Movies you remember watching but remember pretty much nothing about it

Yeah, a firefighter who goes after a terrorist who killed his family.

That superhero film with the Big Beat Down in the last act.

The Mission - I watched it in the 80s and remember nothing about it except that I liked the music.

The movie is also another example of giving Arnie the most American name. This time, it’s Gordon Brewster.

Joseph P. Brenner. What does the P stand for?

When you have seen 2,250+ total movies like I have that's going to happen a fair amount, especially when it's been quite a few years.

because since most movies (if not the vast majority(since there is only around 20% of movies I have seen that are worth re-watching)) are not worth re-watching it's going to be that much easier to forget about a portion of them because of that.

hell, ill bet there are some movies I have seen that I probably don't even remember seeing (like when looking through the movies I have seen there are some I don't even remember pretty much nothing about them from seeing the title of the movie and the cover).

but I suspect in general if I have seen a movie ill probably be able to tell you if I have seen it or not without checking my IMDb account even though there has to be some that I would not be able to tell you whether I have seen them or not even though I have seen them.

p.s. but I think on the flip side of that, when it comes to movies among My Favorite Movies (or thereabouts) I can probably recall, with solid accuracy, if a movie is in there or not once I see the title of the movie (although if I had to name all 218 strictly from memory, I could not do it). but then again this is far less movies to remember in general (basically there is 218 movies I scored a 6-6.5/10 or higher) so it's not surprising.

That's pretty much the #1 super hero movie or close to it if you ask me.

but I guess in terms of remembering stuff about those in general... it's pretty much the same stuff recycled which pretty much comes back to which ones have the most interesting characters etc and in this regard Wonder Woman stands above the vast majority.

Compared to other titles with similar acclaim, what stood out for you?

It's pretty much like I mentioned in my previous post.

but basically... some super hero characters are simply more interesting than others and their presence helps boost their movies above most super hero movies because of it. because in terms of the general formula of super hero movies they are all similar enough but it pretty much boils down to the character/actor(or actress) that seems to elevate them as some have a strong enough character/presence to make a movie good enough for me to re-watch from time-to-time where as most do not in my mind.

in fact, not many super hero movies are worth re-watching. like off the top of my head, on which super hero movies are worth re-watching (in no order)... Wonder Woman/Man of Steel/Batman v Superman/Thor (series)/Batman Returns/The Dark Knight/Batman Begins/Justice League and I think that's pretty much it for me currently. but it's been a while since I seen the Batman Returns, which was June 1st 2013, as the others I have viewed recently enough. although I will say The Dark Knight/Batman Returns are barely a Thumbs Up (basically a 5.5-6/10) based on my most recent re-watches of those two. but at one point in the past The Dark Knight was my #1 super hero movie and now I barely like it as it was basically sometime between Dec 27th 2011 and Apr 4th 2014 is when it lost a lot of it's spark for me as in Dec 2011 it was still a strong movie for me and then on that April 2014 viewing it dropped back to a 6/10 and then dropped off further on my most recent re-watch on Feb 28th 2018 to it's current 5.5-6/10 (barely a Thumbs Up).

for the record... I only gave Wonder Woman (2017) a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up) but there is not a single super hero movie I score above a 6/10 at this point even though Man of Steel (2013) was a 6-6.5/10 until Feb 2019 which was my 3rd viewing. basically Man of Steel (2013) did this on the following viewings with score... 1st = 6/10, 2nd = 6-6.5/10, 3rd = 6/10. I have seen Wonder Woman twice so far and it's 6/10 held steady and I pretty much expect it to stay there for the foreseeable future, but only time will tell.

but I guess once I put aside all of the movies I score a 6-6.5/10 or higher, of which there are only 218 movies out of the 2,250+ total I have seen, I would say out of the roughly remaining 300 movies or so that I like, Wonder Woman is likely among the better of those bunch. like guesstimating... I would probably say it's within the Top 50, if not Top 50 then probably Top 100(so top 1/3rd), out of those 300 or so movies. or at the least on the higher half of those 300 or so movies as I am pretty confident on claiming that much.
