Movies you love but everybody hates

[MrBene]

We all have that "couple of movies" that you have to watch alone because no one wants to watch it with you because they think it's silly, unfunny, boring, a piece of crap but for some reason we love it and we keep on watching over and over.

Mine:

1) A night at the Roxbury.

I know it's silly, stupid probably not very funny but something about the characters, the plot, makes me laugh everytime I watch it. So when I'm feeling down or bored I watch the DVD. 

2) That thing you do!

Another film (first Tom Hanks film?) that passed without much success and many people that I know think it's boring beyond comprehension. Also, they think the song sucks. What's so fab about it? They ask. I don't know. Maybe the 50/60's vibe, maybe the characters, maybe that it's about some underdogs that become famous for a while. I don't know. It's one of my favorites.

huh. i always thought "that thing you do" was a pretty well recieved movie, and song. i know i liked it, and i thought they did a great job writing a song that sounded catchy, fun, and like a one hit wonder. it worked perfectly.

edit: heck, it still gets caught in my head sometimes, and it's been a long time since i watched that movie.

I really loved this movie called Darkness with Anna Pacquin.

Anytime I see it on I still have to watch it.

And people in the theater complained out loud how much it sucked at the end. Lol. 

[GlitterRose]

I guess for me it's old hokey horror movies like Ghoulies or The Gate. 

I still think they're funny. 

Also, a lot of people didn't like the new Evil Dead, and again, it's a movie I will watch over and over again.

Some people didn't like Cabin in the Woods, and I thought it was awesome.

I really like Gummo, but Spring Breakers was so lame. I met him once. He seemed really nervous for some reason.

The innkeepers. I thought it was a true homage to classic paranormal thrillers, my family wanted to kill me for making them watch it.

Krull - yes it’s hokey, with bad acting but I watch it a few times a year.

Ok...you wanna talk bad...I liked the original Fright Night movie.

It's so hokey 80s and juvenile most people can't stand it.

I guess because it was a vampire movie, I dunno.

Sunshine - Fantastic science-fiction film by Trainspotting's Danny Boyle. Was a major flop at the box office as far as I recall.

End of Days - Arnold Schwarzenegger action outing about the end of the world - currently has a rating of 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Also, The Core - Totally ridiculous premise but I always found it entertaining.

I enjoyed this film when it came out. Might actually have to rewatching it since it's been almost a decade. Better than a lot of the Sci Fi out these days that requires the scientists to make the most ridiculously stupid decisions (think Promethazine and Gravity) in order to move the plot forward.
