Terminator 3 is massively underrated and under appreciated. In some recent years the movie has had a more positive resurgence since actual bad terminator movies were released. Looking at you genisys and dark fate the same would apply to the Star Wars prequels as well since disney released their sequel trilogy.
"Gone with the Wind" is one of the greatest films to watch with an audience, who are with Scarlett all the way via Vivien Leigh's astounding work; it's a richly entertaining experience to see the film with a packed house, but many today shut it down/want it banned, etc. I completely agree with your assessment concerning the strength involved with some characters beyond any stereotype, specifically in the case of Mammy (perfectly played by Hattie McDaniel), who is the one character who consistently puts Scarlett in her place and is on to her every deceptive move throughout the film.
I cannot stand the condescension toward the black characters and how they are portrayed. That young maid is an insult and perpetuates bigotry. I don't think it should be banned but more of a lesson in how awful black people were treated. It should be taught in this way and make sure every generation knows the problems with the movie from a human aspect.
@@hiddensword9387 I wondered when politics would show up in this message thread. Let's open up that flood gate of every historic movie featuring black people coming with a history lesson. How ridiculous.
I was surprised to see GWTW mentioned as a film "that everyone hates", but maybe it’s a US mainstream media thing. I’m from Europe and I’ve never heard anyone say anything remotely negative about that film, which is usually considered an American classic and a true American answer to our own epic tales like Les Misérables or War and Peace. As a matter of fact, it was one of my late mother’s favorite films, she was very invested in Scarlett O’Hara. It saddens me to hear that several cultural and educational institutions seem to consider this film as anathem, these days. If anything, I think it´s a historical treasure to be cherished, but hey, that’s easy for me to say from across the Pond, I guess...
Here's how you know the movie is great. You could take out the whole civil war context (and given the portrayal of black people in the movie, I somehow wish they could), put the same characters in some other historical context and it would stand up. If anything sinks the movie, it's the civil war context and our cringe about how it is portrayed that makes us reject the movie, not the characters.
Not sure why this was ever hated. It expanded the lore and was badass. That's how a sequel should be done. Respect the original and keep the core elements, but change it a bit to keep it fresh.
@@dorianwhitney3862 Because everyone in 1990 wanted Arnold back as Dutch and there were rumors that he was returning. I like Glover and the movie is pretty good, but I get why people at that time were disappointed.
@Bishop Walters That is a fair point. I could see why they would not even want to give it a chance without Arnold. I think most people,once they got past that, finally gave it the recognition it deserves, as a pretty damn good sequel.
@@starwarsroo2448 I don’t know dude. Someone hounded me to watch this lump of filth. I was so pissed at them. I was so uncomfortable and grossed out the entire flick. I don’t watch movies to feel like that or to witness such depravity.
only god forgives is so awesome the more you watch it and get drawn into Vithaya Pansringarm’s brilliant, utterly badass performance!!! his entrance alone is like harry lime meets batman. he’s an unstoppable force, subtle and cool, adding to the overall atmosphere perfectly and effortlessly. gosling and the rest do a nice job filling out the supporting roles to let this true legend emerge and guide your mind through the labyrinth of neon
Reloaded is my favorite in the franchise. I’ve never understood why it catches so much hate. The staircase fight scene and the highway scene are phenomenal as are the dialogue exchanges with the Merovingian. They built a 4 lane highway with overpasses and dividers that’s over a mile long for f#@k sake. Absolute cinematic milestone.
I've watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory many times since I was a child. I still love it to this day and it remains iconic because It has true warmth, a great storyline and Gene Wilder is amazing. Tim Burton's mess is too reliant on CGI and Johnny Depp completely missed the boat with his performance. Gene Wilder hated Tim Burton's adaptation and so do I.
Maybe not “hated” but often ignored, I consider Joe Dante’s “The Howling”, released in 1981, to be the absolute best werewolf movie ever made, tied only with John Landis’s “An American Werewolf In London”, released the same year. Only the opening 15 minutes regarding the pretty reporter (Dee Wallace) helping the police to capture a serial killer is a lesson of suspense and tension.
ooooo, good topic. For me it's "The Hateful Eight." I really enjoyed this movie. There were a few parts I could do without, but it pushes some boundaries for sure. Walton's character had considerable depth, and I like how James Park's character was expounded upon. I've been trying to figure out why people dislike the film so much. Maybe I'm missing something. oooo, I didn't think about using the Matrix soundtrack or score for running background; I may have to try it.
It's the Taratino film I've watched the most since its release. I think Django and Inglorious are better, but I don't watch them nearly as much as Hateful Eight. I go back to it time and time again.
I really like Hateful Eight (especially the extended or director’s cut or whatever the 4hr version is), but it’s not one that I see as great like I do with 3-4 other Tarantino movies just because it feels like he wanted to remake The Thing but set in the post-Civil War west, which he succeeded in doing, but it’s less interesting to me than pretty much anything else he’s done.
I'm a little late to the party (recent subscriber) but figured I'd add my contribution here. Vanilla Sky. Highly transformative movie for me. When I saw it in college like most people I found the movie difficult to follow and understand. I just know I liked the soundtrack. But over the years and after building life experience, I watched this movie a couple years ago during a health crisis. Never has a movie had such a profound impact on my life. It touches on so many themes: the emptiness of riches, coming to grips with mortality, consequences of lust, true love, dealing with suffering, destructiveness of technology, and many more. It helped me appreciate what I have and realize true love is right there in front of me. "I want to live a real life, I don't want to dream anymore." David Aames
You mentioned Drive but I've not heard anyone talk about the The Place Beyond the Pines and how the movie is a LOOP if you think of the beginning starting a few years after the ending. The son becomes the father and the cycle (pun intended) repeats. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Scarlett O’Hara is okay, especially since Margaret Mitchell wrote her that way. The spoiler for me is Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes. Yes, Ashley was always supposed to be an inbred milquetoast, but he needed _something_ to make Scarlett’s infatuation with him more plausible.
I remember thinking as a kid that Michael Jackson played Willy Wonka and was genuinely surprised when I grew up and found out he was played by Johnny Depp
I actually went through something similar to that but it was with a different movie. When I was a kid and watched Final Destination for the first time, I thought the girl who played Carly Beth's friend on Goosebumps played the female main character in that movie. It took a couple years later after seeing it when i found out it's not the same actress and that her name is Ali Larter.
I think Lynch's "Lost Highway" is a masterpiece - almost as good as "Mulholland Drive", but both the critics and most people I know who have seen it hate it. I also love Roman Polanski's "What?". That one gets alot of hate from critics, but not me. I don't think it was popular with the public, either. I think Nicolas Roeg's "Performance" is really good - another film I think most people think is boring. And I think "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" is hilarious. I get a lot of ridicule from many people when I admit that.
Don't let people judge you on Pee Wee. I watched it for first time as an adult and the bike shop scene with Dottie absolutely killed me. "Things you wouldn't understand, things you couldn't understand. Things you *shouldn't* understand." Movie's extraordinarily funny.
_Pee-wee's Big Adventure_ is to cinema what Kerouac's _On the Road_ is to modern literature; it is, quite simply, the single greatest American road-trip film of all time, and a low-key love letter to De Sica's _Ladri di biciclette,_ with all the bombast and significance of Homer's _Odyssey._ ...Oh, and Twisted Sister were great in it, too.
I absolutely love Cloud Atlas. I sometimes wonder whether it wasn't liked by the majority because they weren't understanding what the movie was about, especially with the twin storylines of the same actors playing the same soul throughout time and then a birthmark representing a specific soul that jumped around different actors. It was a very ambitious movie with some fantastic performances, especially Jim Broadbent and Doona Bae.
I think Cloud Atlas is underrated and its ambitious storytelling is admirable, but it also has some tonal imbalance (its sense of humor is awkward at times) and some really overdone makeup/prosthetics. Thematically, I also had some criticisms. Still, I would say it is definitely a good film.
I saw it in theaters and i absolutely loved it, but the woman i saw it with was super into woke politics and she was very upset with the 'problematic choices' of the movie despite the obvious intention of their design this was like ten years ago at this point but those ideas have only gotten more popular, and i have a feeling they just don't want to even remember this movie exists because there's too much potential wrongthink despite there being actual morals behind it
@@Cheesemonk3h those type of ppl ruin everything. It's always about intent, with like you said, the intent being to have the same actors play multiple roles and have the audience be aware of that choice, so it was wise to not bury the actors under heavy prosthetics. I assume you're talking about the actors dressed up as asians?...pfft, such a non issue for those that have the ability to think critically with nuance.
_Munchie_ (1992) - Wynorski's stirring, thematically rich meditation on the magic of friendship, the whimsy of youth, the boundless wonder of the cosmos, and the priceless national treasure that is Jennifer Love Hewitt; all too often dismissed as 'that one flick where a derpy-looking E.T. knockoff with the voice of Dom DeLuise makes a pizza fly'. Ignore the naysayers, my friends; this is _art._
Crimewave by Sam Raimi, it almost killed the careers of everyone who worked on it and is seen as the worst thing ever. It is so far from perfect but it feels like a live action Loony Toons film. Bruce Campbell is fucking hilarious for the bit we have him. I am so glad to own it.
I have a soft spot for technically bad Will Ferrell & Adam Sandler comedies. Stuff like semi-pro, grown ups, talladega nights, happy gilmore, waterboy. Simple movies with simple stories that remind me of my childhood
nah, happy gilmore and the waterboy are pretty solid movies. talladega nights is like the last funny SNL movie. hardly avant garde but they're not executed badly. its stuff like billy madison and click that make my eyes roll back into my skull - its the same formula but the premise is just bad so the movies don't land. the real cream of the crop is the movies like Lil Nicki and Benchwarmers that are both absolutely fucking awful AND a must-watch
@@Cheesemonk3h I haven't fully watched Click, but I have a suspicion that it kinda relates to having a degenerative brain disease, and I am not keen to go down that path for an Adam Sander movie - just a bit too painful and risky as to how it will be treated. If I am wrong, happy to hear it. Happy Gilmore has some GREAT lines that I still quote to this day. "I eat pieces of $#!^ like you for breakfast" "You eat pieces of $#!^ for breakfast? That's gross" just turning such a common 90's phrase around on its head like that still makes me laugh.
