Movies you seem to be the only one liking

[Broken Parachute]

What are some movies that you really love but alot of your friends and family hated or found boring?

I know it's an older movie, 1995 I think, but Apollo 13 is one of my favorite movies. Alot of people I talk to (friends and such) hate this movie. What's to hate about it? Ron Howard is a great director and it's definitely one of my favorite movies. I was just watching it again for the first time in like two years last night.

Another is The Terminal. There was a thread about it a few days ago. My friends constantly made fun of how dumb the movie was, but I actually liked it alot. I wouldn't admit it to them because they'd make fun of me to no end..but I liked it.

Wolf Creek is the only one I can remember as of late. I remember people hating that so much, but I loved the realism of it and the mese en scene (That's "setting" for the less-educated folk ;)).

[hobbes2809]

^^^ yeah I was one of those that didnt like wolf creek, but meh who cares

None of my friends like Mad Max, but I enjoy it

[SingleDoubt]

mine would have to be the Butterfly Effect. the only other person i know that likes it is my girlfriend, but thats only cause she's in love with ashton kutcher.

[Broken Parachute]

you didnt say which movie it is..

Oh, haha.. Edited

[SingleDoubt]

Oh, haha.. Edited
that movie was great... i guess some people might have thought it was boring, but i really liked it

[hobbes2809]

apollo 13 is great

[Anton Djamoos]

Reign of Fire

[kirbs84]

I liked both Apollo 13 and The Terminal. For some reason, nobody I know liked the Lemony Snicket movie, but I really enjoyed it.

[Tyler Revolution]

Signs.

[Broken Parachute]

Signs.

Ahh there's another one. Everyone thought it was the worst M. Night Shalyman movie, I thought it was really different. Which made it good.

[Anton Djamoos]

Signs.
I loved Signs.

[Anton Djamoos]

I shall add Punch-Drunk Love. No one else likes that movie...I love it.

[underthetalking]

Fucking loved Apollo 13.

[Tyler Revolution]

I loved Signs.
I enjoy all of his movies. Everyone seemed to hate The Village as well, but I enjoyed it.

[JunkBondTrader]

Cabin Fever, Hostel, The Hills Have Eyes, and Wolf Creek.......basically because horror movies are so hard to please everyone.

For my family......None of them liked Closer, Donnie Darko, or Garden State.....so none of them would probably be very popular on this website.

Mean Creek is another one. And Eyes Wide Shut

[JunkBondTrader]

I enjoy all of his movies. Everyone seemed to hate The Village as well, but I enjoyed it.
fuck yea, everyone hated that movie because of the ending.....but no one realized that that wasnt even waht the movie was about. The social commentary and human emotion in that movie is so fucking good. I loved it. Actually probably my 2nd favorite M. Night film besides Signs.

[DroppedUrPocket]

I shall add Punch-Drunk Love. No one else likes that movie...I love it.
Amazing movie. Reign of Fire...notsomuch.

[lanolynn]

my roommate used to hate royal tenenbaums till i made him watch it like 5 times and he realized it wasn't boring it was just extremely dry humor.

[reductiondesign]

The Stupids.

Yeah, it's horrible. But it's also hysterical.

[waggy]

i love the movie Out of Sight, but i can never get anyone to watch it because j.lo scares them away. hopefully clooney's stock has risen enough for people to overlook that now though.

[CROMagnon]

last of the mohicans

[marbury1414]

Signs.

And my family hated Life Aquatic.

[pjc1190]

i love rules of attraction... very very few people i know like it. i think a lot has to do with the fact that it was advertised wrong... they made it seem like it was another american pie type movie when really it is far from that

[Brownpants06]

Closer. I feel less manly every time I say to someone I enjoy that movie.


(Mostly because Clive Owen is hilarious)

[marbury1414]

I couldn't stand the ending for Rules of Attraction. It had sooooooo much potential and ended with such a cop out.

[marbury1414]

The Stupids.

Yeah, it's horrible. But it's also hysterical.

