Movies you like but others don't

[Brian]

Ever like a movie that most people didn't like? I've seen movies that fit this category. Like Batman Forever. People are saying that Joel Schumacher ruined that Batman franchise. The film Batman Forever didn't get a lot of good reviews, at least at the IMDB. I have always liked this movie. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was in 4th or 5th grade and I enjoyed it a lot. Almost ten years later my opinion hasn't changed. I think they should release this film uncut on DVD but that's just my opinion. I've never seen Batman and Robin so I can't pass judgment onto that. I heard it was bad, though but I should see the movie for myself before I say so myself.

I really liked Fargo. It's one of my favorites but a lot of people I know thought it was stupid.

I didn't think of that. I remember seeing that when it was in theaters and I really liked it. I still like it even today.

I like it too....now you have to find another one lol

I love Houseboat...this old movie with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. Great movie, but everyone thinks it's boring.

[M82A1]

Hearts in Atlantis
Caddyshack
The Postman
Ice Age

I can't think of any more right now.

Those two films are generally liked. Caddy Shack is generally considered a comedy classic.

Waterworld is considered one of the biggest bombs in movie history. If there's a list of movie bombs, Waterworld is on it.

Dances With Wolves won 3 Academy Awards and was a success with both viewers and critics.

Titanic won 5 Academy Awards, and unless the record has been recently broken, holds the honor of making the most money at the box office ever.

I didn't care too much for Waterworld, but I loved Dances With Wolves and Titanic.

One movie I was wild over was, Unfaithful, with Richard Gere and Diane Lane. It was a mild success, but it didn't go through the roof.

I love that movie! People who think it's boring need to learn to appreciate old movies.

Both Problem Child movies that John Ritter was in -- nobody in my family likes em, but I do. Go figure.

Oh yeah, I think I might have mentioned it too but Car 54, Where Are You? (the 1994 movie version) That movie was a flop, but I wuv it. And Exit to Eden. :mrt:

I love that movie Unfaithful, but didn't even hear of it until it came on the movie channels, so I'm assuming it wasn't a big hit at the theaters. I loved it. :)

Unfaithful wasn't heavily promoted, but I still managed to see it three times at the theater.
I have the DVD and have watched it four more times. I have the movie soundtrack as well. Yeah, love that flick. :)

Proof of Life
Super Troopers
Top Secret

Sgt Pepper's Loney Hearts Club Band The Movie that came out in 1978 and starred Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees, considered to be one of the WORST movies ever made, and I love it, especially the music...I love the movie's version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; truly a turkey of a cheesy movie that has the Disco Era written all over it....But I remember watching the movie as a child and til this day...I still enjoy it....

I really enjoyed Proof of Life. I recall speculation that audiences were so turned off by Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe's affair, resulting in the breakup of her marriage, that the movie wasn't taken seriously.
I personally don't buy into that theory, but I vividly recall that buzz. I thought the movie was fantastic.

Point Break? Is that the surfer robber one....Gary Busey....Presidents' masks to rob banks? Am I nuts?

Don't answer that last question. ;)

Oh man...I think I could get kicked off the boards for saying this, but I actually like "Gigli." *ducks*

LOL
I ordered Gigli from Netflix. I'll get it next week. I've liked movies that others hated, such as The Postman and Glitter, to name a few. I've also hated movies that were critically acclaimed.

Roger Ebert gave Gigli 2.5 stars out of 4, and had a few good things to say about it.

I'll know next week.

[Shmoo]

Crossroads....i feel ashamed:(hehe

[Mr. Stefani]

Another one is The Yards. Maybe because it has Charlize Theron in it..I don't know why, but I really like it.

[Cactus Jack]

Cat in the Hat LOL, but I like The Grinch better though

if I recall correctly, Diane Lane got a Best Actress nomination for it. I remember it getting promotion, but it was more or less a moderate hit, not a blockbuster

Yes, I was thrilled when she got the nomination. Diane Lane has been making movies since she was a young teen, and she's finally made the A-List of actresses.
I think Nicole Kidman did a superb job in The Hours, but I was rooting for Diane. She carried Unfaithful, while The Hours was a trilogy.
I know it's quality over quantity. Anthony Hopkins was onscreen for minutes (forget how many), and he nabbed the Oscar for The Silence of The Lambs.
I think Unfaithful should have been a bigger hit, along the lines of Jagged Edge or Fatal Attraction. I don't even think it broke 50 million at the Box Office.
