Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: ooseven on May 05, 2004, 12:43:57 PM: Simple thread... kind of inspired by the Kill Bill thread what with all the mm bashing ;).

Anyway just list the film or films that you liked but no-one else did.

Come on don\'t worry we are not here to judge.

1) Signs....

Love the film

Watching it right now [sp]at the bit where the brother see\'s the video footage of the invader, caught on tape at the mexican\'s kids birthday party...God that still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up... even though its a tall guy in a rubber suit [/sp].

2) Cable Guy

Still makes me laugh ... just a shame it didn\'t do so well at the box office though. the "waterwolrd quote" still makes me LOL.

3) Tomb Raider...

Would say i loved ..would more say its a mindless fun when your half drunk and you don\'t really care about plot.

Post by: THX on May 05, 2004, 01:01:37 PM: Black Mask (Jet Li) - created some weird aura throughout the whole movie, felt like I was in a dream. Not Jet Li\'s best but I like watching it.

The 13th Floor - Same idea as the Matrix but never gained popularity

The Cell - had J.Lo but cool imagery

About Schmidt - I like the every man movie but this just got mediocre ratings (also watch American Splendor, Punch Drunk Love, About a Boy..)

Vanilla Sky - Movie snobs rave over the original Spanish version but I like Cruise\'s version just fine.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Ties with Seven Samurai as my favorite movie of all time. Don\'t ask me why, I don\'t know either.

Post by: Ryu on May 05, 2004, 03:47:01 PM: There\'s a lot to list for me, the biggest that will kill everyone here is in the top spot though --

1. Daredevil

2. Just about any Michael Bay\\Jerry Bruckheimer movie save for Pearl Harbor (I only half like that one).

3. Superman the movie

4. Hellboy

5. The Thomas Crown Affair (2001)

6. Robocop (uncut)

-- I\'ll think of more later.

I always dreamed of living like that... Going to an island, living life with people I know and we each have our own daily task, and once thats done you chill. Also, they smoked a lot.
Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: Evi on May 05, 2004, 08:25:34 PM: The Legend of Zu (the new one). It was never released in America (it was supposed to), so I had to import it from Korea. I think it\'s damn cool...

Dude, I think I saw that on Sci-Fi. They used flamethrowers to kill them right? And they came from wood from South America?
Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: politiepet on May 07, 2004, 02:59:39 AM: yup, it was so horribly made, it was just funny.
Here they are, standing on the side of a river, ants everywhere. But instead of just stepping into the river where the ants can\'t go they use the flamethrower, which eventually runs out, causing them to panic even more! :rolleyes:

or the scene in which they blow up the huge dike with just three sticks of tnt!

Isn\'t that contradicting the thread title?
Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: GigaShadow on May 07, 2004, 09:59:38 AM: Not really considering it only grossed $500,000 in theaters. So no it wasn\'t popular.

*slaps forehead*

Just because it didn\'t do well in theaters doesn\'t mean people didn\'t like it, especially considering the DVD sold well.
Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: Living-In-Clip on May 07, 2004, 10:19:38 AM: Highly popular does not go along with liked.
My two cents, due to the fact it may not be huge hit money wise, due to a limited release.
Title: Films you liked but no-one else did.
Post by: GigaShadow on May 07, 2004, 10:22:15 AM: Considering I saw it in the theatre and not many others did, I would assume no one else liked it and/or had an interest in it. It has more of a cult following in DVD anyway - not like its a mainstream film. So yes my statement would be correct - the public in general did not like/appreciate this film.

Why are you arguing Donnie Darko when you have someone posting Highlander a few posts up ;)

Highlander is the stupidest movie that I actually enjoyed. The movie was like a train wreck of a story line. :p Critics hated it like a cold sore on their wedding day! :p

Is that the movie about those wannabe actors kidnapping some famous woman and making her star in their movie??? If so then that was a good one *shrugs*

As far as girly movies, Id say that a few julia roberts movies were ok: Runaway Bride & Notting Hill, (she was in milk money right? Didnt really like it but i was curious).

Waterworld was decent too.

Black Knight