@@andrewj1754 it has nothing to do with that actually, it's just about how the fantasy of television makes you ignore reality. its the same derivative adam sandler movie formula but the only constraint to the narrative is magic so the conflict and resolution structure of the movie is totally fucked. it relies too heavily on emotional scenes that are not really properly backed by character development and the point its attempting to make just comes off as hypocritical at best and lazy and derivative at worse
I LOVE the 9th Gate ! Have seen it 50 times if I've seen it once. Polanski is problematic personally, but the vibe of his films is always disturbing and cool. Ghostwriter is another of his that's worthy of repeated views. 9th Gate is one of my top 10, desert island movies - Depp's best performance.
I love that movie too. Had it been released as Season of the Witch rather than tie in with Halloween. I think the movie would have been well liked more.
I think it was the best one, it expanded the lore to include corporations dabbling in witchcraft and the like. So much more troubling to think about than a single slasher named Micheal that exists in the dark world.
Since Bond was mentioned, I want to mention Thunderball as underrated. It’s my second favorite Connery film next to From Russia with Love. While I don’t think this movie is top tier bond, I have to say this is the most immersive movie in the franchise. The Bahamas location really makes you feel like you’re on vacation with Bond. Love the over the top Spectre plot and I really enjoy the Bond women and villains in this movie. This is 60s bond at the height of its popularity and you can feel that energy. The underwater photography is also really revolutionary, but I do contend that it can slow the movie down in a few scenes.
I always thought Thunderball is the best of Connery's ones, besides perhaps Goldfinger. Not sure why that would be underrated. Dr No. is overrated, From Russia with Love is not good at all, and You only Live twice is questionable. Diamonds are Forever is ok, but the assassin duo really let it down IMO.
@@andrewj1754 From Russia with love is pure Fleming for me. I mean to each his own, and I appreciate the love for Thunderball, but From Russia with Love is my absolute favorite. What is it specifically you don’t like about it?
The set up with the the health farm and the guy with plastic surgery and stealing the warheads takes forever, the Felix Lighter actor is probably the worst in the whole series, and there’s even a scene with a boom mic in the shot. But the music is great and Domino and Fiona are pretty hot.
My favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie is Inherent Vice. I love movies set in the late 60s or early 70s. I don't understand why people are confused by the plot. Also, I think this movie is so funny.
1995 mortal kombat is underraprecusted for how good the setting casting and coregraphy is its only real problems as a video game film is the cgi and the two biggest characters being henchmen
It's my childhood movie. Watched it constantly before ever playing the games. I bought the Blu-ray earlier this year and it was my first time seeing in a long time. I still enjoy it.
I'll dedicate this entire comment to a class of movies that there is an obligated hatred of by what I call Geek Dogma. They are typically sequels to beloved franchises that don't live up to the more revered installments, and they are always "terrible", even when they are only merely enjoyable if not unremarkable, and occasionally actually good other than issues that probably wouldn't be deal breakers in any other circumstances. Hatred is required or you're not allowed to play any reindeer games. They include: -Superman III - Fun and weird. Fell away from the lore, but I had fun with it. -Superman Returns - One of those fine but unremarkable ones. Can't just have Superman walking around lifting things. -Alien 3 - ftw, I love this movie. Y'all are just mad they killed Hicks and Newt off screen. -Batman Returns - Again, I love this movie. What is with you people? -The Dark Knight Rises - Issues with logic, but nothing that ruined it for me. -Wolverine Origins - It's not great, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone make it out to be. -Terminator Salvation - This is fine but unremarkable. But when I see it the question does cross my mind often "why does everyone hate this?" -Godfather III - Take Sofia Coppola out and it's really good. I think there's a lot of people of a certain denomination that don't like what the movie implies. -Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull - Fine but unremarkable. Just doesn't live up to the rest of the series, but it's not a bad movie no matter how many swinging monkeys you bring up. -X-Men: The Last Stand - Don't make me defend Brett Ratner. Please? Again, doesn't live up to what came before it, but it's fine. -Iron Man 3 - It's fine. -Thor: The Dark World - Dreary, but fine. -Solo - No movie is necessary, but this might be the most unnecessary movie ever, but aside from 3 things that really bugged me about it, I had a lot more fun with it than I did the rest of the Disney Lucasfilm releases. -Marvel's entire Phase 4 - Clearly a less focused direction than previous phases. But there was nothing I disliked or saw any need to hate.
I may be alone on this (I usually am) but I unironically love Howard The Duck, ever since it's release people have jumped on the hate train and I have never understood why, It has a fantastic production, the cinematography by Richard Kline is fantastic, Special Effects by ILM are great and still hold up in a charming way, the Screenplay is fun and playful, the editing is superb, just look at the chase in the mini plane scene it's cut together so well, and the score by John Barry is beautiful, is it cheesy? yes, is it full of silly puns? absolutely, and I know comic book fans may say it's not that faithful an adaptation but I can only judge it on it's merits as film and I don't think it belongs in the so bad it's good category, I genuinely think it's a fantastic popcorn film that has more charm, wit and individuality than most blockbusters today and as well made as you can make about a talking duck from a multiverse planet. #justice4HowardTheDuck 😁
A shame so few people like Scarlett and remember her when talking about "strong female characters", especially because it's strong in a feminine way instead of the modern concept of masculinizing them.
Here is a GREAT movie for this discussion. AMORES PERROS.. Directed by Óscar winning director Iñarritu My #1 mexican movie, a masterpiece, but American audiences absolutely despise it. The reason for the hate is that one of its main characters makes a living dog fighting. I believe all the hate is concentrated on that one aspect and people cant get past that. The movie doesnt advocate dog fighting. Yes, the main character is the person that we are cheering for, but the movie makes a point to show that he is on a downward spiral to his perdition, same as with walter white selling meth, they are both likeable characters that do horrible things. But american audicieces just completely shut down after they hear "dog fighting" The director anticipated the hate and during the promotional tour released a behind the scenes showing that in the dog fighting sequences the dogs arent actually fighting... ...but then the audiences locked onto the fact that when they showed "dead dogs", the dogs were actually sedated and people were triggered by that because "the dogs couldnt concent to that" Lik brah...anyone triggered by that would die when they learn that dog grommers sedare dogs all the time. Also, im pretty if pets had the option to concent to our decisions they would all be living in the wild, instead of being trapped in our homes. Anyways, great movie go watch it, just keep in mind that its a fictional movie, not a real world documentary.
Mine are: Triumph Of The Will, Song of tbe South, Birth Of A Nation, Gone With The Wind, Jezebel, I Spit On Your Grave, and The Human Centipede. I don't get why these movies are dumped on..They take real risks. They push the envelope.Triumph Of the Will and Birth Of A Nation revolutionized Cinema. The. rest are just plain fun
I can name a few 1. Dreamcatcher - Yes it is dumb lol, but I like the characters and the acting is good. 2. Robocop Remake - The original is in my top 5 most rewatchable films so i get the hate for this, but i kind of liked it. I liked that they had some of the satire stuff and i liked the acting and action decent. Just hated the redesign and villains were lackluster. 3. Batman v Superman - I love this movie and wished Snyder was still going. 4. Mars Attacks - Another Tim Burton gem i feel is underrated. The aliens are funny and scary at the same time. Fun movie.
I have two guilty pleasure favorites that were both critically panned. The first is Two of a Kind with John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John. Great cast and a fun story and I love the chemistry between Travolta & Newton-John. And how can you not love Gene Hackman as God and Oliver Reed as The Devil? The other guilty pleasure is Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot! I love the chemistry between Stallone and Estelle Getty. It has some hilarious scenes throughout and I don’t think it deserves the hate it’s received over the years (even from Stallone).
I frequently watch movie reaction videos. I´ve noticed that hardly anyone talks about "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford". Fantasic movie with the best Brad Pit I can remember, Casey Affleck was just phenomenal and the cinematography of Roger Deakins is beyond any doubt. Maybe because the movie drew the short one at the Oscars 2007, when "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" sort of "stole" the show. Doesn´t make this one any worse, though...
It’s a great film, I think film fans recognize it as great, but it was never going to get the widespread acclaim of those other two you mentioned because it’s WAY too slow for most people. That was my biggest problem with it as well, it needed to move a bit faster to compete with two of the best films ever made in No Country and TWBB.
@@bencarlson4300 Thanks Ben. I´ve heard before, that some find it a bit slow paced. However, the other two movies aren´t exactly fast paced, either. They all give room to their characters to show and develop and the viewer time to sink into the setting. So I don´t see this argument valid, while of course people will feel differently about it. I guess it´s the tone of the movie and most of all Casey Affleck´s portray of Robert Ford, that got to me. Cheers.
One of my favorite movies is suckerpunch! Was it perfect? no but it’s very well acted and Oscar Isaac gives a great performance as Mr blue one of his most underrated
Godfather III is my favorite of the three - not saying it is the 'best', but the one I find the most fascinating, and it a way the most ambitious of the three. Coming from an Italian American family and growing up Catholic, there is so much that resonates. Michael's march to his inevitable failure is palpable in its pain. Interesting note - Coppola created the character of Mary based on - HIS DAUGHTER SOPHIA. So Sophia gets shit for playing a character based on herself. Hmm. Perfect film ? No, but love it. Opera, the outsider (Vincent), the Catholic Church, intrigue, family, there's so many layers. Watch it again, it will surprise you - not the new version, the ending sucks. Michael dying old and alone face down in the dirt is the perfect ending. Can never outrun your sins.
I like Kingsman : The Secret Service, mainly for Samuel L Jackson's Bill Gates based villain portrayal in it. It also had a good cast overall besides him, and some decent scenes of ultraviolence
Sucker Punch! Love that movie and “got it” right off the bat , the story is really deep I believe figuring out who the story is really about,the music and cgi melded together are top notch, also Assassin’s Creed, I heard nothing but bad reviews mostly from online idiots, I thought it was great honestly! Thanks again!
