Most thought the movie SUCKED, you liked it. Name that film.

[Endangered Specie]

Mars Attacks for me.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Funny you should ask

Mr Bean...

[bookman]

2. The Alamo 2004

Badmouthed before it came out.

I thought it was ok. On the subject of the Alamo it may have been the best film made.

[SaveElmer]

14. I agree...I really enjoyed it

Pretty evenly balanced...and Billy Bob was great.

[PDittie]

33. Likewise

I live in Texas and several of my movie buff friends missed it. :shrug:

[tridim]

3. Cabin Boy

I don't care what anyone says, it was a funny movie. Silly yes, but that doesn't make it bad.

[killbotfactory]

82. What's stranger than a talking cupcake?

A talking cupcake that spits tobacco!

[drb]

4. "Purple Hearts"...

...it was all about Cheryl Ladd in her bra!

[donco6]

5. Okay . . .

The Postman.

Flame away.

[Tyler Durden]

7. No flames from ME...

I liked Waterworld, too.

[donco6]

12. Me too!

But I was too afraid to list that one!

[damnraddem]

47. I wanted to like it.

But I found that I couldn't.

[tkulesa]

24. I liked it too.

I even watched it a second time. And I rarely watch more than 1 hour of tv a month. I'm just not a media person.

[damnraddem]

46. Il Postino?

I liked that postman.

But 'The Postman' just wasn't up to the book, so I couldn't really get into it.

[jobycom]

73. The Postman was my pick, too. nt.

[cjbuchanan]

6. The Dream Team

No one likes it but my mother, sister and me.

[Bossy Monkey]

10. Oh I liked it. Also 'Mars Attacks' n/t

[cjbuchanan]

15. My wife loves 'Mars Attacks'

I'm just okay with it.

[GumboYaYa]

8. The English Patient...

most people I know think it is long, slow, and boring. I was captivated the whole time.

[gWbush is Mabus]

9. Brain Candy, Meet the Parents, Shallow Hal

[ACK]

11. Starship Troopers

I thought that movie was funny as hell and so bad it was good kind of way.

_

[donco6]

16. That's one you have to watch twice.

The first time, I was so repulsed by the violence that I almost couldn't take it. But the second time I just started laughing at the preposterous-ness of it all.

Didya see SS Troopers II is coming out?

[ACK]

31. Thought it already did straight to video

Have not brought myself to try it out.

It looks very B-film quality.

_

[Rainbowreflect]

26. I loved that movie & I normally hate violent/gross movies.

But Starship Troopers was incredibly funny.

[SaveElmer]

13. Wyatt Earp...the Kevin Costner version

A little jumbled...but some good acting (including Costner), and the closest to the actual truth!

[Anaxamander]

17. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (nt)

[chelsea0011]

18. Planet of the Apes(remake)

Also, 2010

[veganwitch]

19. Party Monster

the reviewers panned it, i thought it was great. read the book too.

[mn9driver]

20. Dune (deLaurentis version)

[tkulesa]

21. Xanadu

Damn, I'm showing my age.

[Dookus]

22. Eyes Wide Shut

absolutely loved it, but the audience booed.

[Doctor Smith]

23. Showgirls

I like Mars Attacks! too.

[jfxgillis]

27. Stanley Kauffman in TNR loved "Showgirls"

And since he's a GREAT critic, you have have great company.

[chelsea0011]

30. right up there with Valley of the Dolls

as the greatest drek to watch. There is a new "special edition" of Showgirls coming out. now, I need to try to explain to my wife why I want to own this.

[jfxgillis]

25. "Stuart Smalley" had a wonderful denouement

And I've always thought that was why the critics panned it.

[Fear]

28. Mars Attacks, I"M WITH YOU THERE!

[carpediem]

29. Erik the Viking and Ishtar n/t

.

[Pithlet]

67. I liked Eric the Viking

I didn't know that a lot of people didn't like it. I was trying to think of one. Thanks :)

[chelsea0011]

32. "Pennies from Heaven"...Steve Martin version

[PDittie]

34. The people I saw MA with thought it was

the biggest waste of celluloid ever.

I thought it was hilarious, and still do.

[Twillig]

55. Your sig pic!

:thumbsup:

[fudge stripe cookays]

35. Titanic. Now....before you flame me....

I was always a Titanic/shipwreck buff in junior high. I wanted to see a version that wasn't so fake and cheesy like the Hollywood versions of the 50s. I wanted more detail. I wanted the Walter Lord experience.

