What are some?

American Beauty - I hated it and everyone else loved it. To this day, it's the only movie I have ever walked out in at the theater.

The Majestic - I loved it and everyone else hated it. I still can't understand why. I think Roger Ebert and I were the only ones who liked it.

No you're not

I loved that movie! I bought it on DVD the day it came out. But all of my friends hated it. I think they just didn't understand a lot of the references to blacklisting. But I thought it was one of Jim Carrey's best - and Martin Landau, Bob Balaban, David Ogden Stiers, (even Matt Damon!)... there was a great supporting cast in that as well.

I also loved the movie The Village and the critics just butchered it.

Can someone please explain to me what was so great about Gangs of New York? I hated that movie! I nearly walked out on it, it was so bad! Nominated for best picture???? WTF???

You know what, come to think of it, I feel that way about most of Martin Scorsese's movies. The only movie of his I actually enjoyed was The Aviator. Everything else just had a ton of blood and very little plot, but always got great reviews.

I am with you on those two movies. I don't get it either abt Gangs of New York.

I so love The Aviator. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Those damn Ocean movies (Oceans 11, 12, 13, 564894, etc.) WTF is the attraction? Tell me!

George Clooney and Brad Pitt

I personally won't watch them...I love me some George but refuse to watch a remake of a classic Frank, Dean and Sammy movie.

I hate remakes. A remake, very rarely is a good thing in my eyes.

Cactus Jack · 06-23-2008, 08:44 PM

I cant think of many, but there's plenty I love that critics hated

You mean, two negatives equal a positive?

*ClassicPinUp* · 06-23-2008, 08:55 PM

Austin Powers; I don't know what it is about Mike Myers but every time I see him...I wanna smack him around.

The Libertine; Umm, Johnny you know I adore you but WTH!? I wanted my money back for that one!

Lord of the Rings; I thought it would neverrrrr end!

Mr. & Mrs. Smith; I loved this movie! Most of the people I know thought it was "okay."