I have watch your channel for while and I want to let you know I really like it. Now your question, Movies that I like that most people don't: Batman vs Superman Directors cut, Eyes Wide Shut, Speed Racer, Exorcist 3, Godfather 3, Matrix : Resurrection, Mars Attack,Empire of the Sun and Flash Gordon..
I 100% agree with the guy who likes Charlie and the chocolate factory. I literally thought I wrote that for a second. Part of it for me I think is the fact that I watched it a lot as a kid. I had it on DVD. I can’t help but love it. It brings me back to my childhood.
@@bloandon I would agree if you said his performance gets too much hate. I think people just really loved Gene Wilders performance and Johnny Depps interpretation is way less charming.
That was me! Like I said I definitely prefer the original film but I think the Burton version is very entertaining in its own right. I love how passive aggressive Wonka is to the kids (he also is in the original but some of the lines in this one are fantastic). Interested to see how the Timothee Chalamet version turns out
@@nationalcoasternews5798 I also love how it’s easier to believe the fan theory that he made the rooms, or chose to visit certain rooms, to tempt the children he didn’t want to win. I think Johnny Depp plays it so it’s more believable that he wants them to break the rules and lose the grand prize. I’m also interested in the new Wonka movie. Don’t have high hopes though.
I like this topic. I couldn't say there are any films that I love that everybody else hates but there are some that are always critically overlooked. Top of my list is Melville's L'Armee des Ombres (Army in the Shadows), a study of a group of people in the French Resistance movement in WWII. Gritty, unsettling and compelling. It is the opposite of Hollywood, which is perhaps why the film was not nominated for any awards. Trust, by Hal Hartley. Nobody cares for this film, but if anyone wants to know the definition of love, watch Trust. It's not flashy, not smart, but very real and beautiful. Schindler's List. Now I know this film has never been ignored, but it has been maligned. It's deep sincerity works for me; and the cast is impeccable
Quantum of Solace is indeed underrated. The entire Tosca opera sequence is remarkable. And I love they basically dedicate an entire movie to Bond grieving Vesper Lynd. Who is by far the greatest BOND GIRL ever. Marc Forster also did a helluva job transitioning locales.
I'm watching this on World Chocolate Day (7-7) and the first film up is all Wonkachocolate. FYI: Most people have no idea what Wonka is actually about. Try this: Author Dahl was the British intelligence go-between for 33rd Masons Churchill and FDR during 1942. His father was a famous mountaineer, Antarctica, hence Mt Chocolate. Only Wonka wears a top hat as he is Master of his Lodge (it's a Masonic thing, I know, I am one myself). The factory is basically a "Deep Underground Military Base", and the Oompa Loompas are nonhumans. The whole thing is soft-disclosure. Oh, and, the "Golden" Ticket? True gold: Philosopher's Gold, Metaphysical Gold, True Gold: Wisdom.
People tend to dismiss films that don't pander to simple expectations yet have far more under the surface. One film greatly emphasizes the divisions in society, the xenophobia that permeates even the most openminded among us. I think its time to take a second look at Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.
@@nationalcoasternews5798 , thought you just made that up, can't be real, but checked....its here on You Tube in all its grand entirety! Not that I'll actually watch it, but great to know a film I can name drop that no one has heard of.
@@ndogg20 It’s real, and it’s without a shadow of a doubt the worst film I’ve ever seen. It feels like it was made by some psychedelic 70s death cult. There’s also two versions, one where Santa Claus tells the story of Thumbelina and the other Jack and the bean stalk. There’s a rifftrax commentary out there that’s hilarious and actually makes it somewhat watchable, but watching it alone makes you slowly go insane. But yeah, makes martians look like a masterpiece of cinema
@@nationalcoasternews5798 , 70s death cult lol. There seems to be a whole sub-genre of strange films made in 60s/70s Florida. Another fiasco that is at least watchable is Fireball Jungle featuring Lon Chaney and the one hit wonder band Mercy. It features all the cliches of 50s B movies but set in 1968.
1:14 - Agreed with commenter... 3:42 - I agree with both of you... The theme was very grounded; and it was created during the writers strike; making it interesting to me... 6:16 I agree with commenters... 11:04 As a brother; I am more intrigued with the suspense for Clark Gable's final words to Scarlett; and the pay-off of leaving Scarlett. It reflects the abusive relationship this country has had to my diaspora; and it reflects the empowerment that could be found in leaving here despite being born here.
This girl is like living Art. The best/worst movie of all time gives me great joy i also find it hilarious that it has the most misleading trailer of all time and just knowing people walked into the theatre not knowing what was about to happen is just great. The Acting was great but the subject matter was visceral. If anyone watches this movie based on this comment remember your gonna have to take a shower after. 1996-97 Movie “Happiness”
A movie that gets beat on a great deal, I find kind of fun is Hudson Hawk. It's light, breezy and just a fun movie. And even though there are elements that are totally unbelievable, I think they work in this film the same way ridiculous plot lines worked on Gilligan's Island (ie, the time when Gilligan constructs wings out of feathers and takes flight until the professor tells him that is impossible and he falls to the ground). Hudson Hawk to me is one of the better non-Die Hard Bruce Willis films (1-3 only).
I recently revisited Showgirls and honestly I think it’s probably Verhoeven masterpiece. I am truly surprised at how respectful he is of Nomi. She is a deluded women chasing after a fictitious dream that over the course of the film reveals itself to be a grotesque facade. It’s a bold deconstruction of this American dream. Funny, dark and strange. I loved it. Also Elle doesn’t get nearly enough discussion even though it is his most sophisticated film. And Basic Instinct is often though of as a cheap erotic thriller when it’s a really cheeky also De Palma like film, if De Palma were a weird Euro trash Freudian perv. P.S: I was wondering what you’re thoughts were on the trajectory of FKA Twig’s career. She’s become very popular, she’s doing music for movies and fashion shows and stuff. It’s a cliché thing to say but since she has become more popular I find the quality of her music has dwindled. It’s still solid. With time Caprisongs has really grown on me as a vulnerable work about her cultural background and the who killing FKA and becoming Telilah thing. Also, could you review some Bresson films? You discuss the idea of film as exploitation a lot and so I wonder what you thought about this man’s approach to cinema, his philosophy.
Basic Instinct and Flesh + Blood both own a depraved patch of dead cellular material in my heart. Give me Verhoeven over Cronenberg or De Palma any day!
@@plath1756 I love Verhoeven but I can’t say he’s ever made something as technically impressive or as stylistically complex as Blow Out or Carrie. Also Videodrome is one of my all time absolute favourite movies, and even though I think Showgirls is amazing, it’s no where near that level of singular awesomeness. So my reaction to your comment is…. really? But Verhoeven do be dope.
I like to group those guys together because I believe they're talented but emotionally stunted. Also, they each have a tendency towards the sleaziest subject matters. Such fun!
Speaking of "Showgirls", it's not fair how Elizabeth Berkeley got her career destroyed because of it (she's since played only in "kitsch", forgettable TV spots), but it's not like anyone blames Kyle MacLachlan for being in it too.
There's movies I like that people hate (Hard To Kill, MI2, Freddy Vs. Jason, Chronicles of Riddick, for instance) but not movies that I love. And I liked how you brought up how complex women characters aren't really allowed to exist in modern cinema (and complex characters are also not really allowed to exist in modern literature, either). Which is truly a shame, in both cases, because, not only does it treat the audience like they're idiots; but it's also artistically compromising and dishonest, as real people all have dimensions and passions, and consequently, contradictions, and depth. And it's still funny to me how many people dislike Dostoevsky and PKD simply because "there are no likable characters." Lol. And it's honestly no surprise that you're a runner (I am, too), as it makes sense why you look so good all the time. Anyways, I liked the video, and I hope you're doing well. ❤
I'm really putting myself out there with this one, but I actually am able to enjoy Zach Snyder's Sucker Punch. Usually I feel like I can't figure out why people hate some movies, but this one is no mystery. But for some reason, I was good with it. lol
It’s a unique movie because it simultaneously feels like a grimy b-movie, but also extremely slick and polished. Similar to Only God Forgives in that I think I liked it but it’s also not as smart as it thinks it is.
"Love" is a big word for some of these, but I certainly LIKE _Cosmopolis_ a whole lot. sometimes I do love the strangeness and the preciseness of the dialogue, how stilted and weird it is. _Solaris,_ the Steven Soderbergh remake, I like that one . . . let's see, _Freddy Got Fingered_ is bananas (but "love", again . . . probably not, no). _Magnolia_ has (or had, anyway) LOTS of hate aimed at it, and that's a movie I do, absolutely Love, capital "L". _Space Cop?_ do I love that movie? I dunno, I love the crew that MADE it. but it's not a successful comedy on its own, surely. _The Counselor_ is another one people love to take for a LONG rip, and I'm sure it deserves it but I dunno. the vibe is uncanny. I like it, probably. I know people DO hate that movie. I've heard them, at length, speak on that hate. but that's cool, too. any of the movies Adam Sandler did pre _Big Daddy?_ do people still hate those movies?? (I think I mean "pre - _Waterboy,_ actually; I'm not sure when _Wedding Singer_ came out, I think actually AFTER the hideous Waterboy movie? shrug!) nothing too fancy. I'm not a fan of _The Last Jedi_ or _The Last Skywalker_ or anything like that. nothing too divisive. I'm quite boring. be well, everyone!
Future review idea. I just watched Air (Damon/Affleck) and it reminded me of the Social Network in terms of being really good storytelling and character development on a business story. Could see you enjoying it.
Disneys fox and the hound gets criticism for being boring with sub-par animation compared to it contemporaries of the time. The movie is great at demonstrating how long life is and how slowly and gradually things can change without you realising - and in such an unexpected direction. I watched this when I was a kid so I thought the movie was just old, and not that the animation was bad due to budgeting. However (and maybe this is nostalgia lense) the rough animation gives the movie a very timeless feel, and plays into the universal and timeless themes of the story. Friendship, growing up, and life.
