Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I want to know what films you really like or Love, yet everyone around you hates. And i mean general opinion of critics and film fans.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I really like Hulk, as some other MoFos do, but the critics BASHED this one.

I also liked Transformers 2, The Beach, The Godfather Part III & Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I second Ang Lee's Hulk. I love that movie.

I also am quite fond of Speed Racer.

There are several Brian DePalma films that I'm sure qualify. I love The Black Dahlia. Like both Mission to Mars (probably not well-known enough to be universally hated) and Bonfire of the Vanties (probably derided even more than Hulk).

I also like Ishtar and Sharkboy and Lavagirl (which I saw in 3-D with a few friends and we literally had the theater all to ourselves).

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

i like Face Off... :o everyone thinks it's silly but oh well, i like the silliness

I hate Hulk. :D

The Beach is one of my favorite films of all time, so I'm with you on that one.

Pearl Harbor

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my biggest one.

I could also say:
Hulk
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Daredevil
Ghost Rider
Spawn
The Fantastic Four movies
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Speed Racer wasn't bad either. There's lots more, I'm sure.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Godfather Part III i think is generally well liked now, although people say it doesn't hold up to the first two for which i also agree.

Star Wars Episode I i like, and no angry Star Wars nerd will change that. **** logic, its Star Wars. Indy 4 is one i also didn't mind. Why do people hate Indy 4 i don't know ?

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Star Wars Episode 1, definitely. Also Popeye, Howard the Duck, Superman 3 (Richard Pryor is in it! ), MacGruber, and Batman and Robin. Some fun stuff there.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

MacGruber NO WAY! That film as many other SNL films are in my eyes awful, except Blues Brothers.

I thought Wayne's World was good too, but most of them are terrible.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Forgot about Popeye, good call Monkeypunch!

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Wow, a lot of love for Hulk. ^_^ I rewatched it a few months ago after seeing it the first time when it came out, and I must agree that it is a fascinating film in dire need of a reassessment---especially in light of its godawful Norton reboot.

And yeah, I've never really understood the cool critical response to Mission to Mars either. It is a very singular alien film in my opinion. The final act is extremely elegant.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

superman 3 and4
batman forever
batman androbion
catwomen
dragon ball evloution
frquency
power ranger moive

Well, you're just proving my point. A lot of people hate the film, but I loved it. I laughed so hard at that I missed a lot of dialogue. :D

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Well for starters Wedding Crashers and Jumper though there are many, many more.

Jumper????

I used to rent that and Red Planet all the time when I was a little tyke

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

crank 2, death race, transformers, she devil, heartbreakers...and ths one is split 50/50..number 23

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Constantine
Superman
Adam Sandler Films :p

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

WHICH 'Superman'? I think the first one is almost universally loved, but the sequels were progressively hated upon more and more with each release.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Sorry I meant Superman III. I love Richard Pryor,that man can make any film enjoyable for me :)

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

That's easily my favourite one, but then, I really don't care a jot for Superman.

i second pearl harbor...that is one of 2? maybe 3, ben affleck films..

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

XANADU 1980 roller disco Olivia Newton-John fiasco...love it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I also liked Pearl Harbor so maybe everyone doesn't hate it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I personally don't mind Pearl Harbor either, interestingly enough.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Click is another film that I think a lot of people dislike. I say for a comedy its pretty good.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...RzKq7bPXgvP9RQ

Love is probably too strong a word.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Its not my favorite Star Wars film but I have love for all six of the SW films. Its Star Wars how can you hate it.

Did you not see this post directly above yours?

I don't really hate it, but man I would like to punch that little son-of-a-bitch...George Lucas.

http://hotmovienow.com/images/wyhiwidu.jpg

I LOVE this film. It might be my favourite Ridley Scott film.

It does drag a bit when Julianne Moore is on screen, but I love the entire Florence chapter, just superb.

They Live is awesome, but I have friends who walked out during the nine-minute fist-fight. (ok I sort-of see their point)

But Mission to Mars is pure crap.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

i love the film Cars but i think the most of the people around me hat this movie so i don,t know why

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

No Such Thing (Hal Hartley, 2001). 36/100 on metacritic and I love that movie unreservedly.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

That looks so cool

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

You should check it out, wintertriangles. That and Hartley's Amateur (if you haven't seen it).

