Movies that you like that most people hate

[DukeLaCrosse]

But I'm A Cheerleader
UHF
Body Double
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Toxic Avenger
Class of Nukem High
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Electra Glide in Blue
Stay Tuned
Tank Girl
Battlefield Earth
Postman
Waterworld
Joe Dirt
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Spawn
the Meaning of Life (deserves an Oscar for "Every Sperm is Sacred"!)
Brian of Nazareth
Yellow Submarine (my kid and I sing all the songs at the top of our lungs)

I own copies of all these, and love to watch them over and over.

Love both Bill and Ted movies, same for Wayne's World. If ya don't have fun, why waste time watching a flick?
I still feel that thrill after I watch A.I. ...after all, Blade Runner, my all time favorite movie, was a flop in '82. I like the narrated version best; I read the source book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", and still love to watch the movie 26 years after it came out.
Fuck the critics, quality of production doesn't make a great flick.

nobody hates UHF

I don't know about blade runner either. i'm pretty sure it's considered one of the best sci-fi films of all time.

and there are people that hate monty python? I refuse to believe it.

I'm not sure if people hate Freddy got fingered, but I think it's one of the top comedies.

"What be this UHF?

UHF is the first feature film written by and starring rock parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic. Released in July 1989, the movie featured TV parodies, movie parodies, song parodies, silly sight gags, corny-yet-memorable one-liners, and a hilarious cast, including a pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards.

Unfortunately, UHF failed to catch on in a summer dominated by the first Batman movie. It wasn't until the film showed up on home video and cable that it started to gain an audience that understood and appreciated it. It would be this cult following that would prompt people to chant along with lines when clips are shown at Al's concerts or cause the souped-up 2002 DVD release to become a top-ten best seller long before its release date.

Fifteen years later, people now fondly look upon UHF as an innocent, zany comedy...maybe not in the same regard as Woody Allen's or Albert Brooks's films, but as off-the-wall and as quotable as Airplane! or Blazing Saddles.

Not bad for a fifteen-year-old box-office bomb! "

Lots of people hated it, just took a few years, etc, for people to turn around.
A box office dog is a film people didn't go see...like UHF, Bladerunner was a box-office dog, and only me and a few million perceptive people loved it in '82.
Now, years later, everyone loves UHF and Bladerunner. Same story with the Python flicks...

He learned the facts of life by watching The Facts of Life.

Sure there is, L3ggy!! You're probably too young to remember it, but the movie is what the show was based on. Here's the link on IMDB:

Kristy Swanson played Buffy and the whole cast is basically different from the show. The movie was not that successful, but the show started 5 years later and became well-known.

Summer of Sam.

I always liked Buffy the movie. I didn't like the show because it wasn't a comedy. But I guess the show was how the movie was supposed to be and the studios wanted it to change to the way that it was.

I think as soon as they cast Kristy Swanson in the lead role that's what made the movie what it is. I think the writing and direction just followed. If you look at some of the cast (Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer) of the movie, you're right it seems that the movie was supposed to be a little more dramatic. Pretty good movie, with smart humor, certainly not something I dislike at all.

Medium Cool

Anything with Marianna Hill in it gets one appendage up from me :bowdown:

 

[Philbert]

Buffy...was a cool flick.
Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, Paul Reubens...serious talent in the movie.
The show was a TV show, like the difference between the MASH movie and the MASH series. I never got why the MASH series was such a hit, it was always boring and lame to me.

Any that feature Eddie Murphy.

I don't really know the general consensus on here regarding the Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers, but while most of my friends hate them, I adore them.

Oh and also Condorman with Michael Crawford.

I think over time people started liking it more and it generated more favoritism than just the cult following it started out with, but when it first came out it didn't do that well and most critics slammed it hard.
