What movie everybody else hates but you love?

[uscmhicks]

Now you just reminded me of "A Serious Man." I really liked that one, and couldn't find anybody to agree with me on that. Several people said they turned it off halfway through.

I loved " A Serious Man " , everybody I know hated it after I told them to watch it.

[King Darkness]

Highlander
Legend

 

[Darkmatter]

definitely the burbs with tom hanks.

 

[Darkmatter]

Highlander
Legend

since both are classics, how would you define these as movies everyone else hates?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I know a lot of people think it was simply a bad movie with gigantic leaps in logic, not to mention the changes from the graphic novel. But I thought it was pretty great. The action was intense and fast, the set/character designs and cinematography were great, and I LOVE the scene where they find the record Moriarty left them in the Nautilus with the scene shown like an early movie in B&W slightly sped up with jumps and film distortions.

And King, I LOVE Legend. I remember a behind the scenes show on Nickelodeon hosted by Leonard Nimoy being broadcast at the time of the movie. I was disappointed that the SE DVD didn't come with it. And I'm still torn about what version is better. I grew up with the Tangerine Dream version and seeing Darkness early on, but I can completely see why it would be more dramatic to reveal Darkness later on coming out of the mirror.

Highlander's awesome too! "Why Garfield, cruising for a piece of ass?" My friend and I used to quote it all the time!
(and it was directed by Russel Mulcahy, director of the best Duran Duran videos )

Edited to add: Darkmatter has a point. I think Legend and Highlander have stood the test of time and can be at least considered cult classics!

I ____ing love that movie! So it doesn't count. U gotta post something else.

Classic to a few, utter crap to the masses.

Today ask 50 people at random about either or both films. Most probably wont even know what you're talking about.

Mean Girls was great . . . was it hated? . . I thought it was pretty well received . . Tina Fey was one of the writers . . .

I also love Strangers With Candy . . . and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters . . .

The key word there is cult. They both have a devoted but small fan base. Legend was/is widely panned and Highlander is unknown to most people.

They take it up the butt then. I didnt hate Legend...someone told me I saw the wrong version...but Highlander is awesome.

 

[Darth Cruel]

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - I thought the movie was good. Not great, but good. But what really endeared me to the movie was what it did for my son. I have never seen him get so thoroughly in to or enjoy any other movie as much as he did this one. You would think he was living it as a reality as he was watching it. And it was a rare joy to watch him watch the movie.

 

[Voorhees27]

The only one I can think of right now is Judgement Night.

With several movies including a remake set to release next year and a series that lasted 6 years, although I admit should have only been 5. I don't think it is as unknown as you believe.
