Any movies they all said sucked but that you liked?

[Graybeard]

Also known as Guilty Pleasures.

Mine are two oldies. "The V.I.P.s". Sure it's glossy soap opera but it has
Maggie Smith, Margaret Rutherford, Orson Welles and Liz and Dick!

And "The Long, Long Trailer" with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Put down as just Lucy & Desi skits on the big screen I think it's an extremely well done comedy directed by the top notch Vincente Minelli.

More recent would be Terrence Malick's "The Tree Of Life".
Loved it.

1. I've got a soft spot for "Showgirls"

It was deliciously trashy.

[lame54]

57. If Showgirls gives you a 'soft spot" you're not watching it right

[In_The_Wind]

2. Life of Pi

Oh ... at the end ... I like the first memories.

[mockmonkey]

3. I love "The V.I.P.s"

Usually the internets main reason for being is to let people know what you hate. Being negative seems to be more popular.

I've never seen "The Long, Long Trailer" other than bits and pieces. Something always seemed to come up when I was about to watch it.

I like "Titanic", it's a very beautiful looking film. It seems to garner the most hate around here.

I like a lot of small movies most of them are not big award winners they just make me feel good.

Two examples are "Let It Ride" with Richard Dreyfuss and David Johansen about a down on his luck gambler who gets a hot tip and "29th Street" with Danny Aiello and Anthony LaPaglia about New York's first lottery winner.

I can't think of anything more recent.

[lame54]

4. Let It Ride is a missed classic

[jakeXT]

5. I think I liked Postman, it has 9%(ugh) on Rotten Tomatoes

[sharp_stick]

6. Tango and Cash

Stallone and Kurt Russell. It was cheesy and stupid but I really enjoyed it.

[applegrove]

7. I liked "Waterworld".

[fizzgig]

8. that's what i was going to post

love it in all it's badness

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. I did too

I thought it was very ambitious and a concept that just had to be tried, even if it made no scientific sense at times. But then I also loved The Postman.

[riderinthestorm]

16. Yup. agreed nt

[skypilot]

9. A.I.-Artificial Intelligence.

I just really liked it. Even the part that came AFTER the scene where a lot of people think the movie should have ended. Loved it from beginning to end.

[alphafemale]

21. I thought is was beautiful. Spoiler below

That part where she just left the "kid" in the in the worlds was devastating.

[skypilot]

28. I loved (spoiler)...

...their reunion that could only last for one day.

[alphafemale]

31. woods....jeebus

[Spike89]

10. A Boy and His Dog

Written by Harlan Ellison, starring a young Don Johnson and an old Jason Robards, it was a dystrophic post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. It isn't full of great special effects and the story and acting are only mediocre, but the final line makes me laugh deeply every time and reminds me how much I've loved my dogs.

[antiquie]

18. My husband liked the final, too.

I liked the film.

[BlueJazz]

32. Well..Spike...you obviously have good taste.

[Bucky]

11. I LOVED "The Right Stuff"

It got panned for not focusing enough on the astronaut's heroism. But, dammit, PR flacks made this country great. I love how they show great accomplishments are better celebrated because of all the hype. Hype matters, even if it's fluffery. It's possibly the most American movie I've seen.

[Graybeard]

46. "Go punch a hole in the sky."

Last night, on your rec, I watched 'The Right Stuff' again for the first time since it came out thirty years ago.

It beautifully recreated the 50s and 60s. This is America.

[Bertha Venation]

12. The Bonfire of the Vanities

[Bertha Venation]

13. My dad thought Ishtar was the funniest movie he'd ever seen

He had worked for more than a decade in Dubai and other Middle Eastern cities. He said no one liked the movie here because no one got the jokes.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate

The critics all panned it but I'm convinced that some of that was because it was a very subversive anti-capitalist film for its time, debunking the idea of the American Dream. It's long and sometimes tedious but so visually stunning and hard-hitting. I think it's a masterpiece.

[Populist_Prole]

17. 'Clerks'

Yeah it's as low budget as all get-out but the snappy dialog cracks me up.

Also, 'The Jerky Boys Movie'. In the "it's so bad, it's good" sense. A definite guilty pleasure.

[rrneck]

19. Under the Rainbow

It bombed so bad I don't think you can get it on Amazon or Netflix.

[Ron Obvious]

20. Paranormal Activity

Everyone I knew who saw in the theatre said it sucked. But I watched home alone at night, and that's the only way to watch it. Genuinely spooky.

[skypilot]

38. At home and alone...

...at night is exactly how that film should be viewed. I watched it not long after moving into a new apartment where I was still getting used to the occasional odd sound. Spooked the hell out of me.