@@missourigreen051 I think there are too many of exactly the kind of flaws in this film that usually get flagged by critics (who often don't seem to suffer much indulgence of genre or patience for whimsy). It has an uneven tone and some pretty hammy acting in service of a ridiculous, at times confusing plot. But so what! (Well so what, it got mixed reviews is so what!). I can imagine it also failed to find an audience. The basic conceit of 'fairytale meets space opera' was maybe too odd for teenagers, perhaps a bit girly (for want of a better word!) for older sci-fi/action fans (much effort has been expended on Mila Kunis' various 'space princess' frocks), and probably a bit daft and frivolous for nearly everyone else. The film is camp! You can enjoy it for that or despite that. It does have an interesting and fun story if you commit. It revisits the theme of huge unseen forces of control from The Matrix with some dastardly political machinations and baroque, sci-fantastical opulence. I got 'future cult movie' vibes first time I watched it but then I also love David Lynch's Dune. I've tried evangelizing this film among my friends without much luck yet (see also: Dune). Glad someone else likes it!
With Charlie and the Chocolate factory I think nostalgia plays a huge part here. It came out when I was a kid and everybody at school loved it and we'd talk about it a lot. If you watched the movie as a kid it is very likely you really enjoy it
My top 5 Fave films that MOST people dont like 1. Black Christmas 1974 2. Madman 1981 3. Just Before Dawn 1981 4. Stagefright 1987 5.Hello Mary Lou/Prom Night II 1988 And YES these are B Slasher films so I dont expect a lot of people to be into films like this
brilliant topic ... and yeah, i'm sure there are 100 things 'wrong' with Gone With the Wind (I mean, it's a 1930s movie about the 1860s, c'mon), but the drama is brilliant/vibrant along with Fleming's pulsating direction. thumbs up !!
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Suburban Commando, Jingle All the Way, The Core, Conan the Barbarian remake, Showgirls, The Matrix Resurrections, Pirates: On Stranger Tides, The Counselor, Cutthroat Island. I have plenty.
Bless you, I love that film to bits - except the parts in the governor’s bedroom with his niece, which are made even more uncomfortable if you take Polanski’s criminal record and Charlotte Lewis’ accusations into account. But everything else is a glorious delight.
@@b.chaline4394 yeah, it’s a romp. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it. As far as Polanski is concerned he’s a scumbag but a great filmmaker. Chinatown is one of my favorite movies & 1 of the greatest films of all time, rosemarys baby is a masterpiece, knife in the water is brilliant, etc. I don’t make a moral judgements on the artist when looking at their work. If she was actually raped in the scene(though she obviously isn’t even within the movie) I wouldn’t watch it but she wasn’t. She shot not only that scene but the whole movie & I’m sure did quite a bit of press for it. That doesn’t lessen her charges against just that the acts she accuses him of and the movie & scene are separate events. That Joan Crawford was accused by her daughter of abuse doesn’t stop me from watching Mildred Pierce & rooting for her against her diabolical daughter, Vera - or my admiring Caravaggio’s painting cuz he was holy terror throwing acid in the face of a woman and stabbing a rival to death. I’m not saying you’re wrong for having qualms, I understand why you do, just that I don’t
the man who directed QUANTUM OF SOLLACE was the man who directed Moster;s Ball, Marc Forest I believe. I liked it a lot to. I remember my girl friend during the watching of the film saying to me HE'S A SOCIOPATH. That scene during the Opera is fantastic. Another film that gets poor reviews, but I like is from 65 I think ONCE BEFORE I DIE. Directed by John Derrek, and with his then wiufe Ursula Andress. Haunting movie, especilaly at the end. One sequence for me somewhat seemed to be an influence on Appocalypse Now. Mostly negative reviews. Yes it does perhaps have budget restraints, but I love it.
Not that I think it's a masterpiece or even close to the great Michael Mann movies but Blackhat is a very good movie for what it is. I might be a little biased but it blends two of my favourite elements, methodical men on a mission thrillers and Hong Kong. It reminded me of Johnnie To's films like Drug War or Breaking News.
I enjoy Matrix Reloaded, its bad reputation baffles me. It's pretty goofy as you say, but I still think it's a terrifhc action film with some fantastic set-pieces. The stretch of film starting from the entry into the restaurant to meet the Merogvignan to the end of the highway chase is superb, classic. Reloaded and Revolutions should have been one film though, splitting them into two was a disaster.
You may get the gold star for that. Most of us list movies that are easily forgotten because most deemed them poor. But you actually read the instructions, movies people hate. 👍
I've tried to pimp out my copy of Bad Boy Bubby and nobody can get past the admittedly odd and twisted first half, but it drives me mad because it becomes a completely different film after that, and in my opinon a bit of a masterpiece. Also The Blair witch Project, it didn't work in a cinema setting (how many horror films do?) but when I watch it at home it always manages to creep me out.
One movie that everyone hated was the live-action movie of Super Mario Bros. I enjoyed that movie when I was a kid and still love it. The new one is great too. I hope and pray Deep Focus Lens puts out a review for it.
Yikes, even with the context of the video, i cant respect that. I also watched it as a kid and was totally dissappointed by it. Nothing from the video game was there, it looked like what i inagine a nightnmare about mario looks like.
I was about to post this same exact thing. I love the classic 80s/90s practical effects. It’s so much different from the games but it’s really cool seeing the creators try to find a creative way to interpret the games.
I'm late to the game but I have a film no one remembers that I love. 'Pennies from Heaven" with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.Its a depression era drama juxtaposed with bright musical fantasy numbers using period music.I think it's briliant.
I tend to love a lot of the quirky movies that get a lot of hate: Dune (1984/Lynch) Quantum of Solace (one of the best Bond movies, full stop) Highlander II: The Quickening (theatrical cut) Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Terminator: Salvation Howard the Duck Predator 2 Halloween 3: Season of the Witch Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania Suicide Squad (David Ayer) 54 MacGruber Jupiter Ascending The Animal (Rob Schneider)
Lynch’s Dune is so bizarre that it’s almost a comedy at points. However, a lot of it works (the score, Kyle MacLachlan) and those elements mix oddly well with the parts that don’t (the effects, the voice over, some of the acting). I love it, but that’s probably mostly because it still feels like a David Lynch movie rather than a purely corporate cash grab.
Mission Impossible 2. It fails as a Mission Impossible film but as a standalone John Woo film I think it's pretty good. Not one of his best, but pretty good.
2004's Crash. No, Thandiwe Newton should not be saying thank you to Matt Dillion BUT its theme of hate portrayed as this virus that passes from person to person, I like very much.
I never considered Spider-Man 3 to be a bad film. It’s kind of messy but I think it still has heart, emotional scenes, and good fights.
There’s still several really well directed sequences. Still better than ASM 2.
Bully Maguire!
Too many villains
The Outsiders. It was not received well by critics, but i was such a fan of S.E. Hintons novel, that I was just happy someone (Copolla) did it.
Terminator 3 is massively underrated and under appreciated. In some recent years the movie has had a more positive resurgence since actual bad terminator movies were released. Looking at you genisys and dark fate the same would apply to the Star Wars prequels as well since disney released their sequel trilogy.
T3 had some fantastic action sequences. The crane chase sequence was awesome.
These videos are my favorite. No flashy thumbnails or editing just a love and reverence for film.
"Gone with the Wind" is one of the greatest films to watch with an audience, who are with Scarlett all the way via Vivien Leigh's astounding work; it's a richly entertaining experience to see the film with a packed house, but many today shut it down/want it banned, etc. I completely agree with your assessment concerning the strength involved with some characters beyond any stereotype, specifically in the case of Mammy (perfectly played by Hattie McDaniel), who is the one character who consistently puts Scarlett in her place and is on to her every deceptive move throughout the film.
I cannot stand the condescension toward the black characters and how they are portrayed. That young maid is an insult and perpetuates bigotry. I don't think it should be banned but more of a lesson in how awful black people were treated. It should be taught in this way and make sure every generation knows the problems with the movie from a human aspect.
@@hiddensword9387 I wondered when politics would show up in this message thread. Let's open up that flood gate of every historic movie featuring black people coming with a history lesson. How ridiculous.
I was surprised to see GWTW mentioned as a film "that everyone hates", but maybe it’s a US mainstream media thing. I’m from Europe and I’ve never heard anyone say anything remotely negative about that film, which is usually considered an American classic and a true American answer to our own epic tales like Les Misérables or War and Peace. As a matter of fact, it was one of my late mother’s favorite films, she was very invested in Scarlett O’Hara. It saddens me to hear that several cultural and educational institutions seem to consider this film as anathem, these days. If anything, I think it´s a historical treasure to be cherished, but hey, that’s easy for me to say from across the Pond, I guess...
Here's how you know the movie is great. You could take out the whole civil war context (and given the portrayal of black people in the movie, I somehow wish they could), put the same characters in some other historical context and it would stand up. If anything sinks the movie, it's the civil war context and our cringe about how it is portrayed that makes us reject the movie, not the characters.
so boring
PREDATOR 2 was banging despite popular opinion.
True, not as strong as the First Predator but still pretty good.
Not sure why this was ever hated. It expanded the lore and was badass. That's how a sequel should be done. Respect the original and keep the core elements, but change it a bit to keep it fresh.
Yeah…I always dug it too.
@@dorianwhitney3862 Because everyone in 1990 wanted Arnold back as Dutch and there were rumors that he was returning. I like Glover and the movie is pretty good, but I get why people at that time were disappointed.
@Bishop Walters That is a fair point. I could see why they would not even want to give it a chance without Arnold. I think most people,once they got past that, finally gave it the recognition it deserves, as a pretty damn good sequel.
The Lovely Bones was a very important film to me growing and i was honestly stunned when i saw it wasn't as beloved by audiences as i thought
Too creepy and you can't get past it, I think.
Disgusting, creepy and weird…🤮🤮🤮. One of the worst movies and it left me thinking why was this movie even made?
@@3luckydog defo creepy and awful acting and directing, wtf was Wahlberg doing in it in the background
@@starwarsroo2448 I don’t know dude. Someone hounded me to watch this lump of filth. I was so pissed at them. I was so uncomfortable and grossed out the entire flick. I don’t watch movies to feel like that or to witness such depravity.
