What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

-Killer Klowns From Outer Space (the best movie to watch for laughs; the clowns kick ass).

-Straight Talk (Dolly rocks, period.)

-Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (I don't know why, but a lot of TP fans hate this movie. I love it.)

-Willard (cheesy as hell, but so fun to watch)

-To Wong Foo (Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes in drag!)

-The People Under the Stairs (Wes Craven must've had a bad acid trip when he thought of this one)

-The Man Who Fell To Earth (So weird and stupid that it just grabs you)

-Swamp Thing (I green guy in latex and Adrienne Barbeau's boobies)

-The Tommyknockers (I saw it when I was eight and loved it ever since)

-Children of the Corn (am I the only who gets freaked out by this movie???)

Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

DUDE! I love those movies lol....others don't? haha...

Lets see..my list

-Titanic..(wow..it feels good to finally admit that :laugh: )

-Mannequin (Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall...)

-Cloak and Dagger (80's flick with Henry Thomas and Dabney Coleman)

Lemme think....
 

I didn't particularly care for FWWM, but I've only seen it once and that was a while ago. It was hard to watch Leland/BOB murder Laura. The TV show is my fave of all time tho.

I like To Wong Foo also! It was on TV not too long ago and I watched it.

Stephen King's It - I don't know if lots of people liked it or not. The spider was a let down, but the clown scares the shiz outta me!! I HATE CLOWNS! Also, the fortune cookies...*shudder*

From Justin to Kelly - Dangit, it was cute and I like the music!

Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

I love that movie!

Overboard - Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn "I just.....ate...a bug"

Sweet Dreams - Jessica Lange - great HBO movie about Patsy Cline

Clash of the Titans - Harry Hamlin - the incredible special effects hooked me, lol!

Legend of Billie Jean - Helen & Christian Slater (THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!!!! "Hey Billie Jean, show us your gun! Hey, Billie Jean, you gotta gun?" "Fair is FAIR!")


I'm sure I'll think of more later...

Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

I think an Andrew McCarthy movie qualifies as a "guilty pleasure." "Weekend At Bernie's" all the way!!!!!! :laugh: :nod:

And I? Love Cloak and Dagger. It's one of my favorite children's movies.

I agree with ALL of those!!!!! :nod:

Legend of Billie Jean...I have such good memories of that flick. The Billy Idol soundtrack rocked. My favorite in that movie was Yeardley Smith, the woman that does the voice of Lisa Simpson. She was so damn funny! I almost died when she pulled out the big scissors and cut off her braids. :laugh: When the hell are they gonna release it on DVD?!

Who hates these movies?? These are classics!!

Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

Well I know why you like it, David Bowie has a very memorable scene in it!!

I like the new Lars Von Trier movie, "Dogville" and everyone else I know that's seen it seems to hate it.

Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

:laugh: Not only that, but it was a good movie!

I want to see Dogville. The rumours of it having real sex got me intrigued. :nod: :laugh: His last flick with Bjork was pretty trippy, IMO.

Re: Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

Did you ever see the Dogme film (directed by Von Trier) "The Idiots?" If you haven't seen this movie, you MUST do so post haste. There's a sex scene in the movie, and I heard that Von Trier wanted to hire porn actors so that the two characters would actually be having sex on film!! Of course the real actors refused to do that.

No, there's no "real sex" in Dogville, sorry to disappoint you!:laugh:

Re: Re: Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

Now it's on my list. :laugh:

Ever seen "Caligula"? Hardcore porn with Helen Mirren, John Gielgud, and Malcolm McDowell. I rented it when I was writing a paper about that time period and was absolutely stunned by what I saw. It's the dirtiest piece of smut I've ever seen, but I couldn't take my eyes away from it.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

Hardcore porn with that cast of characters? How can I resist? :laugh:

thanks for the nod!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: What movies do you love that everyone else hates?
 

You're welcome and oyu *won't* be disappointed. Not only is it drenched with sex, it's incredibly gory and violent. :laugh:

Here's some info on it:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0080491/

If oyu want the unedited one that I mentioned, you have to get the DVD. :) And I forgot to mnetion that the great Peter O'Toole is in, too!!! :eek:

AMEN!!!!!!
 

ITA!!!!!! Maxwell Caulfield...WAY better looking than John Travolta. Where is that hurling smilie?

I love Legend of Billie Jean too!!

