The original version of the Stepford Wives. It was freaky!

White Chicks. I didn't think I'd like it but I ended up rolling.
Very, very outside my normal range of movies, I can say that.

Just name it, I've got a lot on my shelf that it seems only I like

The Last Unicorn :sweat:

I don't know if anybody hates these movies, but they are kinda old for my generation:

Bill Cosby: Himself
The Thin Man (and all its sequals)
Abbot and Costello's "Who's on first?" routine.

All of these are comedies. I find many comedies today either fill with crude humor or just what i call stupid humor. I every now and then will like stupid humor, but rarely and normally only if it involves wordplay. Unfortunately, i laugh a good bit at some crude humor (some of it though is just plain disgusting) but i wish i did not laugh at it.

and many, many "flash movies"

Ã†on Flux!!! Seriously, I thought it was a good movie, but I'm just about the only one...

I never quite understood why so many people hated that movie...I enjoyed it.

Stargate! But i'm a total fan of the TV series, so i had to see it. I don't really know if anyone hates it, it's just that i know only one other person who's seen it.

Postby **Taran** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:45 am

In my family I was the only one that liked the fantastic four movie.

Postby **Danderson** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 9:14 am

Lady in the Water, The Village (baisically anything and everything by M. Night Shymalan), The entire Matrix Trilogy (including last two...yeah, they could've done better story wise, but hey...I thought it still worked)

Postby **RidleyofZebes** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:16 pm

Ones that I've seen and liked, but no one else that I knew liked? Hmm...

A Million to Juan
Rocky and Bullwinkle movie
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

There are more, I just can't think of them.

What's sad is that my family hates anime. (But a lot of my friends at college love it!)

Among my friends, I would say that I'm the only one who enjoys
Mr. Magoo
Johnny English
I have a few nature movies that I love --I know, I'm a nerd.

The Benji movies (Remember Benji?--Oh Heavenly Dog is the best!)
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The Yearling (that one made me cry)
The Cat from Outer Space (made in 1978 by Disney)
And there are probably others. I like obscure old movies. They are amazing!

Postby **the_wolfs_howl** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 1:55 am

Princess Bride (I didn't know that nobody liked it....)
The Chronicles of Riddick (somehow, I thought this came before Pitch Black, so I've seen it and not Pitch Black :dizzy:

)
The New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy: For Love or Mummy (the one other person who knows of this outside my immediate family thought it was incredibly dumb, but I think it's incredibly funny)
Unbreakable (yes! I am now the fourth to like this movie!!)
Lady in the Water (in my opinion, Shyamalan's third-best movie to date)
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (I don't care what anyone says; this is the best Star Wars movie out of the entire series! Everyone complains about Jar-Jar, but I thought he was funny; besides, Episode I has the coolest name and the most awesome lightsaber battle out of the whole saga! *sings "Duel of the Fates"*)
The Wild Child (an incredibly obscure French film about Victor of Aveyron, my favorite story of a feral child)
Spider-Man 3 (I'm tentative to put this on my list; I'm not really sure what people thought of this. I suspect, though, that lots of people wouldn't have liked it, but I actually cried at the end - because it was touching, not because it was such a horrible movie. Yes, it had some extremely stupid moments, but if those were taken out you'd have a pretty good movie, I'd say.)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (lots of people complain about the Harry Potter movies; I'm not sure if they complain about this one or not, but I really enjoyed it)
The Pacifier (I wasn't aware that people didn't like this one; I thought it was simultaneously hilarious and sweet to see Vin Diesel babysitting ^_^)
Feet of Flames (does this count? :sweat:

I actually like it better than Riverdance :bootout:

)

...And I'll bring my list to a close there. There's probably other movies I like that no one else does, but I can't think of them right now.

As for The Secret of NIMH, I enjoyed it, and it is a good bit of traditional animation, but you'll have to forgive me for not liking it that much. I read the book (Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien), and frankly the book is twice as good as the movie. Everything that was wonderful in the movie is there in the book, it adds more to the backstory, and it takes away the Redwall elements that really bugged me about the movie (that "magic" pendant thingy, and the swords and everything).

Postby **Sheenar** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:57 am

I love the Princess Bride!! It's so quotable!

I agree, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH the book is better. I don't like how they made Jenner into a villain in the movie. He's not in the book.

Yes! Another fan!

You know of enough to have a favorite?

Let me see...

Horror: Unrest, The Hamiltons, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later
International: Rana's Wedding, and a whole ton of other movies on Link
Drama: Good Earth, and a movie made with New Zealanders doing really bad New England accents about a spoiled brat on a fishing boat whose name I can't remember.

Sure. Just go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child All the most famous feral children are in there. It's a very sad thing to research, but there's something about Victor that really touches and intrigues me (pssh, no wonder I'm loving my psychology class so much :eyeroll:

).

No.

I'm pretty sure everyone loves The Princess Bride.

Everyone.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Even I don't know why I liked this movie.

Also, Hook, because that movie was completely awesome, and IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes fail at life.

There are no people who dislike the Princess Bride. Only soulless, hollow shells of humanity.

I've found exactly one person (other than my wife and sons) who liked Big Fish. I thought this was a remarkable movie, but it doesn't seem to have had the magic for most that it had for me.

I happen to consider "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" Steve Martin's finest movie. I seem to be alone in that regard.

Postby **GrubbTheFragger** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:04 am

Well unfortunatly Boondock saints is pretty unpopular (by critics not to much by others) But i thought it was one of the best movies i have seen ever. It was great aside from one or two plot points that were O.o and cliched

Make that two. Big Fish is one of my all-time favorite movies, if not my very favorite. XD

I actually liked Epic Movie/Date Movie. They were both pretty funny to me, albeit very rude.

Oglio and the Point. How's that for obscure outdated abstract hippy flicks?
