[Film] Films you LOVE everyone else seems to hate

[DavidinSouthampton]

I know that and that was it's downfall. I have not spoken to a single person in the last 2 years that does not loath it

I watched LaLa land on the tele fairly recently and thoroughly enjoyed it..... and I didn’t think it would’ve my kind of film. I expected it to be more like Mamma Mia, which conversely is a film that everyone seems to love and I thought was the biggest load of old tat I had seen for a long time.

Can we do this the other way round? - films you HATE but everybody else seems to love.


I dislike films in general - hate going to the cinema.

I like Mamma Mia but then I am a big ABBA fan. Mamma Mia here we go again was one of those rare films that was actually better than the first one

Feel free decent topic

I would also add Napolean Dynamite. Not that it is hated but most people don't get it. I thought it was an absolute GEM

I like Napoleon Dynamite quite a lot.

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Really well written and still very funny

I hate Curtis and I hate Hugh Grant. Well apart from Blackadder.

Lolita - Jeremy Irons

You dont mess with the Zohan.
Im not a particularly big Adam Sandler fan but there was something about this that just tickled me.

The Fisher King.
Its not that people hate it but I think they just dont get it.

Sorry, I read title and thought immediately of Fisher king. I love it and have lent it to many many people who have all said its poo.

So two of us love it and that messes the thread up.

Taken and Taken 2 - corny, but classic good beats baddies escapism.

The Mission Impossible movies. I like Tom Cruise.

Batman Begins.

Good call

No country for old men
There will be blood

Uncle S, can i ask whether you have seen, and like, the film Sorcerer? The 70s, William Friedkin one. I only watched it for the first time this morning, probably partly snubbing it for it being a remake of the classic Wages of Fear. Tis a beauty in its own right though, i thought, with the excellent Roy Scheider.

Loved, No Country For Old Men. I’m alone, everyone else seems to hate it.

Eagle vs Shark.

I loved this film. Not so much hated by others but nobody seems to have watched it. I'd also add Sightseers. I nearly turned it off after 15 mins, persevered and absolutely loved it. (also loved No Country for Old Men and Napoleon Dynamite)

Taken and Taken 2 - corny, but classic good beats baddies escapism..

Indeed, even the DREADFUL line in either 1 or 2: “I’ve been taken” can’t detract. I love much maligned Taken 3 as well, arguably even better than the first two, a sort of Jack Reacher action flick.

Loved, No Country For Old Men. I’m alone, everyone else seems to hate it.

Again, far from it, a classic, even though you know how it’s going to go. The book highly recommended too.