@@3luckydog me and my then gf watched it and at the end started cheering that it had finally finished.
only god forgives is so awesome the more you watch it and get drawn into Vithaya Pansringarm’s brilliant, utterly badass performance!!! his entrance alone is like harry lime meets batman. he’s an unstoppable force, subtle and cool, adding to the overall atmosphere perfectly and effortlessly. gosling and the rest do a nice job filling out the supporting roles to let this true legend emerge and guide your mind through the labyrinth of neon
Reloaded is my favorite in the franchise. I’ve never understood why it catches so much hate. The staircase fight scene and the highway scene are phenomenal as are the dialogue exchanges with the Merovingian. They built a 4 lane highway with overpasses and dividers that’s over a mile long for f#@k sake. Absolute cinematic milestone.
I've watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory many times since I was a child. I still love it to this day and it remains iconic because It has true warmth, a great storyline and Gene Wilder is amazing. Tim Burton's mess is too reliant on CGI and Johnny Depp completely missed the boat with his performance. Gene Wilder hated Tim Burton's adaptation and so do I.
You wanted a remake then. It’s not supposed to be the same thing
"A Boy and His Dog": Get's so-so reviews, yet the entire "Mad Max" genre wouldn't exist without it. A masterpiece
Total classic ❤
@@skeletonkey6 👍
Maybe not “hated” but often ignored, I consider Joe Dante’s “The Howling”, released in 1981, to be the absolute best werewolf movie ever made, tied only with John Landis’s “An American Werewolf In London”, released the same year. Only the opening 15 minutes regarding the pretty reporter (Dee Wallace) helping the police to capture a serial killer is a lesson of suspense and tension.
The Howling is one of the greatest films ever made!
I like everything Joe Dante did
I really enjoyed Zack Snyder's Watchmen.
valid
Top 3 fav comic book movies ever for me
@@davidfelter417 what are the other two?
So did I
I thought everybody likes that movie tho
ooooo, good topic. For me it's "The Hateful Eight." I really enjoyed this movie. There were a few parts I could do without, but it pushes some boundaries for sure. Walton's character had considerable depth, and I like how James Park's character was expounded upon. I've been trying to figure out why people dislike the film so much. Maybe I'm missing something. oooo, I didn't think about using the Matrix soundtrack or score for running background; I may have to try it.
It's the Taratino film I've watched the most since its release. I think Django and Inglorious are better, but I don't watch them nearly as much as Hateful Eight. I go back to it time and time again.
I really like Hateful Eight (especially the extended or director’s cut or whatever the 4hr version is), but it’s not one that I see as great like I do with 3-4 other Tarantino movies just because it feels like he wanted to remake The Thing but set in the post-Civil War west, which he succeeded in doing, but it’s less interesting to me than pretty much anything else he’s done.
I'm a little late to the party (recent subscriber) but figured I'd add my contribution here. Vanilla Sky. Highly transformative movie for me. When I saw it in college like most people I found the movie difficult to follow and understand. I just know I liked the soundtrack. But over the years and after building life experience, I watched this movie a couple years ago during a health crisis. Never has a movie had such a profound impact on my life. It touches on so many themes: the emptiness of riches, coming to grips with mortality, consequences of lust, true love, dealing with suffering, destructiveness of technology, and many more. It helped me appreciate what I have and realize true love is right there in front of me. "I want to live a real life, I don't want to dream anymore." David Aames
i think it's holding up well ... i just saw it again recently. a little drawn out, but a bit ahead of its time as well
Speed Racer, Matrix Revolutions, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending, Jurassic Park 3, Observe and Report, Jade (Friedkin)
You mentioned Drive but I've not heard anyone talk about the The Place Beyond the Pines and how the movie is a LOOP if you think of the beginning starting a few years after the ending. The son becomes the father and the cycle (pun intended) repeats. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Scarlett O’Hara is okay, especially since Margaret Mitchell wrote her that way. The spoiler for me is Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes. Yes, Ashley was always supposed to be an inbred milquetoast, but he needed _something_ to make Scarlett’s infatuation with him more plausible.
I remember thinking as a kid that Michael Jackson played Willy Wonka and was genuinely surprised when I grew up and found out he was played by Johnny Depp
Michael Jackson _did_ play Willy Wonka; it's just that he did it in real life, not in a movie.
I actually went through something similar to that but it was with a different movie. When I was a kid and watched Final Destination for the first time, I thought the girl who played Carly Beth's friend on Goosebumps played the female main character in that movie. It took a couple years later after seeing it when i found out it's not the same actress and that her name is Ali Larter.
Walter Hill's Last Man Standing, great mood piece with great, thunderous gun battles and a terrific Christopher Walken villain.
I think Lynch's "Lost Highway" is a masterpiece - almost as good as "Mulholland Drive", but both the critics and most people I know who have seen it hate it. I also love Roman Polanski's "What?". That one gets alot of hate from critics, but not me. I don't think it was popular with the public, either. I think Nicolas Roeg's "Performance" is really good - another film I think most people think is boring. And I think "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" is hilarious. I get a lot of ridicule from many people when I admit that.
Don't let people judge you on Pee Wee. I watched it for first time as an adult and the bike shop scene with Dottie absolutely killed me. "Things you wouldn't understand, things you couldn't understand. Things you *shouldn't* understand." Movie's extraordinarily funny.
First I’ve heard of Lost Highway being panned, but then again I didn’t read the reviews and simply love the film
_Pee-wee's Big Adventure_ is to cinema what Kerouac's _On the Road_ is to modern literature; it is, quite simply, the single greatest American road-trip film of all time, and a low-key love letter to De Sica's _Ladri di biciclette,_ with all the bombast and significance of Homer's _Odyssey._
...Oh, and Twisted Sister were great in it, too.
Performance is a beloved film
I think you might dig Week-end by Goddard... I don't think it's universally loved either
I absolutely love Cloud Atlas. I sometimes wonder whether it wasn't liked by the majority because they weren't understanding what the movie was about, especially with the twin storylines of the same actors playing the same soul throughout time and then a birthmark representing a specific soul that jumped around different actors. It was a very ambitious movie with some fantastic performances, especially Jim Broadbent and Doona Bae.
I think Cloud Atlas is underrated and its ambitious storytelling is admirable, but it also has some tonal imbalance (its sense of humor is awkward at times) and some really overdone makeup/prosthetics. Thematically, I also had some criticisms. Still, I would say it is definitely a good film.
I saw it in theaters and i absolutely loved it, but the woman i saw it with was super into woke politics and she was very upset with the 'problematic choices' of the movie despite the obvious intention of their design
this was like ten years ago at this point but those ideas have only gotten more popular, and i have a feeling they just don't want to even remember this movie exists because there's too much potential wrongthink despite there being actual morals behind it
@@Cheesemonk3h those type of ppl ruin everything. It's always about intent, with like you said, the intent being to have the same actors play multiple roles and have the audience be aware of that choice, so it was wise to not bury the actors under heavy prosthetics. I assume you're talking about the actors dressed up as asians?...pfft, such a non issue for those that have the ability to think critically with nuance.

_Munchie_ (1992) - Wynorski's stirring, thematically rich meditation on the magic of friendship, the whimsy of youth, the boundless wonder of the cosmos, and the priceless national treasure that is Jennifer Love Hewitt; all too often dismissed as 'that one flick where a derpy-looking E.T. knockoff with the voice of Dom DeLuise makes a pizza fly'. Ignore the naysayers, my friends; this is _art._
Crimewave by Sam Raimi, it almost killed the careers of everyone who worked on it and is seen as the worst thing ever. It is so far from perfect but it feels like a live action Loony Toons film. Bruce Campbell is fucking hilarious for the bit we have him.
I am so glad to own it.
"tell him it's a two for one special"
I have a soft spot for technically bad Will Ferrell & Adam Sandler comedies. Stuff like semi-pro, grown ups, talladega nights, happy gilmore, waterboy. Simple movies with simple stories that remind me of my childhood
nah, happy gilmore and the waterboy are pretty solid movies. talladega nights is like the last funny SNL movie. hardly avant garde but they're not executed badly. its stuff like billy madison and click that make my eyes roll back into my skull - its the same formula but the premise is just bad so the movies don't land. the real cream of the crop is the movies like Lil Nicki and Benchwarmers that are both absolutely fucking awful AND a must-watch
@@Cheesemonk3h I haven't fully watched Click, but I have a suspicion that it kinda relates to having a degenerative brain disease, and I am not keen to go down that path for an Adam Sander movie - just a bit too painful and risky as to how it will be treated. If I am wrong, happy to hear it.
Happy Gilmore has some GREAT lines that I still quote to this day. "I eat pieces of $#!^ like you for breakfast" "You eat pieces of $#!^ for breakfast? That's gross" just turning such a common 90's phrase around on its head like that still makes me laugh.
@@andrewj1754 it has nothing to do with that actually, it's just about how the fantasy of television makes you ignore reality. its the same derivative adam sandler movie formula but the only constraint to the narrative is magic so the conflict and resolution structure of the movie is totally fucked. it relies too heavily on emotional scenes that are not really properly backed by character development and the point its attempting to make just comes off as hypocritical at best and lazy and derivative at worse
I really liked Babylon. Another one is dark shadows. That movie is beautiful.
I thought Johnny Dep was perfect. Wilder was too. Me and the fam consider it a classic as much as the original is classic.
The Hudsucker Proxy, a great satire from the Coen brothers that hardly gets a mention these days.
I saw Hudsucker while doing a runthrough of the first half of the Coens’ filmog. It fit right in
Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate" has this quirky quality to it and beautifully filmed.
I watched that one about a dozens times back when it came out on demand.
I LOVE the 9th Gate ! Have seen it 50 times if I've seen it once. Polanski is problematic personally, but the vibe of his films is always disturbing and cool. Ghostwriter is another of his that's worthy of repeated views. 9th Gate is one of my top 10, desert island movies - Depp's best performance.
Also Halloween 3 Season of the Witch is my favorite in the entire series, excellent sci-fi ish horror!
I love that movie too. Had it been released as Season of the Witch rather than tie in with Halloween. I think the movie would have been well liked more.
I think it was the best one, it expanded the lore to include corporations dabbling in witchcraft and the like. So much more troubling to think about than a single slasher named Micheal that exists in the dark world.
Killer soundtrack.
