alonso that he’s saying “Please” as he lifts the entire weight machine she’s bound to.
Commando: Tearing out car seats bare-handed to make room for his bulk in a tiny car.
Terminator 1: Boyfriend fight.
Terminator 2: Biker Bar intro or handheld minigun.
Twins: Lifting a car to turn off the alarm while Danny DeVito steals it.

Up until that moment I was trying to be a team player and was on board. I just have my limits.

A Bridge Too Far (1977) would be my pick. An all-Star cast where no one lead is given an exorbitant amount of screen time.
Great war epic too, despite the star power.

I think for some people distracted entertainment is entertainment. The type of people that are generally scrolling their phone the entire time they're watching television. So I imagine these people would say they had a good time at the theatre even though they spent a sizeable chunk of that time talking to their friends or playing on their phone

That’s the thing about being earnest. If the audience is already on board, the moment is awesome. If they’re not, it’s ludicrous.
Speaking only for myself, I love that moment and the blatant over-the-top drama of it.

I had to check this, and Frodo gets as much as 120 minutes screen time, compared to Sam who is 2nd and get 75 minutes. Most of that skip is from the 1st movie
Aragorn is 3rd with 72 minutes, he has a lot of screentime in 1st and 2nd movie but lacks a lot in the 3rd.

Rumor has it that the prop was so well engineered that it was actually incredibly easy to push, despite looking like a tortuous task.
So on his first attempt, Schwarzenegger gives it some oomph and sends the whole thing spinning, knocking himself on the back of the noggin with the next spoke.

Reply to Jackie Chan's last good movie? by Ebbemonster
The last Jackie Chan film I thought he was really great in was Police Story 2013, although it's not really a "typical" jackie chan film as it's quite melodramatic rather than comedic. Still, he's in decent shape back then, and the younger generation he has in the ensemble are competent, so the stunt work is excellent in imo.
A lot of his crossover Western releases shifted their focus to just a small number of high profile set pieces (think the bamboo scaffolding scene in Rush Hour 2). While impressive, this meant less time was spent on intricately choreographed fight sequences, which is what I personally really dig, and Police Story 2015 is the last one I remember with a healthy balance of the two

Both those movies have lead characters. Syd Field says you can always tell the main character because he’s the one that moves the story towards the ending. In Butch and Sundance, that’s Butch. In Res Dogs, it’s Mr Orange. In Pulp Fiction, that’s more an anthology and each story has a main character.

Love that movie. Wouldn't say it's a good movie, but it's fun to watch. Mostly because of Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

The deleted scene that they did was also good but they thought two weight lifting scenes was redundant (probably right).
