Movies you love that nobody else you know likes?
 

I guess what's your ultimate "guilty pleasure" movie, or maybe "secret pleasure"? Movie[s] that you love, can watch over and over again yet you seem to be alone in liking them?

For me, it's Dazed and Confused (1993). I even watched it once with my best friend and she said it was the most pointless movie she'd ever seen, just didn't get the whole aesthetic and vibe of it. Like for me, a huge lover of all-things Americana and muscle cars and what-not, I love it to death, it's perfect. She HATED it. :skull:

Thankfully, she's the one in the minority it seems, a classic movie! :joker:

I love Dazed and Confused

I watched it once 5 years ago

- The Entitled
- The Den
- Grave Encounters
- The Final
- Triangle
- Disturbia
- Time Lapse
- The Loved Ones

Probably more known than I think but I just RARELY see people talking about these IRL. There's also one more really good really unknown one but it's so unknown I totally forgot what it's even called :joker:

Those are all GEM movies btw

Edit: Oh I just realized that this is movies others I know don't like. I completely misread the thread title lmao. Others I know either like these too or just don't know about them. :hehe:

From your list, I've only seen Disturbia and The Loved Ones

Both are fantastic

No that's totally fine! The obscure movies that you like too is the same sort of thing I was getting at. :hehe:

Great isn't it? I usually watch it a few times a year, usually in the Summer time. You know when there's a heatwave and it's too hot to sleep... That or something like Pulp Fiction is my go-to to pass the time!

I like the Scary movie sequels. 2, 3 and 4 don't seem to get as much praise as 1

Haven't seen 5

I need to watch that film again. It was on Film4 when I first watched it, I was bored that night and I think I only watched it because Ben Affleck was in it :laugh:

Glad I decided to watch it. It's such a feel good film. I remember that it put a smile on my face the next day

Indian in the Cupboard

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

5 is awful :skull:

Well you mustn't know your best pal Marc very well then?

Inception

Really? Do people not like that? I love it :love:


hhhmmm Idle Hands (although I suspect some Tibbers would like it)

I don't hate the 3rd Matrix film.

I mean, I don't love it, and I think both the sequels could have been better, but I don't find it as bad / unwatchable as a lot of people seem to. It's still competent sci-fi film. I think the reason it gets so much hate is 1) people struggle to understand the (to be fair, needlessly) convoluted Architect stuff and 2) The first Matrix film showed SO much potential for an ongoing franchise, and the sequels just didn't capitalise on "what might have been".

3 is the best one imo

Everyone hates bird box and I don’t get it? Everything about it worked imo

I enjoyed it though it had a minor jump-the-shark because the idea that anyone could get in a blacked out car and drive to a supermarket using only satnav and proximity sensors is just too much :joker:. They'd have made it less than 50 metres and that's being generous.

Who hates Iron Man 1 Mock? That’s commonly seen as one of the greatest comic book films of all time, and is adored by comic book fans. It’s the film that began the MCU Franchise

Unless you’re mistaken it for iron man 2, am I missing something?

Iron Man 1 is the ONLY good Iron Man film :joker:. I like the character but his best films are the three (no doubt 4) Avengers movies and Civil War.

Oh,

Batman vs Superman

I've talked about this (at length) on here before and it has obvious huge flaws but overall I enjoy the film. I think the action scenes are excellent and I like the overall visual style.

Marthaaaaaaa.

My friends and family find Iron Man 1 boring which I should've clarified tbf.:laugh:

Iron Man 2 & 3 are a bit ropey imo, especially the third.

Well that explains it then. Iron Man 1 is fantastic and one of my favs