Since Bond was mentioned, I want to mention Thunderball as underrated. It’s my second favorite Connery film next to From Russia with Love. While I don’t think this movie is top tier bond, I have to say this is the most immersive movie in the franchise. The Bahamas location really makes you feel like you’re on vacation with Bond. Love the over the top Spectre plot and I really enjoy the Bond women and villains in this movie. This is 60s bond at the height of its popularity and you can feel that energy. The underwater photography is also really revolutionary, but I do contend that it can slow the movie down in a few scenes.
I've tried several times to make it through Thunderball. The underwater scenes go on way too long, and I usually doze off lol.
I always thought Thunderball is the best of Connery's ones, besides perhaps Goldfinger. Not sure why that would be underrated. Dr No. is overrated, From Russia with Love is not good at all, and You only Live twice is questionable. Diamonds are Forever is ok, but the assassin duo really let it down IMO.
@@andrewj1754 From Russia with love is pure Fleming for me. I mean to each his own, and I appreciate the love for Thunderball, but From Russia with Love is my absolute favorite. What is it specifically you don’t like about it?
Thunderball I love and the underwater scenes are fantastic imo. Goldfinger is my favourite but Thunderball is in the top 5 for sure.
The set up with the the health farm and the guy with plastic surgery and stealing the warheads takes forever, the Felix Lighter actor is probably the worst in the whole series, and there’s even a scene with a boom mic in the shot. But the music is great and Domino and Fiona are pretty hot.
Artificial Intelligence is the first one that springs to my mind.
Good one!
Lol i just realized i kinda dissed myself with that sentence 😂
I love Empire of the Sun, but it's often sighted as a mistep by Spielberg fans.
Oh shnap, I forgot about this one, even though it's one of my favorite Spielberg movies.
My favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie is Inherent Vice. I love movies set in the late 60s or early 70s. I don't understand why people are confused by the plot. Also, I think this movie is so funny.
Beware the Golden Fang
Yes!
Loved Inherent Vice
Matrix Reloaded was very cool and fun and world building. It was so good, and having the Enter the Matrix game alongside it was such fun too.
1995 mortal kombat is underraprecusted for how good the setting casting and coregraphy is its only real problems as a video game film is the cgi and the two biggest characters being henchmen
It's my childhood movie. Watched it constantly before ever playing the games. I bought the Blu-ray earlier this year and it was my first time seeing in a long time. I still enjoy it.
It really captured the spirit of the video game for me. It was exactly what it needed to be imo.
I was just thinking yesterday that we haven't seen much from you in a while.
I'll dedicate this entire comment to a class of movies that there is an obligated hatred of by what I call Geek Dogma. They are typically sequels to beloved franchises that don't live up to the more revered installments, and they are always "terrible", even when they are only merely enjoyable if not unremarkable, and occasionally actually good other than issues that probably wouldn't be deal breakers in any other circumstances. Hatred is required or you're not allowed to play any reindeer games. They include:
-Superman III - Fun and weird. Fell away from the lore, but I had fun with it.
-Superman Returns - One of those fine but unremarkable ones. Can't just have Superman walking around lifting things.
-Alien 3 - ftw, I love this movie. Y'all are just mad they killed Hicks and Newt off screen.
-Batman Returns - Again, I love this movie. What is with you people?
-The Dark Knight Rises - Issues with logic, but nothing that ruined it for me.
-Wolverine Origins - It's not great, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone make it out to be.
-Terminator Salvation - This is fine but unremarkable. But when I see it the question does cross my mind often "why does everyone hate this?"
-Godfather III - Take Sofia Coppola out and it's really good. I think there's a lot of people of a certain denomination that don't like what the movie implies.
-Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull - Fine but unremarkable. Just doesn't live up to the rest of the series, but it's not a bad movie no matter how many swinging monkeys you bring up.
-X-Men: The Last Stand - Don't make me defend Brett Ratner. Please? Again, doesn't live up to what came before it, but it's fine.
-Iron Man 3 - It's fine.
-Thor: The Dark World - Dreary, but fine.
-Solo - No movie is necessary, but this might be the most unnecessary movie ever, but aside from 3 things that really bugged me about it, I had a lot more fun with it than I did the rest of the Disney Lucasfilm releases.
-Marvel's entire Phase 4 - Clearly a less focused direction than previous phases. But there was nothing I disliked or saw any need to hate.
I may be alone on this (I usually am) but I unironically love Howard The Duck, ever since it's release people have jumped on the hate train and I have never understood why, It has a fantastic production, the cinematography by Richard Kline is fantastic, Special Effects by ILM are great and still hold up in a charming way, the Screenplay is fun and playful, the editing is superb, just look at the chase in the mini plane scene it's cut together so well, and the score by John Barry is beautiful, is it cheesy? yes, is it full of silly puns? absolutely, and I know comic book fans may say it's not that faithful an adaptation but I can only judge it on it's merits as film and I don't think it belongs in the so bad it's good category, I genuinely think it's a fantastic popcorn film that has more charm, wit and individuality than most blockbusters today and as well made as you can make about a talking duck from a multiverse planet. #justice4HowardTheDuck 😁
Hear! Hear! 🦆
Howard The Duck is so much fun! I watched it expecting it to be crap but it ended up being super entertaining.
I always liked the second half (when it becomes a monster movie). Jeffrey Jones is great in it.
This is a movie that I THINK I liked.... Its beeen a bit so I need to watch it again to find out.
A shame so few people like Scarlett and remember her when talking about "strong female characters", especially because it's strong in a feminine way instead of the modern concept of masculinizing them.
Here is a GREAT movie for this discussion. AMORES PERROS..
Directed by Óscar winning director Iñarritu
My #1 mexican movie, a masterpiece, but American audiences absolutely despise it.
The reason for the hate is that one of its main characters makes a living dog fighting.
I believe all the hate is concentrated on that one aspect and people cant get past that.
The movie doesnt advocate dog fighting. Yes, the main character is the person that we are cheering for, but the movie makes a point to show that he is on a downward spiral to his perdition, same as with walter white selling meth, they are both likeable characters that do horrible things.
But american audicieces just completely shut down after they hear "dog fighting"
The director anticipated the hate and during the promotional tour released a behind the scenes showing that in the dog fighting sequences the dogs arent actually fighting...
...but then the audiences locked onto the fact that when they showed "dead dogs", the dogs were actually sedated and people were triggered by that because "the dogs couldnt concent to that"
Lik brah...anyone triggered by that would die when they learn that dog grommers sedare dogs all the time.
Also, im pretty if pets had the option to concent to our decisions they would all be living in the wild, instead of being trapped in our homes.
Anyways, great movie go watch it, just keep in mind that its a fictional movie, not a real world documentary.
“American audiences despise it”? Really? It’s a great movie!
Mine are: Triumph Of The Will, Song of tbe South, Birth Of A Nation, Gone With The Wind, Jezebel, I Spit On Your Grave, and The Human Centipede. I don't get why these movies are dumped on..They take real risks. They push the envelope.Triumph Of the Will and Birth Of A Nation revolutionized Cinema. The. rest are just plain fun
US Marshalls. The Unofficial Sequel to The Fugitive. I just like it. What can I say?
I can name a few
1. Dreamcatcher - Yes it is dumb lol, but I like the characters and the acting is good.
2. Robocop Remake - The original is in my top 5 most rewatchable films so i get the hate for this, but i kind of liked it. I liked that they had some of the satire stuff and i liked the acting and action decent. Just hated the redesign and villains were lackluster.
3. Batman v Superman - I love this movie and wished Snyder was still going.
4. Mars Attacks - Another Tim Burton gem i feel is underrated. The aliens are funny and scary at the same time. Fun movie.
I have two guilty pleasure favorites that were both critically panned. The first is Two of a Kind with John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John. Great cast and a fun story and I love the chemistry between Travolta & Newton-John. And how can you not love Gene Hackman as God and Oliver Reed as The Devil?
The other guilty pleasure is Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot! I love the chemistry between Stallone and Estelle Getty. It has some hilarious scenes throughout and I don’t think it deserves the hate it’s received over the years (even from Stallone).
I frequently watch movie reaction videos. I´ve noticed that hardly anyone talks about "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford". Fantasic movie with the best Brad Pit I can remember, Casey Affleck was just phenomenal and the cinematography of Roger Deakins is beyond any doubt. Maybe because the movie drew the short one at the Oscars 2007, when "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" sort of "stole" the show. Doesn´t make this one any worse, though...
It’s a great film, I think film fans recognize it as great, but it was never going to get the widespread acclaim of those other two you mentioned because it’s WAY too slow for most people. That was my biggest problem with it as well, it needed to move a bit faster to compete with two of the best films ever made in No Country and TWBB.
@@bencarlson4300 Thanks Ben. I´ve heard before, that some find it a bit slow paced. However, the other two movies aren´t exactly fast paced, either. They all give room to their characters to show and develop and the viewer time to sink into the setting. So I don´t see this argument valid, while of course people will feel differently about it. I guess it´s the tone of the movie and most of all Casey Affleck´s portray of Robert Ford, that got to me. Cheers.
One of my favorite movies is suckerpunch! Was it perfect? no but it’s very well acted and Oscar Isaac gives a great performance as Mr blue one of his most underrated
Speed Racer, That’s My Boy, Unleashed, Man of Steel, alita battle Angel, In Good Company, and Thor Love & Thunder
Godfather III is my favorite of the three - not saying it is the 'best', but the one I find the most fascinating, and it a way the most ambitious of the three. Coming from an Italian American family and growing up Catholic, there is so much that resonates. Michael's march to his inevitable failure is palpable in its pain. Interesting note - Coppola created the character of Mary based on - HIS DAUGHTER SOPHIA. So Sophia gets shit for playing a character based on herself. Hmm. Perfect film ? No, but love it. Opera, the outsider (Vincent), the Catholic Church, intrigue, family, there's so many layers. Watch it again, it will surprise you - not the new version, the ending sucks. Michael dying old and alone face down in the dirt is the perfect ending. Can never outrun your sins.
I like Kingsman : The Secret Service, mainly for Samuel L Jackson's Bill Gates based villain portrayal in it. It also had a good cast overall besides him, and some decent scenes of ultraviolence
The Many Saints of Newark was mesmerizing to my mind. But apparently few others thought so.
