What movies do you love/hate that everyone you know hates/loves?

[Super Dude]

I bet Volk will have a field day with this thread.

Anyway, I've encountered an unfortunate phenomenon in the last year or so: I hate most movies that people rave about, and when I say I love certain movies people tell me I have no taste.  Has anyone else here had that happen on a fairly consistent basis?

For example:
I'm the only person in my immediate family that hates The Other Guys
I LOVE Inception and Tron: Legacy
Both of my brothers love both Transformers movies thus far
Nobody I've ever met IRL understands my burning hatred for Avatar

[Genowyn]

I really hate Bend it Like Beckham but my family likes it.

[Zantera]

I wouldn't say that I "hate" it, but I generally dislike Avatar, something most people seems shocked about.
Yes, it had great looks, but not even great looks can make up for a bad script and poor acting.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I loved the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie.  The one with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees that takes songs from several Beatles albums and builds a story around them.  Most Beatles fans are all "IT SUCKS!  BLASPHEMY!"

Also, most people I know seem to dig Monty Python movies and I absolutely hate them.  Keep anything with the name "Monty Python" on it as far away from me as possible.  I do not find it amusing.

Exactly my complaint, exactly!  But everyone says, "Nooo it doesn't matter it looked amazing lawl."

My wife simply doesn't get my affection for the following films:

SpaceBalls
Blazzing Saddles
Airplane I and II

Blazing Saddles and Airplane 1 excepted, neither do I.

[YtseBitsySpider]

Spaceballs?
Airplane II had some gold in it too...come on Super.

[King Postwhore]

I'm no fan of Pretty Woman.  Seems a ton of people love it.

Man, I love Blazing Saddles. One of my all time favourites. Probably the one movie I've seen the most times, in fact.

[Super Dude]

Spaceballs?

When I was a child, I loved it.  I dunno, it doesn't have the same magic it did for me then.

[Sigz]

I loved the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie.

I know, I've been heckled for it plenty.  I still think it's a cool movie, despite all that.

As a movie it's very sub par but for the music and who's in it, I love watching it.

[Chino]

I loathe The Dark Night.

[Gadough]

I thought the recent Clash of the Titans remake was a great movie, but the critics hated it and none of my friends liked it.

I hated At World's End. No matter how bad On Stranger Tides may turn out to be, it can't be worse than its predecessor.

Also, if a horror movie comes out that gets universally negative reception, that's almost a guarantee that I'll love it. Friday the 13th, The Strangers, The Roommate, etc...I love bad horror movies.

[Perpetual Change]

I LOVE Inception

And that makes you different how...?

I loathe The Dark Night.

As do I. I also think Shutter Island was awesome, while Inception was average.

I also think the Godfather III was really good.

[Sigz]

I thought most people liked Shutter Island...

[The Degenerate]

I thought the recent Clash of the Titans remake was a great movie

WTF

I thought most people liked Shutter Island...

I certainly did. Not as much as The Dark Knight, though.

[Gadough]

Shutter Island was amazing. The audience reaction near the end was priceless.

Gadough get some sleep man!

[reneranucci]

Definitely.

[MykeHavoc]

I hate Star Wars.






There, I said it.

[MetalJunkie]

I wanted this movie to be good. They did like three things in the movie. They rode some scorpions, killed Medusa, and there was an epic battle with the Kraken. Oh, wait, no there wasn't. He flew around for about 20 seconds and whipped out Medusa's head. How exciting.

[juice]

I hate Star Wars.






There, I said it.

In the same vein as Myke's post I'll go ahead and be the first to say that I don't seethe with burning hatred for the Star Wars prequel trilogy the way most seem to.  Yes, of course they are inferior to the originals but I am convinced that for most people in my generation and older that alot of that comes from nostalgia.  I was watching a little of Episode IV on tv this weekend and found just as many cringe worthy moments and lines of dialogue as you'd get in any of the prequels.  I mean really, in the grand scheme of cinema none of the Star Wars movies are amazingly good films.  They're all more or less for kids/families and exist to sell toys and other merch more than anything else, but who cares?  They're fun.  It's just become a part of pop culture these days to vilify the prequels and hold the originals (ESB especially) in some sort of divine standing.  I actually really appreciate the prequels for expanding on the Star Wars universe and kind of opening the gates for other EU type stuff I enjoy like the KOTOR games and Clone Wars animated series.

Not really keen on the original Star Wars. I wouldn't say they're bad, but over time, I've come to realise they're just not my kind of movies. Now that I've given them a few chances, I doubt I'll ever sit down and watch them again.

The first Indiana Jones is one of the worst movies I've ever seen (well, actually, I only got through about half of it). You'd have to be paying me good money or having sex with me to get me to watch any IJ again.

Bad Santa is one of my favourite comedies. Besides the terrible title, this film is gold.

How is that even possible?  Aren't they playing in the delivery room when you're born?

[Gadough]

Concerning Star Wars. I've never seen any of the original trilogy all the way through. I've seen the first half of each movie, but I always get dreadfully bored halfway though and can never finish them.

I actually prefer the prequels over the originals because they can hold my attention. Although, I completely understand why so many people prefer the originals. I just think the prequels are more enjoyable to watch.

inb4 someone quotes Guinea Pig in reference to my post
