"A.I" (I even like the ending), "Minority Report" (ditto), "Heaven's Gate" (it's lack of any kind of storyline felt soooo refreshing... It's a movie where absolutely nothing happens for almost 4 hours), "Solaris" (Boring? Ha!), "Predator 2", "Strange Days", "Black Rain" (stupid but cool visuals), "City of Ghosts" (Matt Dillon's only directorial effort), "Ali" (who cares if I didn't learn anything about Ali in three hours), JC's "Vampires", JC Van Damme's "Knock Off" and "Double Team" (yes, the one with Dennis Rodman and Mickey Rourke), "White Sands" (decent thriller), "Quills" (Pornographic?! Satire!), "Elmore Leonard's Gold Coast" (decent noir directed by Peter Weller), "True Crime" (people took it as a  a thriller, and it is a dark comedy instead), "Boiling Point" (Underrated noir starring Wesley Snipes and Dennis Hopper), and a long, long etc.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Jack Frost.  The killer snowman movie.  Even on this board people think I'm insane for loving it.

oooh, here is a doozy

I love the Money Train

And for another shock

TITANIC (With Leo)

I also like Titanic.

And Batman Forever.

I think Batman Forever was the best out of all the Batmen movies, but if anyone liked Batman and Robin, they will have to answer to the Jewish Mafia.

I don't "love" but I really like SON OF BLOB AKA BEWARE! THE BLOB! .Most people hate it but reading the remarks about it at the IMDB I'm not sure if those people GET the fact that it's SUPPOSED to be funny! The humor is played completely straight-faced like in the AIRPLANE and NAKED GUN movies and I don't think audiences knew what to make of it when it came out twice in the 70's(the second time billed as "The movie J.R. shot!" )
More than one person at the IMDB refers to the sheriff making the same remark over and over again toward the end of the film but they STILL didn't get it! If Leslie Nielsen had played the sheriff maybe it would have sunk in.  
Anyway, I give director Larry Hagman extra credit for this effort since it came out LONG before it was de riguer for every horror film to be BOTH a genre piece AND a parody of the genre at the same time.  
P.S.  I know Stephen King often pretends  that MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE was supposed to be bad, but I'm not buying that. If you want to see an INTENTIONAL B-movie check out SON OF BLOB.  It accomplishes it's mission PERFECTLY, at first being just bad enough that you settle in delightedly for a real turkey , then it gets outrageous enough to make you go "Oh, come ON! "  and then you realize you're being had and the whole thing is a loving send-up of bad horror movies and bad horror movie cliches (DECADES before the self-satisfied SCREAM).
...And I still love the guy who tries to fend off the Blob with a crucifix!

Altman's Popeye.  Call me crazy but I've never figured out why that film has such a bad rap.  Great casting (Shelly Duvall was BORN to play Olive Oyl), completely unique "look", even some decent original songs.

No! The Guyver has nothing to do with MacGuyver i'm sure. The Guyver was a popluar comic book sereis in japan that had a robot like man killing a bunch of cool monsters, the comic sereis spawned anime movies and minisereis and two amercian live action movies that a ton of people hate. And Macguyver......he's someone with "Guyver" in his name.

THE STUPIDS is the first thing to come to my mind.  Screw you, I thought it was funny.

I also like MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE quite a bit.  Always have.

TROLL 2 because it is so dumb.

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME because it is so brilliantly f**ked up.  And it points to deeper truths.  So it's funny.  It's funny and true.

Finally, DEAD MAN.  An anti-western that stands alone and is one of the highpoints of American filmmaking in the nineties.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I lot of the movies I like were already mentioned here
D&D and Final Fantasy are at the top of my list

Titan AE is also up there. I don't know why the people I know hate this movie but I thought it was cool as hell.
If God is watching us, the least we can do is be
entertaining.