Kongo (1932), Tobacco Road (1941), Tokyo Twilight, Coonskin, The Serpent's Egg, Rules of Attraction...I could go on.
Hope you had fun in Rome! I went there on a 2-week cruise from May 8th to the 20th. It was amazing.
Halloween III, what’s wrong with it?
Battlefield Earth (2001) because i used to skip school and go see it in a not right "frame of mind". It's the greatest movie ever.
The 13th Warrior starring Antonio Banderas is one of my favorites. Everybody I recommended it to hated it.
I like "Stan Helsing" (Horror Comedy Spoof), but pretty much everyone online gives it a bad review? Its just as funny as Scary Movie 1& 2
Sucker Punch! Love that movie and “got it” right off the bat , the story is really deep I believe figuring out who the story is really about,the music and cgi melded together are top notch, also Assassin’s Creed, I heard nothing but bad reviews mostly from online idiots, I thought it was great honestly! Thanks again!
what about the story is deep
Sucker Punch is a good movie, I was one of the very few people that actually saw it in the theater when it first came out.
I have watch your channel for while and I want to let you know I really like it. Now your question, Movies that I like that most people don't: Batman vs Superman Directors cut, Eyes Wide Shut, Speed Racer, Exorcist 3, Godfather 3, Matrix : Resurrection, Mars Attack,Empire of the Sun and Flash Gordon..
I adore Flash Gordon. It’s actually in my top 10 all time.
I 100% agree with the guy who likes Charlie and the chocolate factory. I literally thought I wrote that for a second. Part of it for me I think is the fact that I watched it a lot as a kid. I had it on DVD. I can’t help but love it. It brings me back to my childhood.
I like it just for Johnny Depps performance alone
@@bloandon I would agree if you said his performance gets too much hate. I think people just really loved Gene Wilders performance and Johnny Depps interpretation is way less charming.
@@ObsessedStephenKingFanatic1974 my mom loves the cannibalism line.
That was me! Like I said I definitely prefer the original film but I think the Burton version is very entertaining in its own right. I love how passive aggressive Wonka is to the kids (he also is in the original but some of the lines in this one are fantastic). Interested to see how the Timothee Chalamet version turns out
@@nationalcoasternews5798 I also love how it’s easier to believe the fan theory that he made the rooms, or chose to visit certain rooms, to tempt the children he didn’t want to win. I think Johnny Depp plays it so it’s more believable that he wants them to break the rules and lose the grand prize. I’m also interested in the new Wonka movie. Don’t have high hopes though.
Matrix reloaded soundtrack is awesome when stuck in traffic and needing to get home quicker ! Mona Lisa drive I believe is the track
La La Land makes every drive bearable.
I like this topic. I couldn't say there are any films that I love that everybody else hates but there are some that are always critically overlooked. Top of my list is Melville's L'Armee des Ombres (Army in the Shadows), a study of a group of people in the French Resistance movement in WWII. Gritty, unsettling and compelling. It is the opposite of Hollywood, which is perhaps why the film was not nominated for any awards. Trust, by Hal Hartley. Nobody cares for this film, but if anyone wants to know the definition of love, watch Trust. It's not flashy, not smart, but very real and beautiful. Schindler's List. Now I know this film has never been ignored, but it has been maligned. It's deep sincerity works for me; and the cast is impeccable
Quantum of Solace is indeed underrated. The entire Tosca opera sequence is remarkable. And I love they basically dedicate an entire movie to Bond grieving Vesper Lynd. Who is by far the greatest BOND GIRL ever. Marc Forster also did a helluva job transitioning locales.
I love "Who's that girl" The 80s movie with Madonna that all critics hate 😂 I just think it is a crazy and hilarious movie.
I'm watching this on World Chocolate Day (7-7) and the first film up is all Wonkachocolate.
FYI: Most people have no idea what Wonka is actually about. Try this: Author Dahl was the British intelligence go-between for 33rd Masons Churchill and FDR during 1942. His father was a famous mountaineer, Antarctica, hence Mt Chocolate. Only Wonka wears a top hat as he is Master of his Lodge (it's a Masonic thing, I know, I am one myself). The factory is basically a "Deep Underground Military Base", and the Oompa Loompas are nonhumans. The whole thing is soft-disclosure. Oh, and, the "Golden" Ticket? True gold: Philosopher's Gold, Metaphysical Gold, True Gold: Wisdom.
People tend to dismiss films that don't pander to simple expectations yet have far more under the surface. One film greatly emphasizes the divisions in society, the xenophobia that permeates even the most openminded among us. I think its time to take a second look at Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.
But what about Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny
@@nationalcoasternews5798 , thought you just made that up, can't be real, but checked....its here on You Tube in all its grand entirety! Not that I'll actually watch it, but great to know a film I can name drop that no one has heard of.
@@ndogg20 It’s real, and it’s without a shadow of a doubt the worst film I’ve ever seen. It feels like it was made by some psychedelic 70s death cult. There’s also two versions, one where Santa Claus tells the story of Thumbelina and the other Jack and the bean stalk. There’s a rifftrax commentary out there that’s hilarious and actually makes it somewhat watchable, but watching it alone makes you slowly go insane. But yeah, makes martians look like a masterpiece of cinema
@@nationalcoasternews5798 , 70s death cult lol. There seems to be a whole sub-genre of strange films made in 60s/70s Florida. Another fiasco that is at least watchable is Fireball Jungle featuring Lon Chaney and the one hit wonder band Mercy. It features all the cliches of 50s B movies but set in 1968.
1:14 - Agreed with commenter... 3:42 - I agree with both of you... The theme was very grounded; and it was created during the writers strike; making it interesting to me... 6:16 I agree with commenters... 11:04 As a brother; I am more intrigued with the suspense for Clark Gable's final words to Scarlett; and the pay-off of leaving Scarlett.
It reflects the abusive relationship this country has had to my diaspora; and it reflects the empowerment that could be found in leaving here despite being born here.
This girl is like living Art. The best/worst movie of all time gives me great joy i also find it hilarious that it has the most misleading trailer of all time and just knowing people walked into the theatre not knowing what was about to happen is just great. The Acting was great but the subject matter was visceral. If anyone watches this movie based on this comment remember your gonna have to take a shower after. 1996-97 Movie “Happiness”
A movie that gets beat on a great deal, I find kind of fun is Hudson Hawk. It's light, breezy and just a fun movie. And even though there are elements that are totally unbelievable, I think they work in this film the same way ridiculous plot lines worked on Gilligan's Island (ie, the time when Gilligan constructs wings out of feathers and takes flight until the professor tells him that is impossible and he falls to the ground). Hudson Hawk to me is one of the better non-Die Hard Bruce Willis films (1-3 only).
I recently revisited Showgirls and honestly I think it’s probably Verhoeven masterpiece. I am truly surprised at how respectful he is of Nomi. She is a deluded women chasing after a fictitious dream that over the course of the film reveals itself to be a grotesque facade. It’s a bold deconstruction of this American dream. Funny, dark and strange. I loved it.
Also Elle doesn’t get nearly enough discussion even though it is his most sophisticated film.
And Basic Instinct is often though of as a cheap erotic thriller when it’s a really cheeky also De Palma like film, if De Palma were a weird Euro trash Freudian perv.
P.S: I was wondering what you’re thoughts were on the trajectory of FKA Twig’s career. She’s become very popular, she’s doing music for movies and fashion shows and stuff. It’s a cliché thing to say but since she has become more popular I find the quality of her music has dwindled. It’s still solid. With time Caprisongs has really grown on me as a vulnerable work about her cultural background and the who killing FKA and becoming Telilah thing.
Also, could you review some Bresson films? You discuss the idea of film as exploitation a lot and so I wonder what you thought about this man’s approach to cinema, his philosophy.
Basic Instinct and Flesh + Blood both own a depraved patch of dead cellular material in my heart. Give me Verhoeven over Cronenberg or De Palma any day!
@@plath1756 I love Verhoeven but I can’t say he’s ever made something as technically impressive or as stylistically complex as Blow Out or Carrie. Also Videodrome is one of my all time absolute favourite movies, and even though I think Showgirls is amazing, it’s no where near that level of singular awesomeness. So my reaction to your comment is…. really? But Verhoeven do be dope.
I like to group those guys together because I believe they're talented but emotionally stunted. Also, they each have a tendency towards the sleaziest subject matters. Such fun!
@@plath1756I wouldn’t call De Palma emotionally stunted.
Speaking of "Showgirls", it's not fair how Elizabeth Berkeley got her career destroyed because of it (she's since played only in "kitsch", forgettable TV spots), but it's not like anyone blames Kyle MacLachlan for being in it too.
There's movies I like that people hate (Hard To Kill, MI2, Freddy Vs. Jason, Chronicles of Riddick, for instance) but not movies that I love.
And I liked how you brought up how complex women characters aren't really allowed to exist in modern cinema (and complex characters are also not really allowed to exist in modern literature, either). Which is truly a shame, in both cases, because, not only does it treat the audience like they're idiots; but it's also artistically compromising and dishonest, as real people all have dimensions and passions, and consequently, contradictions, and depth. And it's still funny to me how many people dislike Dostoevsky and PKD simply because "there are no likable characters." Lol.
And it's honestly no surprise that you're a runner (I am, too), as it makes sense why you look so good all the time. Anyways, I liked the video, and I hope you're doing well. ❤
I'm really putting myself out there with this one, but I actually am able to enjoy Zach Snyder's Sucker Punch. Usually I feel like I can't figure out why people hate some movies, but this one is no mystery. But for some reason, I was good with it. lol
Please revisit 'The Neon Demon' and maybe review it. I absolutely swear by that film.
Was Neon Demon widely panned/disliked? I'm kinda surprised if so.
@@earlpipe9713 yep it was. Many thought it was convoluted, too pretentious
It’s a unique movie because it simultaneously feels like a grimy b-movie, but also extremely slick and polished. Similar to Only God Forgives in that I think I liked it but it’s also not as smart as it thinks it is.
