Downsizing
The one with tiny Matt Damon. Love is a strong word for it though...

Tango and Cash. Not the best but Stallone and Russell teaming up? We're on fire! We're really cooking now.

I really loved the idea, but the movie was so disappointing...they could have done so much more with the premise

For the longest time that film held my personal title of "Worst film I've ever seen".
It's three different films shoved together.
A sci-fi comedy, a hard hitting drama, and a conversation about the environment.
Any of those films individually could have worked, but together was just a mess.
I'm surprised, but glad, that at least someone liked it.

Eye of the Beholder, universally panned by critics and audiences. Some additional context. In my circle of friends I'm kind of a film guy. I have a reputation for good recommendations. Not a single person I've shown the movie to enjoyed it. I stopped recommending it many years ago.

Merry fucking Christmas daddy.

Oh God, that movie very much disappointed me.

Empire Records. 35% on Rotten Tomatoes.
This came out in ‘95, the year I turned 21, and it entered my developing adult brain and has never left. Fuck guilty pleasure, just a pleasure.
Empire Records is a beloved cult classic. Sorry, but a bad rotten tomatoes score does not necessarily qualify a film for this thread.

"Like" would be overstating it, but I'm OK with the Star Wars prequels. The first one had to be mostly world building with a plot tacked on. And the other two had to serve as connecting tissue between prequels and the classics.
Yes, they're bad. But the sucktitude is understandable.
An entire generation loves those films.

Happy Rex Manning day!

I know it's got good ratings and is generally liked, but when it came out I loved Inception and nobody around me liked it. I was the only one that got it the first time. I was explaining it to everybody and they were just like, it was a neat concept. They didn't get it.

This was Mad Max Fury Road. Went to see it in my own, then enthusiastically dragged all my friends along ... nobody else enjoyed it in my friend circle

I think ep3 is actually good

Wizards 1977
I love the cheap rotoscoped WW2 footage. I love the animation (and the backgrounds!). I like the plot, and I disagree with people who think it's dumb that Blackwolf's secret weapon for organizing the armies of evil is literal fascist propaganda. I love the scene where all the fairy armies get wrecked in trench warfare.
I also love the ending:
::: spoiler spoiler
Instead of getting into a big magical fight with Blackheart, Avatar just fucking shoots him before he's ready.

Moulin Rouge I guess? I understand there's some sort of backlash to it being unabashedly noisy, tacky and twee, but the way it does those things makes me love it.
️The music!! So iconic!!!

As a kid Bulletproof Monk was such a cool movie. It’s cheesy now, but has its quirks.

Honestly so confused by the reaction to Thor The Dark World. It felt like everyone loved Ragnarok, so they did the exact same thing again, and suddenly it was too jokey?

You mean Love & Thunder? That was the 4th one.

Ghostbusters 2016 - It's my favorite Ghostbusters movie by far, feels like it was made specifically for me