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

There are a lot that I could come up with and will try to do so at some point.

The first one that comes to mind however is The Faculty with Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett among others. I'm not even sure why I really like it but I just find it to be extremely good fun.

It's looking like I'm the only one who loved Sucker Punch.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Oh thats out? Need to go

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Armageddon. Think it's so much better than everyone gives it credit for (minus the horrible science involved but that's a whole different story).

I'd also say Titanic...though I still don't think it's as good as the Academy does. But it's a lot better than people give it credit for today.

Why? Because it capitalized on hundreds of people dying through not focusing on the disaster at all but a stupid, fake love story that just happened to end because one of them drowned?

I agree, it could have focused on the event as a whole a little more. However, if you think of it as in the sense of a love story- it's a very good one.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Titanic does actually focus on the deaths of over a thousand people, just as Schindler's List focuses on the deaths of millions of people. It's just that both films focus on survivors too. Now, I'm not here to say which survivors are real or not, but survivors did exist during both events. I know some people (inexplicable to me) who dislike Schindler's List because ALL the Jews DID NOT DIE. Apparently they wanted a film with no survivors. They're probably all Godard fans...

oh that's right. movies aren't for entertainment purposes!

At the same time, the film provides a class commentary on the nature of the ship itself through the romance. What is the movie on all its levels? A history second. A romance first. But even more than that: a class-subverting romance behind it all---the thing which ties together both the history and the romance into a singular, tragic dream. Now, I will not attempt to claim some kind of implied irony on behalf of Cameron, but it's precisely his decision to have Jack die along with the ship that makes the movie so true on both its apparent and ironic levels. One of the key details that seals the deal for me in respect to the film's intentional dramatic balance for the romance and overall narrative of the ship is how the impact with the iceberg precisely coincides with Jack and Rose making love for the first time.

But yeah, Schindler's List is obscene.

I love Due Date.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Spider-Man 3. I think Topher Grace was an excellent choice for Venom because he was the anti-Peter Parker, he was confident, more in control and knew how to play the game. In the 3rd movie Venom wasn't so much as a BIGGER threat like he is in the comic book, but a dark analogue of the person Peter Parker was becoming. That's why I liked it. BUT don't get me wrong...I hated all the extra crap.

I really loved Sucker Punch even though Rottentomatoes gave it a score of 20%. From the reviews I've read, everyone is hating on this film and I don't know why. It's a popcorn action movie that's really fun :) Was everyone expecting it to be Shakespeare?

Anyway, I dragged my girlfriends along with me and they all hated it. Not a single one of them are into action movies at all which kinda sucks but I'm definitely going to see it again!

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I still need to see "Sucker Punch" BUT I can tell you 100% that I'm not expecting Shakespeare when someone like Zack Snyder is directing a movie that he himself wrote. The trailer gave us everything we pretty much need to know: Hot chicks, Insane asylum, hot chicks, fantastical locations and fights scenes and hot chicks.

I've always said I'd go and see any movie if it was honest about what I was getting for my money. When I went to see "300" I wasn't going in expecting to see a historically accurate depiction of an ancient battle, I was going in expecting "THIS IS SPARTA!" and that's what I got and I loved it ! Then again, I have yet to see "Sucker Punch" but my expectations aren't looking for "Citizen Kane" here.

By the way I think I neglected to mention hot chicks.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Rod Schneider movies are hated by everyone.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Waterworld

I don't know if people hated it, but overall, it got really bad reviews. Yes, there were alot of implausable things that happened, ( i.e., Mariner taking Helen to the ocean floor in a balloon) But sometimes you've simply got to suspend logic and disbelief in order to enjoy a movie.

Pans and razzies aside, I enjoyed it. A cool adventure.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I really like the Resident Evil films. 1 and 2 were just awesome. The critics hate them.

Dreamcatcher

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I liked Norbit.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I wouldn't say EVERYONE hated it, but a vast few do.

Daredevil (2003)

I honestly really like the Daredevil Director's Cut. It's still a top ten film in that genre. Why the studio didn't release that cut from the start is beyond me.

