A Great Movie that you hated but everybody else loved:
its kind of a tough question to say, as I usually tend to agree with a lot of critics on movies. However, there have been exceptions though like the "Scream" movies. I tried to like them but the more i watched, the more I realized how comical and stupid they were versus being actually scary.
Well there was also the remake of "Planet of the Apes" with Mark Wahlberg. People to this day tell me how much that film sucked, but I loved it. Sure, it's not as great as the original, but what remake ever is? Nah, I like both films equally. I just hope the new apes movie, "rise of the apes", coming out next year will be just as good. I can't wait for that one.
lol, couldnt help but reminded of ..
I'm lukewarm on Star Trek myself. Not nearly as bad as Star Wars, tho!
Others on my list:
1. The English Patient
2. Atonement (awful!)
3. The Departed
4. On the Waterfront
5. Love Story
Okay, I gotta admit it, when the guy hit the propeller I laughed too! Thank God I was watching it at home on DVD. I would have been mortified, to find it funny, had I been at a theater!
All in all, though, I loved Titanic.
I didn't like Titanic, but have never admitted it - I bet a lot of people are like me - don't want to swim against the tide!
and you know, there are plenty of other ones I hated too - but I tend to forget I ever saw them, then I go ahead and rent them again because I've forgotten that I hate it and what a bummer, 4 minutes into it I recall how awful it is. silly me. that's why I have to rent 3 or even 4 movies at a time, so maybe 2 of them I will like. I like a lot of the movies listed..
I can't say that I hate these movies, but I just can't get into the Pirates of the Caribbean movies... I don't know why because I love watching Johnny Depp and I'm a huge Hans Zimmer fan who did the music score and the music is great!
but the movies don't hold my attention.
The "Scream" movies are hilarious! They're supposed to be a sendup of horror movies. I'm not even sure they're supposed to be scary (anyone know?).
Agree with you that sometimes classics should not be remade. Even with Mark Wahlberg.
Some others on my list:
1. ET
2. Close Encounters ...
3. Poltergeist
4. Jurassic Park (horrible)
5. Alien
6. Contact, Volcano, Twister -- pretty much any mega disaster or sci fi flick- Stevennix2001posted 13 years ago
0i remember when i first got onto hubpages, i made a joke saying that the matrix trilogy sucked (which it does). However, a million hubpage users at the time got p***ed off at me, and started to not only insinuate that i didn't comprehend or understand the movie. they tried to make it out like i was one who started the argument, even though i didn't even want to debate anyone in the first place. what was really insulting is they asked another hubber for permission to debate with me, instead of asking ME directly. can you believe that? oh well. i guess the matrix trilogy is like the bible on hubpages. you say one bad word about that over hyped commercialized garbage, and people get offended easily by it.
- Stevennix2001posted 13 years ago0 yeah, that's a good question. of course, it's late right now, so most hubbers are probably asleep. however, i got you back might mom if anyone does try to kick out butts for talking badly about the matrix trilogy.
I loved Robin Hood , saw it when I was 15
Kevin Kostner was hot
I remember my friends oooing and ahhhing when they saw his almost naked at the waterfall!

On the other hand, Pee Wee's Big Adventure was awesome
yeah, that's true. i still laugh whenever i see the classic scene, "I know you are, but what am i?" argument. And, the classic, "tell them large marge sent ya."
really? that's cool. you see, i told you great minds think alike. i didn't care much for that movie either.

i hate those stupid piece s*** jacka$$ movies and those god awful harold and kumar films too. it seems like america caters to idiots these days. hell, if you folks want to see others get hurt and get humiliated. why didn't you just say so. (pulls out a baseball bat) which hubber wants to go first to get a beating so the rest of you can laugh at their expense?

Pleasantville: A Really Great Movie
The other day, I watched the movie “Pleasantville” for perhaps the third time. I never really realized what a truly meaningful movie it was. It told how two teenager siblings were transported into a 1950s Black and White sitcom and how they discovered that being colorful and different is not only...
