A Movie that you love that everybody else hates.

[Sneaklemming]

Across the universe - a must see, and yet no one even noticed it come out; happily though people tend to agree that its a great movie when they see it

 

[dontworryaboutit]

Constantine.

 

[M Silverthorn]

Lucky Number Slevin

I thought it was awesome, but no one I know has ever even heard of it... Despite it having a good deal of great actors and a fun plot.

I liked that one! Had a sort of 'caper' feel to it with a dash of grizzly murders and revenge twists. Man, there were a lot of A-list actors in that one, too...I'd recommend it to anyone.

Ahh...movie I like that not many others do. Back to the Future.

I hate professional movie critics. anything that isnt artsy or innovative is bland, tasteless, garbage.

but: Ghost Rider, Hancock, and 3:10 to Yuma didnt seem to go over that well

Children of Men, I think. Nobody I've met likes it, yet I'm in love with the movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a serious flick which hasn't been corrupted by Hollywood or general idiocy.

Dragonheart, my ultimate cult movie though far from absolute favorite. People harp on things like how good everyone's teeth look despite the time period and forget about suspension of disbelief. Overshadowed by the other big medieval 'Heart' movie despite being vastly superior.

dragonheart was a good movie and i also liked wanted i thought it was a good movie not great but good

 

[Lazarus Long]

I loved The Spirit. I honestly didn't understand why I was the only one laughing maniacally at Sam Jackson's mad scientist samurai Nazi pimp antics.

NO EGG... ON MY FACE!

SLC Punk gets exactly the attention it deserves...

I have two that others don't like, actually: Versus and Falling Down.

Falling Down... I get why others don't like it... but Versus? It's got comedy, kung fu, zombies, gunplay, parodies, and Japanese badasses... it's like an Eastern Evil Dead with martial arts! You're not supposed to take it seriously!

There wasn't a single bad frame in Children of Men. Everybody involved rolled a natural 20.

See, that's what I thought. However, most of my friends think it boring and unimpressive. I don't know why.

I blame the standard run-of-the-mill "explosion orgy" movies that pollute the big screens these days.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I feel that every copy of Ghost Rider should be rounded up and burned.

The 3:10 to Yuma remake, however, was fantastic.

Go with your instinct: Children of Men was excellent.

Not a masterpiece... but not THAT far from a masterpiece. It was leagues better than the majority of things out there; both when it came out and now...

 

[quiet_samurai]

Critters
Quest for Fire
Galaxy Quest

Just to name a few but there are loads more.

 

[Ghostkai]

Starship Troopers. Why? because it doesn't take itself too seriously, and everyone knows it. People expecting a die hard translation of the book, when if they put aside the expectations, its a very entertaining popcorn flick.

What... what is this sensation? Like... my brain... is doing something. This frightens and confuses me.

I thought it was incredible, especially the use of special effects to extend camera takes. I mean, that just blew my mind. It gave it such a cool, real feeling... sigh. Needs a sequel.

Excellent quote, anyway. I agree, though. People want movies to just put everything out in front of them without them having to do anything. It sickens me.

revolver,
every review I read said it was shit,
i think, to be honest, the reviewers were just too imbosilic to understant the soncepts of the movie

 

[Lekonua]

I really liked the Super Mario Bros. movie.

There. I said it.
