What movies do you love that everyone else hates?

[Belial]

People make fun of Van Damme's first two movies, Bloodsport and Kickboxer, but I love 'em. Yes, the 80s music is cheesy. Yes, Van Damme has an incredibly limited range. Yes, both have glaring inaccuracies about what they are supposed to portray - indeed, Bloodsport is something of a vehicle for a renowned martial arts fraud - but I love 'em! Both have plenty of action and great villains :)

"I'm Lin. You Jackson? You look like a Jackson!"
"Very good. But brick not hit back!"
"Legs?!? Dis guy was kicking one of deese with his fucking legs! Until plaster was falling down!"

kung pow, enter the fist. weeeaweeawee

[WildIrish]

I don't know if I "love" it, but I somehow end up watching Johnny Mnemonic every time it comes on. lol

I used to be infamous at my last job for liking movies that the rest of the office hated. So it would be easier to just name a bad movie and I probably like it. Unless it's a chick flick then I probably don't.

ROFL!!! Yes.. I never cringe when the ugly one, after dipping his wrapped hands in glue and then broken glass, lick his fist drawing blood! I am an action movie buff and I love the late 70's and 80's action movies! Chuck Norris, Sly Stalone, Van Damme, to Aaanold.. :)

Thomas Crowne Affair - the remake
Just about any movie that Hugh Grant is in...not because I like Hugh Grant (I don't) but because I love silly sappy funny love flicks

"The Replacements" with Keanu Reeves & Gene Hackman.

gone with the wind

[FallenAngel5]

I really love The Machinist with Christian Bale... everyone else I've talked to didn't like it.

[Oldfart]

The Big Chill

[Irezumi Kiss]

"The Chronicles Of Riddick"

[Lilith]

"That Thing You Do"

[Steph]

I really love The Machinist with Christian Bale... everyone else I've talked to didn't like it.

I liked it, too but it became a bit too much like Donnie Darko at the end.

I really liked "Superstar", the SNL movie. I know we're supposed to hate SNL spinoffs but I love most of them!

"Amercian Psycho"

[Jude30]

I made it 2/3rds of the way through the book. Just couldn't go any further. My roommate read the whole thing. It's a TOUGH read, the roommate would read a page and half then have to put the book down. I have only read one other book that approached American Psycho in how graphically it described it's violence. If you want a book that pushes limits and makes you say out loud "how the fuck could someone write that" pick it up.

The movie wasn't bad. It certainly never made me wonder if I was losing my humanity by watching it like the book did while reading it.

[FallenAngel5]

I really liked both the movie and the book. They both made me cringe at some parts, but I thought it was amazingly written and the movie was well done.

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

"Van Helsing". Yep. It was hyped and the clips they showed before they released it were great. After the first viewing, I wanted to slap Stephen Sommers upside the head. He waffled script and character development for special effects. However, I ended up seeing it 53 times and I have 47 ticket stubs. Just a neat, overblown movie that takes you away and, sometimes, probably laugh in the wrong places. Just enjoy the heck out of it. :loveshowe

P.S. I would LOVE to have the werewolf that Van Helsing turns into. Big, furry and baaad.

[IowaMan]

I was so excited about Van Helsing when I first saw the previews but gotta admit............. I didn't like it. And I really wanted to. :(

[Mae]

IM...agreed.

I don't know if anyone really hated this movie, but I really enjoyed it..."The Whales of August".