And I got it! No, I can't stand DeCaprio either, but I enjoyed Kate Winslet. It wove a fake story in with the real wreck to tell an entertaining tale. I could have done without that and just watched the ship and the cinematography.

To anyone who's actually read "A Night to Remember", the precise detail was amazing. That was what I wanted. I got it. Schlock notwithstanding.

This coming from someone who dressed as a Titanic victim for Halloween the year it came out.

[lazarus]

48. I agree

I have the ability to turn off my cynicism mode when I go see a film, if it's done well.

And Titanic was done well. Yeah, the love story was schlocky; so what?

[jobycom]

74. Sold more than any other movie, yet no one liked it. Like "Thriller."

It was a fandamntastic film, and I immediately lose trust in anyone who claims they didn't like it.

[Ishoutandscream]

36. We Built This City on Rock and Roll

Wait, that was a song, wasn't it?

[pocket]

37. Brain Candy & Reign of Fire

[robertpaulsen]

38. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I can't, for the life of me, understand why this movie was so critically reviled. Terry Gilliam created a brilliant visual look for the film as well as a great adaptation of the book. This is one of my favorite Johnny Depp performances, physically he was possessed and it was hysterically funny. I didn't really get Benicio Del Toro's performance at first, but upon repeat viewing I think his might be the best performance in the film. It's just wonderfully impulsive and instinctually in the moment.

But I think more people are coming around to it. And I'm glad Criterion came out with the DVD special edition, though Criterion has put some clunkers in their catalog, maybe they will help give people the opportunity to give this excellent film a second chance.

[clyrc]

96. I laughed and laughed

at this movie in the theater, but I seemed to be the only one. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I definitely enjoyed watching it.

[ceile]

39. Pitch Black

Although I think I'll wait for DVD for The Chronicles of Riddick

[Scurrilous]

93. Pitch Black wasn't bad...

...a pretty decent sci-fi flick. :thumbsup:

[Nikia]

40. Ghost Ship

I saw it the first time in theaters. We went out with another couple and had planned dinner before the movie. Unfortunately there was a long wait at the restaurant so we got to the movie late. We had just missed the opening scene. When the little girl shows us what happened that night, I was seeing it for the first time, unlike people who not missed the opening scene. That made it much better as far building suspense and emotion. They like to make movies with dramatic opening scenes though. I saw it on video later watching the openingscene and did think that it gave everything away.

[ElectroPrincess]

41. Bad Santa Rules!

Billy Bob Thorton was a hoot in this super-B flick!

[Kat45]

42. I loved Bad Santa!

That was such a riot!

[marigold20]

70. Bad Santa and Elf are the perfect Christmas double-feature!

First Elf, then Bad Santa to bring you down from the sugar high. By the way, Bad Santa is coming out on DVD this month! I loved Billy Bob and the kid.

[damnraddem]

43. Many of them, with varying suckers. Among them:

The Wicker Man.

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly.

Marjoe.

The Devils.



But who didn't like Mars Attacks?

[lazarus]

49. good, bad and ugly?

Who thought that was bad? That's consistently rated one of the top westerns of all time.

[Wickerman]

53. Nuttin' wrong with the Wicker Man

nope.

[MrsMatt]

59. I LOVE The Wicker Man

for the sheer crappiness.

Also, "Lair of the White Worm"

[Kat45]

44. Airheads -- I loved that movie.

Also the "Breathless" remake with Richard Gere.

[sasquatch]

87. Lemmy or God?

:evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

88. The Matrix sequel

[Kat45]

89. It's a trick question.

LOL

[Richard D]

45. Brazil

I was in the theater LMAO. Most people around me were speaking in hushed voices about how bad it was. Still one of my favs.

[Lex]

50. Cool Runnings and Tommy Boy. n/t

.

[Endangered Specie]

54. You dead man?

[Lex]

64. ????

Not a man.
Not dead.

But other than that, you are correct.

[Endangered Specie]

71. ummm... Cool runnings...

jamacian accent ("ya dead man")

[Lex]

79. Oh now that you use the accent!

I got it! :)

[TreasonousBastard]

84. Someone hated "Cool Runnings"????

I thought most people liked it. I did.

[lazarus]

51. Blair Witch Project

I thought it was very well done, and very scary.

The difference is that ability to get scared without blood and guts. Too many horror flicks these days are out to horrify, not scare.