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

52. That's how I saw "The Blair Witch Project"

I had just moved into a house and my roommate had the DVD, so one night I watched it by myself.
Lots of people seem to hate it but I enjoyed it.

[Taverner]

22. "Heaven's Gate" - if you see the 4-hour version, it is a masterpiece

[edbermac]

51. I liked it too but it did go rather slow.

Great cinematography and production values.

A nice 8 part documentary about HG on youtube:

[Taverner]

53. Cimino should have never editied it twice. Or once.

I got to see the 4 hr version, w/2 intermissions on the big screen in college.

The shots of Big Sky Country are a character themselves.

[edbermac]

56. Saw it in a theater also

And I think they filmed the opening of The Shining out there also.

[Kingofalldems]

23. The Pope Of Greenwich Village

[MerryBlooms]

24. Goonies, Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, The Secret Garden, Mars Attacks, Bonnie and Clyde... so many.

And you are so right- The Long Long Trailer was fab.

[OriginalGeek]

41. wait wut?

everybody loves Goonies! What kind of terrorist told you Goonies sucked? Report them!

For me it's Shakes The Clown. A Bobcat Goldthwaite movie. I love that guy. My family, friends, acquaintances, bank teller and random waitstaff at restaurants all tell me I'm crazy but I don't care. I love Shakes The Clown.

[Major Nikon]

25. Reefer Madness

[arcane1]

26. I liked Ang Lee's "Hulk" movie

[B Calm]

27. Earthworm Tractors with Joe E Brown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VOxusgKKZDw


And I loved the "The Long, Long Trailer"

[steve2470]

29. Towering Inferno ?

I liked it for some reason, been a long time.

[Archae]

30. Cheeseball movies!

Movies you grab some popcorn, shut half your brain off and just enjoy.

Krull
Tron
Both Conan movies with Ah-nold
Masters of the Universe
Battle Beyond the Stars
Star Trek The Motion Picture

Etc...

[mainer]

33. Tremors.

Well, don't know if the critics said it sucked, but I thought it was high-class camp.

[mockmonkey]

35. That's a good one! n/t

[BlueJazz]

34. I actually kinda' liked Battlefield Earth. I know...I know....

[Callmecrazy]

37. So did I

[mysuzuki2]

36. The Lone Ranger.

Any movie with train crashes will get my vote.

[Mopar151]

39. American Grafitti 2

All the old drag race stuff, with the real announcer from "Back in the Day", Steve Evans

A straight to cable "B" movie "Get Crazy", with a bunch of cool cameos, good music - Bobby Sherman and Fabian are Ed Begley Jr's henchmen.

Brother from Another Planet - John Sayles crazy parable - some great lines!

[opiate69]

40. "Death to Smoochy"...

As I recall, it was pretty universally panned, but I found it darkly friggin hilarious..

[OriginalGeek]

42. I especially like

how Jon Stewart periodically pokes fun at himself for being in it. But yeah, I laughed a lot at that one.

[LumosMaxima]

43. "Beavis & Butt-Head Do America" nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

44. The Tree Of Life grows on you

in all its originality and Roger Ebert gave it four stars in one of his latter reviews, going against the grain of many other critics. That's got to be worth giving the film a second chance after a first viewing. And a film that featured one of my favorite pieces of Baroque music, the beautiful Barricades Mysterieuses by Francois Couperin did something right.

[Initech]

45. I just saw the recent flick Pain & Gain and really enjoyed it.

It got sub par reviews from the critics but it was one true story movie that I really liked.

[fadedrose]

47. THE LONE RANGER Best movie I ever saw

Hope it makes it back to the theatres this year...

[pink-o]

48. Memento

My friends all hated it, I thought it was fascinating and kept my interest. Hard for films to walk the line between unpredictable and incomprehensible. I thought Nolan did a bang-up job keeping that balance.

[edbermac]

49. 1941 by Steven Spielberg

Not really a comedy spectacular as advertised but it has some great scenes in it.

[ismnotwasm]

50. Chronicles of Riddick

And Pandarum. In fact just about any sci-Fi movie that everybody hated.

[TheDeputy]

54. Lone Ranger

Loved it.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

55. Howard the Duck

It's the "Citizen Kane" of the Duck-From-Outer-Space genre...

[Auggie]

58. Catwoman

Of course, I have a crush on Halle Berry ...

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

59. Southland Tales

What a glorious mess that movie was.
Most critics hated it, I doubt many people saw it, but I loved it.
