I cast "Raise Dead Film"

[Eldorian]

People disliked Fifth Element? Its among the DVD collections of 3 of my friends.... We loved that movie. "Sir, are you classified as human?" "No, I am a meat pop sickle."

Actually, one of my friends said something about how it was hyped up to be like Star Wars, but instead of Epic story, it was Epic Action, and they didn't like it.

Has anyone seen The Cube? I liked that movie, although no one else I met has.

I also really liked the Frighteners, it deserved more press.

I liked the Shadow as well, even though I don't like Alex Baldwin.

Frighteners was awesome, I don't know why it didn't do better critically or commercially. The second I saw a Nazgul in the preview for LOTR I said, "Run Frodo! It's Jake Busey!"

I liked Disney's Atlantis, as long as I'm on the topic of Michael J. Fox-related films that didn't do well. Excellent animation, good action, no singing, funny and multidimensional characters. Ditto for Titan A.E.

And I don't know what it is, it's not even Mel Brooks's 6th best film, but I have to sit and watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights whenever I come across it on Comedy Central. Dave Chappelle rules.

All his movies contain depth and symbology.

"You have a theory to go with that tie?"

I love the Blues Brothers. Almost all of my friends either think it is the stupidest movie ever or just have not seen it.

Last Starfighter is a true classic in my opinion.

I loved the first and third TMNT movies.

Fifth Element is one of those movies that some days I love and other days I'm apathetic about. Not sure why, either.

Six String Samurai is another great movie that I love to watch.

Granted I'm one of these types who enjoy most everything I see to some degree or other.

EDIT:
Oh yeah I thought I would throw my vote in for having enjoyed The D&D movie.

A movie I think is great, and no one else I know who has seen it even liked it, was "The Cell." One co-worker even thinks I'm "disturbed" because I think it is a great movie.

I got a similar reaction from people over "Natural Born Killers." I think it's a great black comedy and social satire, everyone I know hated it and thinks I'm disturbed for thinking it's a great movie.

I also liked "Howard the Duck." I write movie reviews for the newspaper I work for, and I gave it a favorable review. A local radio DJ gave me crap about it on his show. He still does to this day -- not on his show, but whenever we bump into each other in public. He rates it as one of the five worst movies he's ever seen. But he's the one obssessing about it, and always bringing it up. I just think it was entertaining.

I would have to agree that Howard the Duck was a fun movie and never quite understood why it was considered so bad.

Yes, I saw Cube and loved it. The sequal though is crap. Cube2:HyperCube takes everything that makes the original movie good and ignores it. I guess it is worth a watch if you have already seen the first Cube though otherwise I would just suggest to skip it.

I also own up to liking the D&D movie. I fully agree that it was crap, but I still liked it.

The problem I had with the movie The Cell was that everytime the movie would get good they would cut away and go to something else. Every time!

I like many of the films mentioned, especially including Big Trouoble in LIttle China, Mystery Men, The Frighteners, and Adventures in Babysitting, all of which were barely seen or poorly reviewed. I'm also a big fan of The Fifth Element and The Blues Brothers, but they were both seen very widely and received reasonable or good reviews.

No one has yet mentioned Night of the Comet. Cheesy mid-80's zombie end-of-the-world comedy fun.

Nightbreed -- 'cuz who hasn't wished they could tunr into a monster at some point?

 

[LightPhoenix]

I am shocked shocked SHOCKED no one's mentioned Fifth Element yet. I cannot for the life of me comprehend why so many people hate this movie. I thought it was very imaginative, if simplistic story-wise. And I'm a sucker for Gary Oldman in villain roles.

I just wasn't aware it was on a "hated" list - most everyone I've talked to loves the movie, especially Gary Oldman.
