8 Great Films That Never Should Have Worked

4. Spring Breakers (2013)

spring-breakers So, here I am advocating the movie where James Franco has cornrows and robs people with Disney princesses--I never thought I'd see the day, but here I am. Spring Breakers is awesome. Spring Breakers is a movie that doesn't fully hit you until you have time to actually sit down and think about it. The first thing I said after seeing the film was, "What did I just watch?" It wasn't a sarcastic question poking fun at the film, I was genuinely unsure what I had just experienced. I spent days thinking about this movie, and after three or four it hit me--this was a very, very good movie. It's a beautiful film that would have director Harmony Korine on some Oscar lists if it wasn't such a crazy movie. The colors are beautiful, the story keeps you engaged, and James Franco is awesome as Alien. I wish I could say more, but words can only do so much for Spring Breakers, you just have to see it. Really though, it's nuts.
