I thought Eyes Wide Shut was fabulous (I saw it unedited in Japan).
I also love Last Action Hero and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Not a big fan of American History X.
I dislike The Usual Suspects and Saving Private Ryan.
The English Patient is the most boring movie ever made.

Jack Ruby

Well it's not realy an opinion, but I'm 18 and I've never seen a Star Wars movie, and when I mention that everyone looks at me like I'm a horrible penile disease or something.

Booyah, I'm famous. I realize after that most people won't give a shit what I say but hey, whatever, I'll add my 2 cents.

Blade Runner sucked.
Terminator 3 was ok, but no where near great.
I liked Reign of Fire.
I liked the Mario Brothers movie.
Bend it like Beckham and My Big Fat Greek Wedding were stupid. I watched them and went "Haven't I see that before? And didn't it suck then too?"
Kill Bill was watchable as a pointless action movie, but it was no where near even close to being anything resembling a "masterpeice" which so many have called it.
I don't see what the big deal is about the Lord of the Rings. The first one was mind numblingly boring at many parts of it. The second didn't seem to have much to it, but at least it wasn't quite so boring.
I liked Joe Dirt and Dickie Roberts.
I hate Dumb and Dumber (yes, the first one), and both Ace Venturas.
I liked Josie and the Pussycats.
I can't stand Anime
I wonder how many people have bothered to read this far.
There's many more I'm sure but I can't think of them and I'll just go ahead and stop now. Have a safe trip home, always honk for the gremlins before going over a cattle guard.

Edit: Ooh, thought of another one. Batman Forever is my favorite of the series.

JusticeForPhat:

I know how that feels..i knew it too. Same thing with "The Others"

Chit-chatting with new aquaintances, at parties and so on, i often manage to elaborate on the virtues of the Jim Carrey movie "Dumb and Dumber". Not as a comedy, but as a deep and enlightening experience that will benefit young and old...

ShaniFaye

I hated all the Porky's movies and the American Pie movies

The one I get made fun of the most for loving is Beastmaster

I think you misread the title of this thread. With the exception of Sugar and Spice, I think a lot of people can agree with several things you said.

I agree totally with CSflim. If I am really bored on a Saturday, and nothing is on tv, I will pop in one of the original trilogy tapes, and take a really great nap. I swear I have not made it through in one sitting ever without dozing off.

Speed_Gibson

Have never seen even the trailer for those first three, but I did enjoy both Blade and the last sequel quite a bit.

truly an atrocious adaptation of a classic novel that almost ranks up there with The Running Man on the "fucked up movies that threw away all of the good source material to start with" list.

I thought that the film 8 mile was really dissapointing.

The Usual Suspects, Seven, and the back to the future films are cool!

Spinach_Indeed

I hate "A Beautiful Mind" with a sheer, unrelenting passion. It was just overplayed till the point of physical pain. I liked "Josie and the Pussycats" simply for Alan Cummings. I love Alan Cummings.

Also, I'm not sure how many people dislike the film "Willard", but judging from reviews, it was not well liked. I loved it. I bought the Dvd, and even if the movie had sucked.. seeing Crispin Glover roll around in Mice with Women in Lingerie while Lip Syncing a Micheal Jackson cover would make it worth the 17 bucks.

Spider-man is the worst piece of CRAP i've ever seen. I was actually groaning out loud in the theater. EVERYONE i talked to liked it. even the onion gave it a decent review.
Don't get me wrong, the first Batman is one of my favorite movies.
and the CG spiderman looks totally fake.

^dude

I thought that was one of the best bits. It added so much to the film.

MSD

I have no interest in movies made form comic books (except some of the old Batman and Superman stuff, those were decent.) Spiderman, Hulk, new Batman movies, I have no interest at all.

Chucky series: why would anyone want to watch that crap. I rarely turn off a movie, and I couldn't go 5 minutes without changing the channel.

Unusual Likes

Great Expectations - Loved the cast, and the green hue everything was filmed in. Deniro is great.

Eyes Wide Shut - I really enjoy the subtlety of the film. I don't see what was bad about it at all.

Magnolia - I thought this movie was very well done. Most people I talk to hated it.

Titanic - Okay, "liking" it is pushing it, but I didn't think it was all that bad. I saw it before most of the hype though.

Last Action Hero - Are you kidding me? This movie is hilarious!

