Count me in.

I think these work without explanation, assuming you've seen or know about "A Few Good Men" and "Basic Instinct."

Possible spoiler. The film can be boiled down to these two seconds.

I've just seen A Few Best Men (released in 2011) there: does that count? I've now seen mediocre films at the cinema here in Bolivia years after their original release on two separate trips. Do distributors tend to keep hawking flops around the world in perpetuity like this?
