Are the bolded ones your idea of a joke?

Meet the parents. De Niro's best work. Jesus Christ

i'm not a fan of the ones in bold. (Apart from Will Smith)
Plus Turner and Hooch was a classic in the day
Arnie I only liked that film because he's fighting the devil, it was either that or True Lies. Hate the Terminator films.
I still think Hannibal was better than Silence of the Lambs, more gory.
Not really a fan of Star Wars films either but I liked Jedi because I loved the ewoks when I was little.
Leonardo Di Caprio's face gets on my nerves so I tend not to watch his films, Shutter Island was probably the best of the bunch

You sound like a bitter old cnut.

I'm 27 and like loads of old films and love some of the classics. I'm into films of all eras; just the other day I downloaded Metropolis, and that was released in 1927. Just because you're an old cnut doesn't make you automatically superior; I know old men who are dumb fecks and 'yoofs' who are better read than 99% of the populace of all ages. So tell me, what the feck do you know about the youth of today, gramps?

Your a sad fecker for downloading metropolis. :)