OMG, that movie was unbearable!!! :laugh:

Maxwell Caulfield might be an adonis, but a good singer he ain't. He shall always be Rex Manning to me. :D

Well I could care less about him, but I love Michelle Pfiefer's song Cool Rider and the big group songs, "Reproduction", "Score Tonight" and Back to School".... I'm sorry I just love it! :laugh:

I forgot to add Striking Poses to the list!

I saw that in the theater.
That and The Wiz were probably my worst childhood memories of the cinema...even worse than The Incredible Shrinking Woman or The Raggedy Anne And Andy Movie.:distress: :laugh: :laugh:


- Jake

I love that!
My life is a nightmare that starts at the crack of dawn. My children are the spawn of hell and you are the devil!
I was short...AND fat?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Goldie & Kurt had great on-screen chemistry, IMO.

- Jake

I don't know that everybody hates it, but for years after it first aired I'd catch "Late Movie" repeats of the cheesiest of telemovies, Midnight Offerings (from 1981, if I remember). (Does anybody remember it?)
The blind Little House daughter plays an evil teen witch battling it out with the stereotypically bland good teen witch, played by a daughter from the Walton show. Marion Ross is a psychic. The two witches battle it out in the woodshop classroom. It's mesmerizingly bad.:nod:

- Jake

Aha!

Speaking of off topic, your avatar is cool, but it looks like Stevie's trying to help Lindsey belch.:)

- Jake

Batman & Robin (I liked Mr. Freeze, lol)

The Way We Were

Message in a Bottle

For Love of the Game (Okay, I like Kevin Costner :eek: )

Where The Heart Is

Roller Boogie ( I loved rollerskating)

Wayne's World 1 & 2

Scream 1, 2, & 3

Creepshow

It

And like you mentioned in prior post~ Yes, Jake, I remember with a shudder seeing that Raggedy Ann and Andy Movie and the Wiz in the theatres, I saw first Grease movie, never saw Grease 2 until my younger siblings were watching it on cable. I also remember the time I saw Xanadu in the theatre as well. I like the ELO music and the Tubes parts and the rollerskating as at that point I slept with skates on but what a lame ass story!

Speaking of lame, how's this for a track record?
The first movie I saw with...
...Gene Kelly - Xanadu
...Laurence Olivier - Clash of the Titans
...Bette Davis - Return to Witch Mountain
...Elizabeth taylor - Malice in Wonderland
...Tom Hanks - Bachelor Party

:rolleyes:

- Jake

Condorman!

Does anyone even remember that movie besides me? lol

Yup, I saw Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party.
Another movie that I can't believe I saw in the theatre.


Oh I can think of a few others that I saw and can't believe I did. Victim of the 80"s
Revenge of the Nerds
Police Academy
Porky's

Now we are getting into some bottom feeders here!

OMG I have to see that LOL...with my sick and unhealthy Little House obsession I have often wondered what else some of the stars of that show did....sounds like a real step forward in her career...;)

I forgot a biggie

Ghostbusters II-hahaha...I used to watch this literally every single day when I was in fifth grade...I could talk along with that damn movie...probably still can...I used to drive my sister absolutely nuts and to this day she still can't watch that movie and she never lets me forget how obsessed with it I was....

See it! Her performance actually isn't too bad, considering the material. On the other hand, the Waltons girl could take acting lessons from Pamela Lee.

- Jake

LOL...I always used to get Little House and the Waltons confused when I was a kid...like I though they were the same thing with different people or something...so this movie may be amusing and it may mess with my head at the same time woohoo!!

Now the really trippy movie for me was the recent Little House movie where John Boy played Pa...way too much for me to handle...

To this day I've never seen an episode - or even one scene - of The Waltons.

- Jake

The Great Gatsby...I love the movie and the book. And I'm with you on the Ghostbusters 2 Deeanna :nod:

My boyfriend loves this movie , still goes around the house singing

"Flash......AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-aaaaahhhhhhhh"

I tried to watch in once - alomost peed myself when I heard him say (in that great monotone)

"Flash Gordon, quarterback for the New York Jets!"

Paula

Mars Attacks - Awesome cast, and the whole story is just so funny to me! I love those skeleton frying guns.

Shamus:)

Yeah...
 

Flash Gordon has been a favorite of mine since I saw it the opening night after it's release all those years ago...Plus having Queen do the soundtrack/score was an added bonus.

Brian j.

OMG...I forgot about that movie...I LOVED it...!!! The aliens crack me up!! I saw it with my sister and her husband, who hated it lol...but yep..that's another one that I love...
