    Lake Placid and Anaconda...


    Both equally horrible movies... with little to no redeeming qualities... yet I can never turn them off!

    I LOVE both of those movies. I adore Betty White in Lake Placid!

    My movies that everyone hates that I actually like is Big Fish and The Lake House.

    Pure Country.

    Yes, I'm a Texas girl. Loved that movie as a kid, now I'm a Walk the Line fan, which seems to be more widely accepted.

    WOW... I love most of the movies that were named.. The Big Lebowski is one of my faves.. love Boondock Saints.. What Dreams may come is beautiful... I also really like Moulin Rouge.. Seredipity.. The Other Guys... all that.

    Mine that I love that others are kinda Meh about are

    Better Off Dead
    Super Troopers
    I Could Never Be Your Woman
    Save the Last Dance
    Saved
    Mallrats

    there are probably others..

    yeah, we all have our own taste.. but most of them I've read so far don't seem bad.

    You know people who are "meh" about Better Off Dead and Mallrats??? Cult classics! I don't know anyone who doesn't love them!

    The Big Lebowski - either you get it or you don't

    Wait, who doesn't love The Big Lebowski? Seriously?

    I also loved Eternal Sunshine...great film.

    Lots of people liked this movie, but I'm not sure many would rank it in their Top 3 Best Films: Magnolia.

    LOVE IT! Ther Dude abides.

    All About Steve

    Sandra Bullock was absolutely freaking adorable in this movie and played the quirky nerdy obsessive girl so well. I hated that she got panned for playing it. Very cute movie.

    I love anything by Monty Python - a lot of people don't...
    ...and Mel Brooks is awesome - some find him stupid.

    Mel Broroks is brilliant. I know a few who don't like him, but he's mostly loved, I think.

    I love MP, but I have to admit the movies aren't as good as The Flying Circus. Still, though, pretty darned great.

    Dogma.

    Absolutely amazing film.

    For some reason, religious people tend not to like. No idea why...

    Never Been Kissed and Willow

    Willow! Another favorite. I hadn't watched it in years and I got it for my daughter a few years ago for Christmas because I thought it would be something she would like (she'd never seen it). We watched it together and I was reminded how very much I just love, love, love it.

    I also quite like the Star Wars episodes I-III. Not as great as the originals, but I enjoyed them a lot.

    Ace Ventura, Pet Detective
    Kung Fu Hustle
    Paint Your Wagon

    Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (the first one) is definitely in my top 3 favourite movies. My sister loves it too. She and I quote lines from it on a regular basis and everyone else looks at us like we're crazy. The second one was a lot of re-hashing the same jokes but the Monolpoly guy scene is probably my favourite movie scene of all time!

    My movies that everyone hates that I actually like is Big Fish and The Lake House.

    Salamanda, I get it...I totally do. Big Fish was an amazing movie! And despite it's completely unbelievable premise, The Lake House just had so much sweet chemistry b/t Sandra and Keanu that you can't not love it!

    Harold and Maude. One of my all-time favorites. I don't know if people hate it or not, I just don't know anyone else that's seen it (except the other weirdos that went to the cult midnight shows in DC back in the 70s.)

    The Losers.

    Weak plot, mediocre writing, and less than spectacular special effects...yet somehow it kept me engaged. The performances pulled it off.

    I feel like I've been living under a rock. I haven't heard of any of these movies. My movie is Half Baked. I can watch it over and over and over again.

    There's so many that people have listed that I find hard to believe that people hate.

    Pootie Tang on the other hand.... I find it brilliantly hilarious, but sometimes think I'm the only one.

    Also "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" used to be the same way, but I have turned a few people on to that one.

    Across the Universe. Most Beatles fans hated it but I think they did a great job with the music and good choice of actors.

    Loved Across The Universe. My husband hated it! I have a thing for musicals. I think it stems from watching Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movie with my grandmother when I was little. Love anything with Vin Diesel:love: And one of my favorites movies of all time is a little known flick called 'Shag". It stars Bridget Fonda, Phoebe Cates and Annabeth Gish. It may have something to do with being from the South, who knows:laugh:
