i dont know if you can classify this as a movie, but R Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" DVD. whenever i bust it out to play for people and illustrate its genius, they just look at me all funny-like [/ QUOTE ] I've actually seen Trapped in the Closet at least 20 times by now: truly the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen.

Re: Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good
Revenge. Love that flick. Also while I'm thinking about it, I even liked The Postman. I think Kevin Costner gets way more [censored] than he deserves.

Starship Troopers [/ QUOTE ] If this question was about directors, Verhoeven would get my vote. I think he has a very original aesthetic and should get a lot more credit for that than he does. The casting in Starship Troopers was excellent. He really goes the extra distance to use the looks of the actors to enforce the archetypes. KJS

Re: Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good
this isn't really relevant as i'm pretty sure everyone thinks this movie kicks ass, but i had nowhere else to post it:
i watched to live and die in la last night for the first time in years and it rules.

Re: Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good
Most of my friends hated Mars Attacks and Mystery Men but those types of comedies just crack me up. I also don't know many people who enjoyed From Hell and Open Range like i did.

Re: Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good
This is too current and a really lame choice, but anyone who hasn't seen Rocky Balboa yet is obviously dismissing it out-of-hand when it's easily the second-best in the series.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah this movie is awesome. I've got two that I can think of: BaseKetball and The Good Shepherd. BaseKetball is easily in my top 7 favorite comedies and is ridiculously quotable. The Good Shepherd got crappy reviews and gets huge amounts of hate, but I find it to be well made, well acted and exquisitely tragic. It is on par with The Remains of the Day in my opinion, which is also about a great personal tragedy occurring side by side with a great historical one.

Re: Movies You Like Nobody Believes Are Good

Evan, I have not seen 61* but I don't know anyone who pre-judges it as bad due to its HBO origins. Every review I have ever read of it said it was really good. Besides, Sopranos, Deadwood, the Wire, etc. are all from HBO - not much of a stigma there I'd say. [/ QUOTE ] Like I said, I could easily be wrong about this. However, I think there's a big difference between a movie and a TV show. A made-for-TV TV show is, well, normal. A made-for-TV movie is a whole different entity and I think most people look down upon it.
