Oh, I know... I love Under seige. A truly dreadful, enjoyable romp. It’s compelling. Simple plot. Bold memorable characters. Tits and Steven segal dancing.what’s not to like?

Agree about In Bruges, not great.

I love Shyamalan's Signs and The Village - everyone seems to find them a bit naff but I won't hear a word against them. Both in my top 10 and I don't care what you think of me!

Everyone loved that ... escapism, fighting.

I think it's hard to think of films that everyone else hates. It seems partly cyclical, partly societal - who you hang around with and their likes and dislikes. Seeing some of the films listed it seems odd to think of them as films that are largely unpopular.
Even some of the films that immediately spring to my mind, are ones that have at some point received a bit of love - Grease 2, Hudson Hawk, Howard the Duck. Three films that were not held in particularly high regard, but in recent years, Mark Kermode has noted a fondness for them and received feedback from listeners who also enjoy them.
I seem to have a thing for musical sequels, musicals in general, really, - Burlesque, phantom of the opera, Blues Brothers 2000, Sister Act 2 (though that was recently included in the wittertainment shortlist of worst films on tv that week, and most people responded saying it shouldn't be in the list). Superhero movies - Batman and Robin (love a bad ice pun, me), spawn, phantom.

I loved the Village too, and thought signs was decent. I have never understood the negativity towards Shyamalan's work. I rate it.
Not an easy topic. I absolutely love Coen Brothers films in general and Big Lebowski in particular, Some of my friends and family also do. Others don't get it. They divide the crowd and that's the best thing about them.
I suppose my best example would be SWAT starring Samuel L Jackson. I love it but I know a lot of people that consider it cheesy as anything.
Generally anything by Disney or Spielburg is shit though*
*only kidding. I meant Ron Howard.

Funnily enough, I've just watched Birdman, best picture Oscar 2015.
Technically impressive, but otherwise rubbish. I mean, I know what they were trying to do, but for me, they failed.

Another in my top 10. Beautiful, funny, thoughtful film. Amazing how people have such different tastes although I can see why people would take against this one.
