Holy shit! I was waiting for the page to load and trying to figure out which movie I'd say and I'll be goddamned if one second after I thought "Freddy Got Fingered" it appeared on the screen.

I'm less embarrassed now. I own it and saw it in the theater when it came out. I was a big Tom Green fan in high school. I'll have to rewatch it to see if I still like it. The scene where he's talking on a cordless phone in the restaurant was hilarious. 3 out of 5 stars (I don't know why I'm giving movies stars all of the sudden).

As much as it embarrasses me to say it, this movie is usually on TV once every, I dunno, six hours. I usually watch it and quote the whole thing.

Josie and the pussycats

This is one of my top 3 favorite movies and almost all of my friends, except for Rob, love it.

Hollywoodland

Love this movie, but everyone I've met who's seen it hates it.
Adrian Brody is amazing in it.

Bringing out the dead
No one hates it, but people refuse to watch it because of nic cage, even though Scorsese + John Goodman negate cage.

Do people hate Hollywoodland? I thought it was a good movie and would watch it again.

There's another movie that was similar to Bringing Out the Dead that came out around the same time. I think it's called Broken Vessels. I get the two confused. I know one consists of EMTs buying crack and other drugs. I liked whichever one has that in it.

Also, don't be ashamed of liking Joe Dirt. I think this thread will contain mostly comedies due to the fact that everyone I know seems to have at least one movie that they find hilarious that others might not.

A non comedy movie that I don't think that others like but I do is Mr Brooks.

well i used to love eraserhead. or i think i did. I saw it a buncha times when i was about 18. i don't know if i was stupid and impressionable because that was required and mandatory for what i thought i wanted to be. but yeah, i really did actually enjoy it. i don't know if i could sit through it nowadays honestly. but i do like that in heaven everything is fine song. it's really quite beautiful.

Eraserhead isn't a movie most people hate.

usually when I mention it people either say they hate it or they saw it and " oh yeah that movies a classic!! david lynch is CRAZY" but you know they wouldn't watch it if it was just them sitting at home alone looking at their stack of DVD's deciding which one to pick for the night.

Cannibal Holocaust

I hate that the animals are hurt but I dunno, the movie is a horror movie and it brought out emotions of fear, terror, disgust, revulsion.. it made me FEEL. that's the point of film.

I remember "The Watch" getting fairly negative reviews, but I dug it. Good mix of sci-fi and comedy, Morris Moss from the IT Crowd was a huge plus for me as well.

I watched Law Abiding Citizen today and thought of this thread. I don't love it but it's a decent movie if you can suspend disbelief.

i agree, its one that the average joe would love when it comes on but then completely forget about five minutes after it was off. completely hyperbole to ridiculous extents that you have to suspend belief or just stop watching. a 52 year old buddy of mine and his wife would always stop and leave it on when i was hangin' at theirs

i know not a single person who doesn't love lost boys. i am not sure there is such a human being out there that doesn't love it.
