Favorite Movie You Liked That Everyone Else Thought Was Crap

[smearbrick1]

Sort of like a guilty pleasure movie thread.

Here's two of mine:

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane - Great quote from this movie:

Out of towner: Can you tell us how to get to Graumann's Chinese Theater?

Ford: Go back to Wisconsin, *******.

Out of Towner: We're from Chicago.

Ford: Yeah, and I'm from my Dad's penis.

One Fine Day

[Cole]

1984's "Lifeforce".
Very Quatermass in style.

Must get around to getting this on DVD.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

Beavis & Butthead Do America

[reboot]

Dead Birds.

[Bodyslide]

Enemymine

[Xylob the Destroyer]

Ice Pirates

[Ironballs]

Star Wars, all of them

[Xylob the Destroyer]

Sorry Ironballs, but those don't count.
Not everybody thought they were crap!!
TONS of poeple like the Star Wars movies.
and not all Star Wars fans hated the first 2 either.
I like 'em just fine (haven't seen ep III yet, I'm going tomorrow morning!)

[Ironballs]

I knew I was going to get flamed.

Ep III, not a bad flick compare to ep I and II, I can recommend it.

Back on topic, I really liked kanagroo Jack, but everyone I met thinks it sucked.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

all 4 Batman movies (though like Ironballs with Star Wars, a lot of folks actually liked the first 2... many hate the last 2)
Van Helsing

[SquirrelDip]

There's many here (I like some pretty twisted movies) ... But this one stands way out:

"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension"

I got boo'd by about 6 family members when I first tried to put it on for them.

[AlecWest]

Enemymine

High on my list, too. Love the film. Also liked "The Shadow."

[SquirrelDip]

I also enjoyed "Enemy Mine" - made me think of "The Last Starfighter" which I liked and not many others cared for.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

indeed, i also liked Enemy Mine and the Last Starfighter

also, Lost In Space

[reboot]

Weekend at Bernies II

[pbhalerao]

Sorry Ironballs, but those don't count.

I like 'em just fine (haven't seen ep III yet, I'm going tomorrow morning!)

I second that. I don't think that people genuinely hate Star Wars - just that many think that some of them (esp EP 1/2) could have been handled better.

[Grimey]

I liked Lost in Translation, even though no one else seems to .

[AlecWest]

I liked Lost in Translation, even though no one else seems to.

I haven't seen that film yet ... but another Bill Murray movie, "The Razor's Edge," was panned by both critics and the box-office. I loved that film. Another film I loved that critic Leonard Maltin panned as "sophomoric" is one of my favorites - "The Hollywood Knights."

[CuCuy]

Over The Top.

[smearbrick1]

Over The Top. :oops:

Don't worry...

I think Sylvester Stallone's "Cobra" is really cool movie.

[VCDHunter]

I don't think that people genuinely hate Star Wars - just that many think that some of them (esp EP 1/2) could have been handled better.

I genuinely hate Eps 1 & 2 and I dislike 3. They would've been handled better by a drunk chimp.

I liked Lost in Translation, even though no one else seems to .

I loved it.

My fav is still Ace Ventura Pet Detective.

[HatchetMan]

Starship Troopers

[lordsmurf]

The Rocketeer (1989?)
The Shadow (1994)
Captain America (1990)
Fantastic Four (1994)

.... lots of those older B-rated superhero films that nobody else seems to like... oh well...

[pbhalerao]

The Godfather Part III.

Of course, 1/2 were better but everyone rubished part 3 a lot.

[Supreme2k]

Daredevil

Hulk