[mitchum]

52. "Happiness", "Caligula", "Mandingo"

Okay, "Caligula" and "Mandingo" DID suck, but they sucked GLORIOUSLY.
"Happiness" is the best film of the past several years.

[Kat45]

69. I really liked "Happiness"

But I don't know anyone else who's seen it.

[LowerManhattanite]

56. My Three Choices?...

"The Hudsucker Proxy", "Bongwater" and "The Hulk".

[jobycom]

76. There were people who didn't like Hudsucker Proxy?

Wow.

[NightTrain]

57. Who thought MARS ATTACKS sucked?

My friends and I all loved it!

On the other hand, I thought INDEPENDENCE DAY, which inspired it, sucked! Cliched Hollywood tripe from start to finish.

[Endangered Specie]

60. It god bad bad ratings from the critics...

and most my friends dont like it.

[DontBlameMe]

58. Contact

Every member of my family hated it.

I nearly cried during the credits when it said, simply, "For Carl."

[ForrestGump]

62. I liked it, along with the '90s US "Godzilla" and -- more than either --

The Last Action Hero/

[DrWeird]

61. Solaris

As I was going in a bunch of frumpy middle-aged soccer-moms were coming out and asking for their money back. This not being the crowd you usually find at intellectual sci-fi movies, I guess they heard George Clooney's bare ass was going to be in it and thought that would keep them entertained for two hours.

[Beaverhausen]

63. Down with Love

I'm sorry - I thought it was funny and cute.

Then again I love Ewan MacGregor.

[LowerManhattanite]

65. I loved that movie!

Bought it a day after it came out on DVD. Just a little too "arch" for the critics. The comedy equivalent of "Far From Heaven"—a post-modernist homage. Big, fun, candy-colored flick!

[2bfree]

66. Shining Through.

I know everyone hated it but I've watched it a dozen times!

[Pithlet]

68. Coneheads

based on the SNL skit. Don't laugh!

[Doctor_J]

72. oops

oops. Wrong thread

[jobycom]

75. Messenger, The Postman, and Big Trouble in Little China. I loved

Mars Attacks, too, but I never heard anyone say bad things about it.

Oh yeah, and Brother Bear.

[Mobius]

77. Queen of the Dammed, Independance Day, and The Ghost and the Darkness.

Oh and The Island of Dr Moreau, the second one, with Val Kilmer. I also like Red Planet, Total Recall and dont tell anyone, but... Star Trek 5 shhhhhhhh......;)

[cedahlia]

78. Vanilla Sky

And I don't even like Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, or Cameron Diaz.

I do, however, love every one of Cameron Crowe's movies, and this one was no exception. Jason Lee's being in it helped, too, cause I also adore him.

Overall, I thought it was a very intriguing, well done film. The clerk at the video store actually pleaded with me not to rent it, cause "it is one of the worst movies of all time!!!" apparently. That only made me want to see it more when she said that, and it turned out I was pleasantly surprised, so go figure.

[killbotfactory]

80. Lost Highway

Most people's reactions: "I'm totally confused, it makes no sense, what the hell is happening? THIS SUCKS!"

My reaction: "I'm totally confused, it makes no sense, what the hell is happening? THIS ROCKS!"

[ScreamingMeemie]

81. What Dreams May Come...

I love this movie. I sobbed, I was enthralled. When he stands at his son's funeral and talks about the man his son was never going to become...I get chills just thinking of it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

83. Gigli.

Okay, not really. But I'm slaphappy.

[puerco-bellies]

85. Cabin Boy

"These Pipes are Clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[TreasonousBastard]

86. "Glitter"

So sue me.

[NightTrain]

90. The Omen

I really didn't think it was as bad as the critics said. Truth be told, I also didn't mind "Damien: Omen II" and "The Final Conflict." :shrug:

[Guaranteed]

91. "Eyes Wide Shut"

I don't think most people realized how Kubrick was playing with them in that movie...

There really WAS no conspiracy....like the doctor kept telling Cruise.

Anyway, I thought it was a great movie with a helluva moral to it.

[philosophie_en_rose]

92. Death to Smoochie.

:)

[maddogesq]

94. The Right Stuff.

Most people said it was too long. I love it, because there was sooooo much suttle humor.

"Gus...an astronaut named Gus?

No one calls me by that other name."

[BigMcLargehuge]

95. Spaced Invaders

Love that flick, watch it every halloween!
