Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good

The Big Bounce with Owen Wilson same writer as Get Shorty. It has that same kind of feel but wow did it bomb and get hammered by the critics.

Joe Dirt with David Spade just so many amazing lines. So many quotable lines but I've never seen it get more than 1/2 a star. I think it is on Ebert's or some famous critic's most hated list but [censored] that guy whoever he is.

She's All That with Freddie Prince Jr - this one I'm more ashamed of as it has a lot of things I consistently hate one like inexplicable choreography and cliches but I absolutely love this movie. My favorite chick flick of all time.

Hoodwinked - this movie was not totally hated on but mediocre reviews at best. I thought the humor was clever an unlike almost any animated movie outside of the Emperor's New Groove which is another addition.

There are so many more but I can't think of them like this.
I Spy great call. I hear that V for Vendetta sentiment a lot from people our age (you're young right).

There is a movie called Heavyweights that is a Disney movie about a fat camp. I'm sure people that have heard of it dismiss it. However, it stars Ben Stiller as the insane camp director, and it is truly hilarious. The funny thing is, the DVD cover doesn't even mention Ben Stiller, so I'm sure a lot of people just totally dismiss the movie.

In many ways, he ended up playing the exact same character in Dodgeball , which people seem to like.

Agreed. Lots of good one-liners in this movie. Also has Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks Movies.

For 61*, I think there is a good amount of people who still haven't seen this movie. Most people who have seen this movie are baseball fans and knew all about it when it was on HBO. Majority of baseball fans, including myself, really liked it.

Sticking to baseball movies, would Major League II qualify?? I like this movie, but majority of my friends hate it. I think most people hate it cause they think its terrible when they compare it to the original Major League.

Gigli is far from great, but the "worst movie ever" hysteria is ridiculous. There's some good stuff there.

28 Days, the one with Sandra Bullock at rehab.

I am pretty sure every movie I like is misunderstood by anyone else who has ever heard of it.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Bloodsport w/ Jean-Claude Van Damme

The Wizard (the movie where a little kid Fred Savage is a viedo game prodigy)

Repo Man (Emilio Estevez as a punk rocker who becomes a Repo Man)

Cabin Boy (actually, the first time I saw this movie, I hated it. But then I watched it again and slapped myself silly for disliking it)

Over the Top (Best arm wrestling movie ever made)

The Kid - G movie made by Disney where Bruce Willis meets himself at age 12, how can this be good? I don't know but it is and it is really good.

A.I. - this is the ultimate everyone hates it. I know one person who doesn't despise it and it's my brother who shares a similar sense of taste. The mother/son dynamic is the most intriguing element but the human/machine question is interesting as well.

this movie falls into the category that i would never ever rent or pay money to see, but i always end up watching it when its on tv. i don't know why either. it's bad. i think the whole mad max in boats and jetski thing is just way too fun.

I honestly could not figure out what the hell this movie was about... it was REALLY bad, but I still enjoyed it.
