Name a movie that the majority of film critics, or society in general think are terrible, but you actually enjoy.









I pick Waterworld

I pick Waterworld too.

Hackers

'Miami Vice' comes to mind. Its grown on me since I got the DvD.

I think this is only not annoyingly cliche if we don't pick anything based on camp or ironic value, or because we wanna' bone someone in the movie or something.

You Got Served

sw

I dont know. The Island. That movie lost a ton of money.

I liked that movie too. One time I made this joke about our dead dog going to the island. You had to be there.

Big Trouble in Little China

boondock saints

Everyone loves that movie. If anything it's overrated.

I liked Showgirls, but I don't exactly disagree with anyone saying it was terrible.

I really hated Hackers. I feel smart now if the critics hated it, too.

I think Waterworld was pretty decent. It clearly borrowed from Road Warrior, but I think that's a good choice of movie to borrow from.

People went on about how much money they lost as if that somehow made the movie less enjoyable for the viewer. Why should I get a crap? I'm not an investor.

Another post-apocalyptic Costner movie that holds a special place in my mind...The Postman.

Also, most of my friends hate A Life Less Ordinary, but it's one of my favorite movies.

Waynes World Two

I know I'll lose all my sci-fi cred here, if I ever had any that is, but I like Dune. Especially the Alan Smithee cut with the dude narrator instead of Irulan narrating.

I couldn't agree more with the Big Trouble in Little China pick either.

Joe vs. the Volcano.

You no come here, illegal.


BTiLC is a greta movie.


I'd like to add The Beach to the list. I really enjoyed it.

dutch,

i was going with what film critics said about the movie. i used to watch it all the time, haven't seen it in 2 years now.

I thought The Beach was actually pretty good too. In fact, I think I like anything that Dicaprio is in.

Starship Troopers


Harry and the Hendersons

I don't think those count. They were both pretty popular.

I watched Siskel and Ebert lampoon Harry and the Henderson because: "It is an affront to the true Big Foot legend" and they gave it a mixed one up one down


same episode they gave Witches of eastwick two thumbs up.

great, great movie.

I like a lot of the cheesy big budget movies that the critics slam. None specific come to mind.

Pearl Harbor???

they made a sequel?

O Brother Where Art Thou

Great flick that got terrible reviews when it came out. EW gave it an F.

I pick pretty much every movie.

Critics usually suck.

You know how I know you're gay...

Because I suck a mean dick?

I know most people univerally hate Michael Bay, but I always enjoy his movies.

He's done some good stuff, and then he's done some not so good stuff. I will say right now though. If he fucks up Transformers. I will never see one of his movies ever again.

Rocky 5, i personally thought it was great.

5thed


Waterworld, especially the extended directors cut, is really good.




The Witches of Eastwick is a terrible terrible movie.

I don't believe you. Please post a link. How the hell could anyone give that movie anything less than an A-.


I searched around EW.com and rottentomatoes.com and I found the guy that gave it a bad review (It is no longer linked to the EW site, and the rating isn't available).

Owen Gleiberman

This moron also gave a solid A to "From Hell" and the new "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"... so he's just a moron.

Or he was upset that George Clooney was named sexiest man alive instead of Johnny Depp.

lol... I was thinking the same thing.

my head just exploded. Rocky 5? yikes.


I vote for Major League (if we are going by critics....this movie was panned)

Also, the Wizard. (You got 50,000 points on Double Dragon!?!??!?!?)

Showgirls is strangly compelling. I got new apperciation for it when a writer for the seattle's "The Stranger" did a screening of it, where he did, like, the commentary track. Hilarious, and gives you new appearcation for it. But in honesty, camp value is high for this movie.


Joe V Volcano I loveit, great call!

The 'Burbs.. another overlooked hanks classic. Absolutely slays me.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey... the movie refrences freaking the Seventh seal, for god's sake!

The Fifth Element. I don't know how it was recieved, and I know alot of people whom like it. But when Iw as a freshman in college, I convinced a bunch of my dormmated to go se the movie at our campus theatre, as I had seen it and loved it. Every single one of them hated it, thought it was stupid, completely didn't get the brillance of it, and mocked me for the rest of the year over it.

Get ready for the Transformers fuk up, btw.

I hate, hate, HATE Luc Besson, generally speaking. I'm not going to get into the weird ways I feel about Leon, but otherwise I find his work to be as unwatchable as any ever. I think it's his writting I hate more than the way he shoots the movie. Even still, I loved Fifth Element. Bill and Ted Go To Hell, though, I hate.

I think most people like The 'Burbs.

Actually one of my favorite movies ever. I generally get mocked for that.

Bill and ted's bogus journey,. thank you. very little.

It's had both titles at one poin or another.

Road House --- great movie

"I'll get all the sleep i need when im dead"

both underworlds

The Devil's Own.

Luc Besson did all 3 Taxis and he gets my respect for those.

The frst one was awsome ( the french Taxi), the other 2 not so great but not bad. THose are the movies that Taxi (the US version) ripped off last year with Jimmy Fallon and Little Kim.

Taxi is about a degenerate Taxi driver that speeds around Paris in a pimped out Reno and then ends up helping the cops, its hillarious and the racing sceenes are really good. Highly reccomemded.

Haha Dune... I'm a closet-Dune fan as well... I liked the books too.. Even though I didn't have a damn clue of what was going on

What the hell is the spice?

Lol how bout the Batman and Robin with George Clooney?

Did Sin City get any bad reviews? Because I thought that was a good movie

Batman and Robin is one of the worst movies EVER!
