A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Primer (It's fairly new but didn't get the justice it deserved)
To be fair, Primer doesn't really have mainstream appeal, about as much as π
I watched it once in a university movie theater. They showed it twice because they said that watching it once isn't enough to understand it. I didn't watch the second one because I felt twice still isn't enough eitherway
A good five or six times does it. The time travel is all logically consistent, but it's a rat's nest
ive seen it 20 times over 30 years and it still keeps me thinking.
there was one thing just this last time.. he says "lets live here" in the end.. and i never understood why when he was basically tortured/trapped in the same place for decades. wouldnt you want to gtfo? i recently realized; that last day, he actually came to care for those humans. why leave home?
You think?
I feel like it has a much larger potential following than it actually does though.
I feel I'm more likely to have a conversation with someone who says they like scifi/time travel but hasn't heard of Primer than I am to talk to someone who has actually seen Primer.
Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”
Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“
It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”
To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.
They should cut a trailer for Terminator 2 that hides the twist that Arnold is playing a good guy this time. They originally wanted to keep it out if the marketing but Arnold was a much bigger draw since the first movie and the studio wouldn't let it be a surprise.
Can you imagine how epic that mall hallway shootout scene would have been if you went into it blind?
Yea it sucks. "He's back but now he's good!"
I watched t2 first I think as a kid so I don't ever remember the reveal on this.
But I knew about what you are saying and made my girlfriend watch t1 and then t2. She actually thought Arnie was the good guy before we watched but I assured her he's the bad guy. "He's a terminator he is designed to kill humans!"
I was really excited for the reveal and she said she was surprised when I asked but I was hoping for a bigger reaction.
I'd go to the movies for almost every one of these. That would be a blast.
Great list.
Primer came out 20 years ago. Its not fairly new.
And as much as i really like primer, it doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the rest of most of the list. Its a hot mess, with a really clever concept.
I went to a double matinee of Groundhog Day, followed by Groundhog Day.
They already did this with Star Wars episode 7.
Somehow... Punxsutawney Phil returned
They should re-run Morbius in cinemas!
Phil??
Ned Ryerson?!? 😱
👊💥
This isn't how this meme format works
Tbh I stole it from the Internet. Not sure if the jpegs give it away.
I didn't take much consideration to the meme format as I just seen the pic and liked it.
If you google groundhog day meme this picture comes up. So I guess it has involved into its own meme, just like Milhouse.
I could have done "WRONG" but I was too happy to be making a meme.
