I always try to take it for what it is supposed to be entertainment, I try not to take movie watching so seriously.

But if it's supposed to entertain and it doesn't, then what? I like movies and books that entertain me. I don't like the ones that don't.

And just because the masses love something doesn't make it good.

Maybe not to you or me but a lot of people enjoy these movies/books. Just my opinion.
If something doesn't entertain me I just don't watch it or read it again. I usually will finish a book or movie because sometimes there are just parts that are bad, other times the whole thing is bad. Anyway these are just my thoughts.
Someone should start a topic on movies everyone Likes/Loves!

The Transporter - I actually was heckling that movie in the theater.
Trainspotting - That toilet part is the scariest thing I've ever seen in a movie
The Patriot - Ugh who writes this crap!
Starship Troopers - The whole premise of the movie is daft. Supposedly the book is so much better but I haven't read it yet.

Super Bad
Knocked Up
All the American Pie movies

TITANIC :explode: i can't believe it's b-a-a-a-a-a-a-ck! don't need to see it again and in 3D .... blech !!! :sick:

Pulp Fiction
The English Patient
The Twlight Movies - Horrible
Anything with stupid humor - Napolean Dynamite, Nacho Libre', etc!!!

Pretty much anything that has won an oscar....who votes on them....Not normal people

Titanic, Twilight, EVERY Romantic movie!! Except The African Queen.

My favorite romantic movie is The Crow. Butt kicking & Bloodletting. I don't care how bad Immortals was its still better than every romantic movie out there.

I guess it takes a type. Gimme sci fi and action, adventure and fantasy (Just say NO to the Eragon movies.. thats a lousy rip off of Dragonriders of Pern), old samurai flicks in black & white just no lovey dovey stuff...

Forest Gump
Fried Green Tomatos

Some commendable listings here....but by far the worst, most pretentious, "artsy" movie that was nominated for every major awards show.... TREE OF LIFE. Awful! Walked by the same theatre a week after I saw it and they had a sign out front " No refunds for Tree of Life" no other movies....just that god awful acid trip.

Lost in Translation ( it lost my interest in the begining credits)
NYPOLIAN DYNAMITE (WORST WORST WORST EVERRRRR)
Beastly (by far..... no words can explain the stupidity)
The Godfather (all volumes)--( please dont hate, i just cant get into it, maybe one day though)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-- (wtf) lol

Just bc you don't like it doesn't mean its not good. I agree with a lot of choices (twilight esp), but guess what just bc it doesn't entertain you (or us, the majority at this site it seems) does not mean it didn't entertain the teenagers that it was created for.

Kill Bill (I like movies with strong female leads but these movies I just... bleh)

Phantom of the Opera, the 2004 musical version with Gerard Butler. (very big fan of Phantom of the Opera in all its forms, but Webber did a p*ss poor job with casting and basically turned a very dark mystery and story of obsession into a Harlequin Romance novel)

Juno (not funny)

Napoleon Dynamite (exactly what was going on?)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

The Warrior's Way (not a popular movie but this is a movie I abhor. I'm very big into Samurai and their Way of The Sword/Bushido followings and I also know a lot about Shinobi/Ninjas and this movie butchered both then threw everything into the stereotyped Wild West with the last 10 minutes being a fight scene. The rest? Needless garbage and sob stories)

And on another note here's two popular movies I love that everyone else seems to hate or just miss the message:

Black Swan (yes yes I know we had that controversial lesbian scene and Natalie Portman turning into a psycho slut, but to me the whole film was symbolism of balancing the good and evil inside you or, in this case, the White Swan and Black Swan and a pinch of what it feels like to grow up and "free yourself". Plus the soundtrack was gorgeous, I have the final scene's song as my ringtone)

Suckerpunch (again one of those metaphorical movies that twists perspectives at the end but people were expecting tons of short-skirted teens/twenty-somethings shooting guns the whole time. I could sit here and review the whole movie just to point out symbolism but bottom line is, it was a very moving movie with great action scenes and an equally great soundtrack)

"The Hangover" - I laughed more watching "Hot Tub Time Machine," and that was hardly a "classic"
"Superbad" - was SUPER BAD!!

i love the fact that you laughed during Hot Tub!!! lol

Just bc you don't like it doesn't mean its not good. I agree with a lot of choices (twilight esp), but guess what just bc it doesn't entertain you (or us, the majority at this site it seems) does not mean it didn't entertain the teenagers that it was created for.

I have to minorly disagree only because I think films who throw away any solid plot just to have an hour and a half of sex jokes, fart jokes, poor slapstick, and general randomness aren't good whether I watch them or not. To me those feed off teenagers and college students with the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy finding boobs on the internet for the first time or the people that leech around on the cesspool site that is 4chan. But, again that is my opinion and others are bound to say they disagree with it and that's fine. That aside yes you are right, just because you don't like something or abhor it doesn't mean it's automatic trash.
