Con Air

Saw Con Air (thanks, Leannasaurus) It was a stupid movie. No. It was a gloriously stupid movie. As full of flashing lights and wailing guitars as a classic-rock-themed pin-ball game. Also as full of cool-looking stuff that happens for no damn reason. Completely free of any subtlety or moral ambiguity. The protagonist is a kind of holy idiot who doesn't know much, but knows what right, dag nab it. The bad guys are literally murderous psychopaths. I usually don't like action movies, but when they're this gloriously outrageous, how can you not be caught up in it? Awesome dumb movie.