American Psycho - One of the greatest comedies of the last couple of years. Some people never get over the ability to let themselves laugh at something so dark.

Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions - I enjoyed both movies.

Tremors - Classic.

Hudson Hawk - Relax, it can be fun.

Batman Returns - Maybe its just Michelle Pfieffer in the cat-suit, but I love this movie.

The Thin Red Line - To me, Saving Private Ryan is how WW2 happened, and The Thin Red Line is how you would remember it. I really enjoyed The Thin Red Line.

You've Got Mail - I've seen this plot a thousand times, with the same actors. I love it every time.

A License To Kill - This is one of my favorite James Bond movies. Some people hate me for liking Timothy Dalton as James Bond.

Some Anime - Not all, but some.

Unusual Dislikes

A Beautiful Mind - Decent. But not in my "great" category.

The Fast and The Furious - I want to vomit.

The Sixth Sense - It doesn't take six senses to figure our the ending half way through the movie.

The Patriot - Why is the director of Godzilla and Independence Day doing historical fiction?

Braveheart - If you are going to make such a story up out of a few historical concepts, just make it sci-fi, look how well its done for Costner, Postman, Waterworld.

My Big Fat Greek Failure - I don't remember laughing. I remember being angry and wanting my money back though.

XXX - Vin Diesel is everything wrong with the universe.

The Crow 2 - So bad I skipped Crow 3 and I can no longer watch Crow 1 without crying myself to sleep.

Swordfish - Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Halle Berry's tits - cool. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Well, my greatest apostasy is that I that I think Speiberg isn't too great.

I disliked much of Saving Private Ryan.

Most disturbingly: I love Commando, Breakin I and Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo.

There are more, but in terms of sheer horror, these are my greatest movie crimes...

amonkie

From the people I've talked to claiming the Exorcist was the scariest movie they'd ever seen, I'd beg to differ. I kept bursting out laughing, not hiding under the blanket.

I also agree that the LAST STAR FIGHTER kicked ass, course I haven't seen if for about 10 years so my opinion could have changed
I bought Zoolander just for the gasoline fight
Enjoyed the piss out of dude wheres my car

Believes Braveheart is one of the greatest movies of all time, any male who disagrees should quickly reach down his pants and try to figure out where the hell his balls went...

SOLARIS has to be one of my all-time favourite drinking movies. there is nothing quite like sitting down with a bottle of red wine and popping SOLARIS into the DVD player. if you have a good home theatre setup you'll really appreciate the DVD too. the film/video transfer is outstanding.............and the soundtrack is great to boot.

MAGNOLIA is my favourite film of all time. i even bought a few domains out of appreciation for it:

Lasereth

I love all three Matrix movies, with Reloaded being my favorite.

I think Batman Forever is easily the best of the Batman movies. The first two had atmosphere, but they weren't that great.

Spiderman the movie had way too many flaws. I actually consider it a bad movie.

I hate every Adam Sandler movie. Just because a movie may be funny doesn't mean it's good.

The Ghostbuster movies suck.

Eyes Wide Shut is a damn good movie!

I agree with the Solaris fans...that movie was awesome.

KnifeMissile

It didn't just come from a book, the book it came from was a biography called Wiseguy...

KnifeMissile

He doesn't have everything. He got screwed over by a guy who's about to get away with it. So, he desperately wants to extract his revenge upon him. I didn't find this to be terribly out of character.
Also, I think he was talking about walking away from everything you've got, at a moments notice. He did have his revenge, the girl, and the money and he did walk away from it all when he saw the heat, literally, around the corner...

Rabelais

I saw Howard the Duck in the theaters and loved every minute of it.

No point really... just wanted to share.

Dislikes

Blade Runner puts me to sleep every time I watch it

Kill Bill

Meet the Parents and nearly every Ben Stiller movie.

Likes
Mallrats

Starship Troopers

I would say anime but Ive seen a lot of bad anime to go with all the great anime there is

Reign of Fire, Christian Bale and Matthew McConughay worked great together

People want to flog me for disliking these movies:

Star Wars. All of them. The characters are thin, have no feelings and at the end has just become a way to churn out toys. Not to mention Harrisson Ford.

Kill Bill. I've seen most of the movies Tarantino ripped off. I don't think taht is talent. If you would do that with a book, you'd go to jail for plagiarism.

Titanic. It's just stupid.

Lost in Translation. It was okay, not uberly good. It actually got a little boring.
