Hi Chaps,
To compliment the other thread, what films do you really like that the critics and most other people really don't like?
Cheers

Given i only ever see people slagging it off on here, Drive.
Brotherhood of the Wolf, French Horror/Martial Arts mish-mash, generally panned and declared boring and crap by most of my mates but I love it.
Let me save some time

Adam Sandler films like the waterboy and happy Gilmore...
They are by no means great films but they still get a chuckle out of me.

I don't like anything that's shite
Seriously, Near Dark is the first to spring to mind, Blair Witch too, but I do think it's a good film.

Most (but not all) Jason Statham films.
Demolition Man (it was on the other night, and I still think it's a work of visionary genius).

Commando.
Not sure if it was poorly rated at the time, and I'm not sure if it was intentionally funny but..

Mr Deeds and Happy Gilmore are comic genius.
Quite like Splash as well.

HAppy Gilmore is a classic, I've never heard otherwise TBH.

Adam Sandler is an incredibly annoying cockbag in every film he stars in.

Nah, to be fair, it's two different things. I've enjoyed quite a lot of things that are well made but received poor reviews from critics and/or joe public. Definitely not bad movies, but was just surprised when I checked the ratings after I'd watched it to see it had been slated. Quite a lot of British independent movies seem to suffer on IMDB for for example. Presumably because the international element don't "get it"?

First time I saw Blair Witch Project was on a dodgy DVD before it was in the cinema over here. Watched it with a girlfriend in a dark room and we crapped ourselves. It was so original and damn scary. All the hype blew it out of proportion so I don't think people got it really. Tiny budget, so different from anything else. Anyway, it was great. Haven't watched it aince though.

Dez,

I thought it really worked well, but I only saw it after all the hype.
Wish I'd seen it beforehand.
Anybody catch Monsters when it was on Film4 recently?
Excellent low budget Brit produced sci-fi.
Highly recommended.

Another for a Life Less Ordinary here. Great film, couldn't believe it when I saw it had 6.something on IMDb.

Yeah, I saw it when it came out. Excellent film made on a minuscule budget with impressive special effects produced using little more than a couple of Apple Macs in the directors bedroom.

Demolition man.
