Default Movies you like that everyone hated (or didn't care for)

Suggested in the other thread, I think it's a good idea.

There were many times when I enjoyed a film only to look up the reviews and find the audience had ripped it apart.

What movies had you drinking the forbidden kool-aid?

The third one was unnecessary, but the first two were pretty good for what they were. One day the mighty nation of Iceland will challenge us for Ice Hockey supremacy, and these movies will give us a road map on how to overcome them. Although the triple deak sucked, I dunno what the hype in the movie was all about.

Don't think I've ever seen the 3rd one, or at least I don't remember it.

Not great movies by any stretch but how could anyone dislike them?

Triple deke was weak though

For me The Beach. I know it's bad, but I like it.

Definitely a lot of my childhood movies.

But more recently, Hot Rod. 39% critic score, fares a bit better with the audience but I consider it one of my favourite goofy comedies.

Do people hate these movies? People at work bug me nonstop when I quote them. And I don't even like Tom Cruise.

Starship Troopers.

Although I think over all these years the true genius of the film has come to light and more people are on board with it.

Aside from loving every single Tom Cruise movie, my two are probably:

Speed Racer

Jaws 4

Jaws 4 is seriously one of my favourite movies. It's easily my favourite of the Jaws series.

The best thing to come from Jaws 4 was this quote from Michael Caine:

“I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

Brady Bunch movie. A lot of sexual innuendo in it that cracked me up.

+1 for Mighty Ducks. Watched the first and D2 over the last few days. The first one is a heart warming tale of teamwork. For extra fun try the Mighty Ducks drinking game! For every laser sound, a drink. For every "Bombay", a drink. Every time they quack, you chug until they're done.

Man of Steel
Hot Rod
Nacho Libre
Harry Potter (a lot of hate for it recently it seems)
I'm sure theres many more.
