Ok, so my friend tried getting me hooked on Repo: The Genetic Opera. I got through about five minutes of it. I could not stand it.

So my question is what are some of the movies that you like that your friends and/or relatives despise?

-Vampires Kiss(1989) It is a strange film, and Nic Cage plays a lunatic very well. I really like it. All my friends hate it.

-Doctor Detroit(1983) Showed some friends clips of it, they laughed me out of the room.

-Slacker(1991) Richard Linklater's crowning achievement in my opinion. Shot in Austin, Texas 16mm. Some family members liked Dazed and Confused, so I let them borrow Slacker. They didn't speak to me for a while(because I wasted 2 hours of their life).

Let’s see,

Firefly,
Galaxy Quest.
Planet of the Apes, ( the Heston Movie)

And there are 6,732 others that I just can’t think of now. Give me a minute….

Batman & Robin- to me it's like a big-budget version of the 60's TV show. Only Sonisall & I like it, every other human in this system seems to despise it.

2010- most fans of 2001 seem to blow it off (Okay, it's not perfection like the first), but I like it, in the way that I Like Beneath The Planet of The Apes, even though the first was WAAAAY better.

Uh, what makes you think any of those are hated? One is widely considered a classic, one a successful and well reviewed flick, and the other is, well Firefly.

Now, Chris is onto something.... as I hate Batman & Robin with a fiery passion, as does just about everyone I know.

Me, I'm going to go with Highlander 2 (though I still dislike large chunks of it).

I love the Weekend at Bernie's movies. Most of my friends make fun of me about it.

The whole premise is ridiculous, but it still makes me laugh.

Matrix Reloaded that one wasn't so bad in my opinion. I didn't really care for the cheesy Neo vs. a ton of Smiths fight, but everything else more or less worked.

I'll agree that Revolutions missed the mark by a wide margin.

Now, I hate that with a fiery passion (and I even gave the newer Director's Cut a try- *YUCK*). The ONLY flick I hate more is Matrix: Revulsions.

I actually like both Matrix sequels, myself - though of the two I prefer Revolutions.

I think they committed the sin of not telling the story people wanted to see, but I appreciate that they shot for a much deeper, cerebral plot than 99% of action flicks go for.

Batman & Robin was hi-larious.

Constantine. I don't know if it's so much that people hate it as it is that they hate Keanu Reeves, but I personally really like him. He is great in this movie too, he just needs to not play emotional characters is all...
Also I know a lot of people didn't like it because of the differences between the movie and Hellblazer, the comic it was inspired by. But I still think it is good regardless.
