Tell me a movie that everyone except you hates


But you enjoy it.

For me, I like a low budget Michael Jackson biopic called 'Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story.'

It's so bad it's good and the music used (which is non-MJ) is pretty good.

The Big Hit (1998). People call it The Big Shit.

Every time I tell people I love it, they tell me how bad it is. I love it. It's stupid but the movie knows it's stupid. Good fun.

Dogtooth (2009)

reply

oh gosh, i have to push back a little on that. it's a divisive movie, for sure, but lots and lots of people love it. i'm one of them!

it has a 3.8/5 rating on letterboxd and a 73 metacritic rating, so i'd say if anything more people who've seen it dig it than dislike it.

reply

Yeah that's fair enough, I understand that. My experience with the movie is the complete opposite of how others I know have viewed it. I remember a few years back, watching it for the first time at a film festival. What had started out as a full auditorium, was down to 5 people when the movie finished, almost everyone had walked out. Even my group of 10 was down to 2 by end. I had not heard of anyone liking it until I came here. There was even a derogatory piece in the local newspaper the next day.

Even now when I recommend, The Lobster or The Favourite or The Killing of a Sacred Deer. When people hear who directed them, frustratingly, turn their noses up because of Dogtooth (Yes, some are that small-minded)
I had almost the same experience with Force Majeure(2014) a year later

absolutely, i can see all that happening.

i think this is one of the cases we can point to where a director has found an audience, & it's not a broad audience necessarily, but it's an enthusiastic one. i definitely wouldn't recommend dogtooth to my mom or my la la land-loving sister, but if i meet a guy who has a taste for the absurd & quirky & things that are a little evil, i would recommend it with alacrity.

I love Dogville, it’s one of my favourites.

Brotherhood of the wolf (2001) , everyone I've recommended this to want me dead , but I love it ! .

How can someone not like this movie? Stylish action, thrilling adventure, and some imaginative production design to name a few pluses.

reply

Indeed. It's an amazing film.

reply

Love that film!

Not hated at all and it’s so good.

Jaws 3
Xanadu
Jason X

Xanadu is a guilty pleasure.

reply

i don't even feel the least bit guilty about loving it. it's bloody great in my books.

reply

Oh, that would be Michael Mann's red-headed stepchild, The Keep (1983).

I mean, yes, it was definitely butchered in the editing room, and the final result can't reasonably be called "good" in any meaningful sense of that word... but I'd still argue there's something weirdly brilliant about that whole glorious mess.

reply

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. I legit like that movie. I think Nuclear Man was cool.