Haha, I haven't seen that movie in forever. I need to rent it immediately.

[reductiondesign]

Haha, I haven't seen that movie in forever. I need to rent it immediately.

I watched it on Monday. It's so horrible, it's great.

[pjc1190]

I couldn't stand the ending for Rules of Attraction. It had sooooooo much potential and ended with such a cop out.

the book ends in the same manner.

[marbury1414]

the book ends in the same manner.

Doesn't mean it's a good ending though.

[fedhed7]

I think the Village is his greatest movie, and Signs is close behind.

[clevernapkins]

if you don't like apollo 13 then you're probably a terrorist

[marbury1414]

I think the Village is his greatest movie, and Signs is close behind.

I'm gonna make a M. Night thread. His movies need to be discussed.

[reductiondesign]

the book ends in the same manner.

I need to read this.

I LOVE American Psycho. Horrible movie adaptation, though.

[fedhed7]

I'm gonna make a M. Night thread. His movies need to be discussed.
I made one a while ago.

[JHallow]

the aliens movies, none of my friends like them. oh and gremlins! i think my girlfriend likes gremlins but no one else does

[pjc1190]

Doesn't mean it's a good ending though.

i didn't say it did, i was just saying that they were trying to stay consistent with the book.

[Bishop]

Pretty much any movie by Christopher Guest is genius but isn't really appreciated by anyone besides theatre kids or other comedians which is a damn shame.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Beautiful Girls. Everyone I've watched it with has only been lukewarm to this film that I love so much.

[Boring Pop Song]

coming to america, i can't believe most of my friends don't like that movie. classic

[Bishop]

coming to america, i can't believe most of my friends don't like that movie. classic

Haha, that movie is funny as hell.

"Hello Queens!"
"Fuck you!"
"Yes! Fuck you too!"

[preppyak]

I shall add Punch-Drunk Love. No one else likes that movie...I love it.
agreed, awesome fucking movie, but nobody like Adam Sandler in a serious role.

[preppyak]

gremlins! i think my girlfriend likes gremlins but no one else does
that's in my Top 50 movies of all time...how can you not like Gizmo

Oh man, so good. I used to have it on audio cassette too, it would scare the shit out of me as a kid

[preppyak]

last of the mohicans
awesome soundtrack on top of the movie too

i love rules of attraction... very very few people i know like it. i think a lot has to do with the fact that it was advertised wrong... they made it seem like it was another american pie type movie when really it is far from that
I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, but it was pretty good.

Closer. I feel less manly every time I say to someone I enjoy that movie.


(Mostly because Clive Owen is hilarious) Yeah, my one friend criticized it because it wasn't "realistic" enough...I walked away laughing. I mean, they spend the entire movie destroying each other, of course it's a little beyond realistic

Clive Owen fucking dominates everyone in that movie...and it's a damn good cast.

If you liked CLive in that, see Inside Man, he is awesome in that too

[gilatron5000]

Closer is the shit. I personally got all of my friends into that movie. The most popular scene among us is the scene where Jude Law and Clive Owen have cyber sex. Classic.

My answer is Batman Forever. and Resident Evil.

[xearlynovemberx]

big lebowski none of my friends like that movie

[pjc1190]

big lebowski none of my friends like that movie

one friend of mine absolutely loves that movie... i have watched it a couple of times but it rarely gets me to laugh that much.

although, i love when he says "that's a nice marmut you got there" or something to that effect

[Broken Parachute]

big lebowski none of my friends like that movie

It's my dad's favorite movie other than Resevoir Dogs.

[Groogz]

I loved the Village but so many people were dissapointed with it because they were expecting an all-out horror film cuz it was advertised that way, even though M. Night never does that stuff. He does psychological thrillers.

[Anton Djamoos]

The Stupids.

Yeah, it's horrible. But it's also hysterical.
"Someone stole our garbage again!"

[Groogz]

The Stupids.

Yeah, it's horrible. But it's also hysterical.
I have yet to see this but judging from the title, it's probably stupid, haha. I'm sure it's good for a few laughs though.