Quite enjoyed Daredevil and the directors cut is a big improvement though I'd still have it behind a lot of films in the superhero genre

I thought Daredevil could have been a lot better. Its a watchable film, Ben Affleck was fine Colin Farell and Jennifer Garner were forgettable to be honest (thats just me by the way)

The Fourth Kind. (says really fast then hides) I liked it!!

What immediately popped into my head after this question was Dinner For Schmucks, sure it was predictable but I thought it was sweet and pretty funny compared to most new films, but it was a resounding 'meh' from my friends and critics. Would like to get my paws on the original...

Also 2008's Hush as I normally hate thrillers but my heart was in my mouth the whole time.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

interveiw with a vampire or something like that...great movie that many ppl didnt like

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Call me a douche, but I can't get enough of MacGruber. Hilarious as all hell to me, but I seem to be terribly alone on that one.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Because it was an R. That's box office death for "super-hero" films because all the teens who the film is marketed to can't get in. They wanted another Spider-Man, and didn't get it.

That said, I did enjoy the directors cut a LOT more than the theatrical, but both would have been vastly improved by 100% less Evanescence. That band is horrible. :D

I laughed my ass off when I watched this for the first time. And the second time. And, yes, the third time. It has a Critic's score of 0% and a User's score of 35% on RottenTomatoes. But it's one of my favorite comedies to date!

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

i liked 'el topo' while my fiends hated it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

all parts of spiderman

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

The Beach
Versus
Constantine
PLUNKETT & MACLEANE
Mind Hunters

You have an ally here, akatemple. I really like Mindhunters. Even JLM being in it isn't enough to stop me watching it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

oh yeah and Moulin Rouge

I liked Moulin Rouge, The Beach, and Constantine. We must like a lot of the same movies that no one else does.:)

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

You got me there. I massively hate that film despite the presence of Mos Def and fairly decent realization of the imagery (especially the look of the guide itself). There was already plenty of comedy in that book without added "hip" comedy. There was also plenty of a plot without the need of a distinct and pervasive villain.

Also, loved the BBC series despite how cheap it was.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Jersey Girl, Dogma, Clerks 2, Cop Out you get the gist.

I'm with you on those two.

Is Dogma hated? I've heard little but praise for it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Jumper- solid entertainment to me, who cares about the realism of it all

The Lucky Ones- underrated performances and really just a fun movie

Man on Fire- maybe not as much hatred for people, but I think it's a great movie

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

The Village.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Oh, and Natural Born Killers.

It's a ******* work of art.

Couldn't agree more. Love that film. Especially these two scenes.

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/images/nat...illersr402.jpg
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mD5cvhck9a...01--film-A.jpg

People hate Natural Born Killers, I love that film.

People hate "Staying Alive" (1983), but I looove it!
Some people don't like "Fargo" - I can't really understand why.
I think it's a great movie.

Count me in as another one who loves that movie.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

I'm another person who thinks Natural Born Killers is a masterpiece. Oliver's best.

Hmm, I don't care for Natural Born Killers, does absolutely nothing for me. I can't think of anything redeeming about it.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Edmond,

The Devil's Rejects,

and Hostel.

Agreed! I think quite a few of M. Night Shyamalan's movies have recieved undeserved hatred, although I admit he's definitely going down hill. What the hell was with that scene in Devil where the security guard drops that donut or bagel or something and it lands face down and, totally serious, he claims it as proof of the devil?...:laugh:


Oh, and mine's Vanilla Sky. What I find interesting about this movie is that everyone who watched it when it first came out HATED it but everyone who I've forced to watch it in the past couple of years have LOVED it. Weird.

Agreed on Vanilla Sky. I was totally engrossed on first viewing, but on a recent rewatch I don't think it held up quite as well. Can't say I love it, but I still think it's pretty cool.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

As for Night, I like all his movies. Even Lady in the Water, though I do think it was somewhat weak. The Happening was by far his weakest, in my opinion.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Yea, I liked Lady in the Water too. I'd say Devil was slightly weaker than The Happening though. I think The Happening had a slightly cooler concept and better death scenes.

I haven't seen Devil or Airbender yet. They're in my netflix queue.

M. Night did Devil? That was possibly the worst film I have ever seen.

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

The Butterfly Effect

You're not alone, I really enjoyed The Devil's Rejects :highfive:

Re: Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 

Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell. Its the kind of a movie to bring you out of a depressed mood. Funny as Hell.
