Depends on what the movie is. If the person isn't supposed to be yelling (like it's not a horror movie and the person wasn't reacting to a scary scene):

I don't think we can judge To Boldly Flee quite yet. It hasn't all been released.
I do love the references to Flight of the Navigator. That's a film that is completely underrated. Specifically the scene where Spoony is connected to the computer and his brain is saying something other than what he wants to say. CS: "Spoony, what are you thinking now?" Answer: "Friday by Rebecca Black" Spoony: "What? No!" Sage: "How many times do you listen to Friday?" Spoony: "Never!" Answer: "12 times a day" Spoony: "No!"

I liked Episode IV ("A New Hope") the most. Episode V ("Empire Strikes Back") has a huge plot hole that I've yet to be able to reconcile.
So, spoilers if you haven't see it:
After the rebels destroy the Imperial Walkers and flee Hoth, Luke travels to the planet Dagobah to train with Yoda. Leia and Han, with Chewie and Threepio evade Imperial ships, hide out in a cave that isn't a cave, and then travel to Cloud City on Bespin to meet with Lando Calrissian to get the hyperdrive fixed. During this, you see various montages of Luke training with Yoda including entering the cave where he fights himself as Vader. All that's fine and dandy (though I have some serious questions about the density of that asteroid field!).
However, when Han and Leia get to Cloud City, it's a trap set by the Empire to lure Luke out of hiding. Luke senses Leia's in trouble and, despite the protestations of Yoda, leaves Dagobah to travel to Bespin to rescue them. When he gets to Bespin, he engages with Vader and is pretty well trained.
...wait, what? That's where I have an issue. How long did Luke actually train with Yoda to become so skilled? He didn't train that much with Kenobi before he was killed, so how much training could Luke actually have? How long did it take Han and Leia to dodge the Imperials and get to Cloud City?
Maybe it was a very long journey considering the hyperdrive was nonfunctional, but....they didn't show a montage of the travel or anything, stopping off at planets to resupply, maybe dodging Imperial entanglements, dancing with alien teddy bears (oh, wait, that'll have to wait for the sixth movie), or whatever.
That has always confused and bugged me...

"Small Soldiers", made in the 1950s, tells the story about an Army brigade made up entirely of little people.

A low-budget sequel that's low on comedy and full of bad writing to Richard Pryor's "The Toy", featuring none of the sociopolitical elements of the original. Direct to video and direct to bargain-bin at your local Wal-Mart.

I have to say that the original with Ahnuld is still king, but the remake is pretty good in its own right. I think the biggest problem I had with the movie was in the spoilers:
"The Fall". The stupid-ass "The Fall". I understand the need for it and how it works, but the physics involved just make my brain explode. Or rather, the LACK of physics. If you had a tunnel that went through the Earth and the core and out the other side, first, the car would have to enter free fall. Almost immediately, the riders inside would experience weightlessness. You couldn't walk around inside the car as it's falling like Quaid/Hauser did. And you wouldn't SUDDENLY experience weightlessness at the core's perimeter. The usage of weightlessness during the climax just had me facepalming. And, once you're on the other side of the core, gravity just doesn't RETURN all at once to have a poor officer falling to his death. Then they open the door at the climax and decide to just climb up the ladder outside. WHAT. In order for the trip to take only 17 minutes, the car would have to be traveling around 28,000 miles per hour, creating a fireball on the outside of the car from the air friction and compression. And a human body couldn't survive unprotected at those speeds. At freefall, it would take over 40 minutes to reach the other side of the Earth, assuming it would even make it considering terminal velocity speeds and such...but they could have booster rockets (though they didn't show that in the movie) to assist getting the car the rest of the way to the surface.
Just...argh! But, then again, the near-vacuum eye bugging-out sequence in the original didn't make any sense either...even if that did happen, you just can't recover from something like that by simply adding air to remove the near vacuum...
Ah well, I liked them both. The original edging out over the remake.