"Love" is a big word for some of these, but I certainly LIKE _Cosmopolis_ a whole lot. sometimes I do love the strangeness and the preciseness of the dialogue, how stilted and weird it is.
_Solaris,_ the Steven Soderbergh remake, I like that one . . . let's see, _Freddy Got Fingered_ is bananas (but "love", again . . . probably not, no). _Magnolia_ has (or had, anyway) LOTS of hate aimed at it, and that's a movie I do, absolutely Love, capital "L".
_Space Cop?_ do I love that movie? I dunno, I love the crew that MADE it. but it's not a successful comedy on its own, surely.
_The Counselor_ is another one people love to take for a LONG rip, and I'm sure it deserves it but I dunno. the vibe is uncanny. I like it, probably. I know people DO hate that movie. I've heard them, at length, speak on that hate. but that's cool, too.
any of the movies Adam Sandler did pre _Big Daddy?_ do people still hate those movies?? (I think I mean "pre - _Waterboy,_ actually; I'm not sure when _Wedding Singer_ came out, I think actually AFTER the hideous Waterboy movie? shrug!)
nothing too fancy. I'm not a fan of _The Last Jedi_ or _The Last Skywalker_ or anything like that. nothing too divisive. I'm quite boring. be well, everyone!
I still haven’t watched Space Cop, I love RLM so much that I just can’t imagine them not being funny. I don’t want to ruin that, I guess.
Future review idea. I just watched Air (Damon/Affleck) and it reminded me of the Social Network in terms of being really good storytelling and character development on a business story. Could see you enjoying it.
Disneys fox and the hound gets criticism for being boring with sub-par animation compared to it contemporaries of the time. The movie is great at demonstrating how long life is and how slowly and gradually things can change without you realising - and in such an unexpected direction. I watched this when I was a kid so I thought the movie was just old, and not that the animation was bad due to budgeting. However (and maybe this is nostalgia lense) the rough animation gives the movie a very timeless feel, and plays into the universal and timeless themes of the story. Friendship, growing up, and life.
Jupiter Ascending is very flawed and inconsistent but I love it. Great cast and world building. Terry Gilliam cameo
I also enjoyed that movie too, I didn't understand all the hate when it first came out.
@@missourigreen051 I think there are too many of exactly the kind of flaws in this film that usually get flagged by critics (who often don't seem to suffer much indulgence of genre or patience for whimsy). It has an uneven tone and some pretty hammy acting in service of a ridiculous, at times confusing plot. But so what!
(Well so what, it got mixed reviews is so what!).
I can imagine it also failed to find an audience. The basic conceit of 'fairytale meets space opera' was maybe too odd for teenagers, perhaps a bit girly (for want of a better word!) for older sci-fi/action fans (much effort has been expended on Mila Kunis' various 'space princess' frocks), and probably a bit daft and frivolous for nearly everyone else. The film is camp!
You can enjoy it for that or despite that. It does have an interesting and fun story if you commit. It revisits the theme of huge unseen forces of control from The Matrix with some dastardly political machinations and baroque, sci-fantastical opulence. I got 'future cult movie' vibes first time I watched it but then I also love David Lynch's Dune. I've tried evangelizing this film among my friends without much luck yet (see also: Dune).
Glad someone else likes it!
With Charlie and the Chocolate factory I think nostalgia plays a huge part here. It came out when I was a kid and everybody at school loved it and we'd talk about it a lot. If you watched the movie as a kid it is very likely you really enjoy it
Even though the original Matrix is an almost perfect film, Reloaded is the one in the series I revisit most.
My top 5 Fave films that MOST people dont like
1. Black Christmas 1974
2. Madman 1981
3. Just Before Dawn 1981
4. Stagefright 1987
5.Hello Mary Lou/Prom Night II 1988
And YES these are B Slasher films so I dont expect a lot of people to be into films like this
brilliant topic ... and yeah, i'm sure there are 100 things 'wrong' with Gone With the Wind (I mean, it's a 1930s movie about the 1860s, c'mon), but the drama is brilliant/vibrant along with Fleming's pulsating direction. thumbs up !!
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Suburban Commando, Jingle All the Way, The Core, Conan the Barbarian remake, Showgirls, The Matrix Resurrections, Pirates: On Stranger Tides, The Counselor, Cutthroat Island. I have plenty.
Didn't do the best with critics but I love Ma (2019). The movie is so funny and quotable plus I love Octavia Spencer.
Roman Polanski’s Pirates. Loved it since I was a kid. Walter Matthau as Captain Red is a scene chewing joy to behold
Bless you, I love that film to bits - except the parts in the governor’s bedroom with his niece, which are made even more uncomfortable if you take Polanski’s criminal record and Charlotte Lewis’ accusations into account. But everything else is a glorious delight.
@@b.chaline4394 yeah, it’s a romp. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it. As far as Polanski is concerned he’s a scumbag but a great filmmaker. Chinatown is one of my favorite movies & 1 of the greatest films of all time, rosemarys baby is a masterpiece, knife in the water is brilliant, etc. I don’t make a moral judgements on the artist when looking at their work. If she was actually raped in the scene(though she obviously isn’t even within the movie) I wouldn’t watch it but she wasn’t. She shot not only that scene but the whole movie & I’m sure did quite a bit of press for it. That doesn’t lessen her charges against just that the acts she accuses him of and the movie & scene are separate events. That Joan Crawford was accused by her daughter of abuse doesn’t stop me from watching Mildred Pierce & rooting for her against her diabolical daughter, Vera - or my admiring Caravaggio’s painting cuz he was holy terror throwing acid in the face of a woman and stabbing a rival to death. I’m not saying you’re wrong for having qualms, I understand why you do, just that I don’t
the man who directed QUANTUM OF SOLLACE was the man who directed Moster;s Ball, Marc Forest I believe. I liked it a lot to. I remember my girl friend during the watching of the film saying to me HE'S A SOCIOPATH. That scene during the Opera is fantastic. Another film that gets poor reviews, but I like is from 65 I think ONCE BEFORE I DIE. Directed by John Derrek, and with his then wiufe Ursula Andress. Haunting movie, especilaly at the end. One sequence for me somewhat seemed to be an influence on Appocalypse Now. Mostly negative reviews. Yes it does perhaps have budget restraints, but I love it.
Not that I think it's a masterpiece or even close to the great Michael Mann movies but Blackhat is a very good movie for what it is. I might be a little biased but it blends two of my favourite elements, methodical men on a mission thrillers and Hong Kong. It reminded me of Johnnie To's films like Drug War or Breaking News.
I enjoy Matrix Reloaded, its bad reputation baffles me. It's pretty goofy as you say, but I still think it's a terrifhc action film with some fantastic set-pieces. The stretch of film starting from the entry into the restaurant to meet the Merogvignan to the end of the highway chase is superb, classic. Reloaded and Revolutions should have been one film though, splitting them into two was a disaster.
Man of Steel. It made me actually like the Superman character for the first time. Quantum of Solace too.
wow you sound miserable
I've only seen 3 Superman solo films: "Superman: The Movie", "Superman Returns" and "Man of Steel". "Man of Steel" is my favorite.
Great channel ! For me it is " Zardoz " psychedelic sf-movie from 1973, it was hated by critics and a flop at that time.
Greetings, Tom, Belgium.
I really enjoyed Transcendence.
I liked "Cats". I'm sure it'll be re-evaluated some day.
You may get the gold star for that. Most of us list movies that are easily forgotten because most deemed them poor. But you actually read the instructions, movies people hate. 👍
Peter Pan (2002) is one of my absolute favorites.
I've tried to pimp out my copy of Bad Boy Bubby and nobody can get past the admittedly odd and twisted first half, but it drives me mad because it becomes a completely different film after that, and in my opinon a bit of a masterpiece. Also The Blair witch Project, it didn't work in a cinema setting (how many horror films do?) but when I watch it at home it always manages to creep me out.
One movie that everyone hated was the live-action movie of Super Mario Bros. I enjoyed that movie when I was a kid and still love it. The new one is great too. I hope and pray Deep Focus Lens puts out a review for it.
Yikes, even with the context of the video, i cant respect that. I also watched it as a kid and was totally dissappointed by it. Nothing from the video game was there, it looked like what i inagine a nightnmare about mario looks like.
I was about to post this same exact thing. I love the classic 80s/90s practical effects. It’s so much different from the games but it’s really cool seeing the creators try to find a creative way to interpret the games.
@@heroedeleyenda05 Hey at least it had a Colombian Luigi. I'll take that over Cleopatra and the little mermaid every time.
@@theowlman7091 i dont think a colombian luigi helps your point. That movie was trash
@@heroedeleyenda05😂😂Hey that was the main topic of the video, wasn't it?
Gangs Of New York for me, everyone seems to hate that movie critics and audience’s alike but I personally think it is Scorsese’s best since Goodfellas
I'm late to the game but I have a film no one remembers that I love. 'Pennies from Heaven" with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.Its a depression era drama juxtaposed with bright musical fantasy numbers using period music.I think it's briliant.
I tend to love a lot of the quirky movies that get a lot of hate:
Dune (1984/Lynch)
Quantum of Solace (one of the best Bond movies, full stop)
Highlander II: The Quickening (theatrical cut)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Terminator: Salvation
Howard the Duck
Predator 2
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
Suicide Squad (David Ayer)
54
MacGruber
Jupiter Ascending
The Animal (Rob Schneider)
Lynch’s Dune is so bizarre that it’s almost a comedy at points. However, a lot of it works (the score, Kyle MacLachlan) and those elements mix oddly well with the parts that don’t (the effects, the voice over, some of the acting). I love it, but that’s probably mostly because it still feels like a David Lynch movie rather than a purely corporate cash grab.
Mission Impossible 2. It fails as a Mission Impossible film but as a standalone John Woo film I think it's pretty good. Not one of his best, but pretty good.
Hate is all that film has even seen lately....
@@bryangarcia5599Hate is what it deserves
@@debbiesroommate Now all the critics wanna hit it....
Natural Born Killers is my favorite of all time and people hate it.
2004's Crash. No, Thandiwe Newton should not be saying thank you to Matt Dillion BUT its theme of hate portrayed as this virus that passes from person to person, I like very much.
