Ever see that one movie that you know you should hate, but absolutely love? Everyone has that one movie, or two, that they can't help but be entertained by. For me, it's EuroTrip, that movie about teens traveling across Europe and getting into all kinds of shenanigans. What about you guys, what movies do you like that everyone else hates?
I get a lot of flack for liking the Spirit and Buckaroo Banzai. Not the best movies in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but they are a lot of fun to me.
I think that Scott Pilgrim might be that movie for me. I loved it the first time I saw it, but I don't think I know anyone else who even liked it slightly.
I'm a big fan of many, many movies that other people hate so i'll just say the most recent one I saw. Undead. It has zombies AND aliens. What more could i want?
..and I agree too, I really enjoyed Speed Racer and Cloverfield :)
I agree they maybe should have kept the Cloverfield monster a bit more elusive but I loved the execution in terms of film-making and also the viral marketing that went along with it.
Punisher War Zone. I went and saw that with 2 friends at a late night thursday show. The theater was empty, which made it easier for us to laugh at/mimic the terrible acting and cheesy one liners laden in that film. If you haven't seen it, please get drunk with your best friends and enjoy. Its the best bad movie I've seen to date.
wait the 30 days of night movie was supposed to be bad? i didnt see it but thought it was supposed to be good, oh well, and for me it would be The Crazies, X-men 3, and GI Joe. at first i thought everyone was going to like X-men 3, then i heard all the negative comments.
There are a lot of crappy movies that I like, but not in a guilty pleasure kind of way. I like them because they're so bad. Some of my favorites would have to be The Room, Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire's Kiss and that one five-minute segment of Deadfall (anyone who's seen the movie will know what I'm talking about).
I agree with The Room, it was so aweful yet so fun to watch in a group. It's probably the only bad-in-everyway movie I've ever recommend someone to go see.
I'll offer up the counterpoint to this thread with an anecdote.
The Neverending Story is one of those movies that is filled with nostalgia and awesomeness and whenever its on tv, its hard to find a reason to not watch it.
But several years ago (2001, maybe 2002) I had the opportunity to see it at a midnight showing here in Dallas and let me tell you, that movie is dumb as hell. Something about seeing it on a big screen with an auditorium full of adults, hearing those terrible lines about saving apples for later and luck dragons really makes you aware of how thin the line is that separates that movie from some of the worst things ever made.
For me I would say Daredevil, Hollywood Homicide and *cough* Eragon. I don't pay too much attention to critics. I also really liked Sucker Punch which got sucky reviews as well.
