Hated Films You Love

I liked Exorcist 2: The Heretic better than the original.

I'd define this category by any maligned movie I've watched five or six times a year for the past decade. With that criterion, I'd go with:

1)  Dune
2)  Killer Klowns from Outer Space
3)  The Terror from Tiny Town
4)  Dead Space (the 80's remake of "Forbidden World")
5)  Dark Star
6)  Gnaw: Food of the Gods Part ll
7)  Howard the Duck
8)  The Hitman (Chuck Norris)
9)  Lifeforce
10) Zontar, the Thing from Venus

As my top ten.

I'm one of the rare few who seems to like Highlander II.

I like it, too, in fact better than the original. Michael Ironsides is over the top, and Virginia Madsen is the best looking woman in Hollywood since Marilyn Monroe. So what's not to like except for Christopher Lambert, who just can't seem to bring any conviction to his roles.

Halloween 3- This is the best film in the series and one of the best films ever made.
Howard the Duck- I am a fan of the comics, so I understand the hate, but it's too seeded in my childhood.
Dune- The author himself said it was good, I think that's all that matters.


As for the filmographies of Edward Wood Jr. and Andy Milligan. I think these men deserve more than they're credited for. There is a certain surreal quality to there films that has always striked curiosity and emotion out of me. I take their films far more seriously than M. Night Shamalan's, that's for sure.

Beyond the first HALLOWEEN,this too is my favorite in the series.

I really enyoy ASTRO ZOMBIES. I love John Carradies scientific babble nonsense.
And the goofy monsters running around with flashlights held to there foreheads,of course.
Oh yeah-Tura Santana!

Indeed.  If you actually pay close attention to Plan 9, it's not as dumb as it's made out to be, and Bride of the Monster is every bit as good as some of the big studios' b-pictures made around the same time.  Ed Wood was not a complete hack.

I actually didn't mind Friday the 13th part V, either. It wasn't my favorite, but I didn't hate it. Heck, I even kind of like part VIII in the same way that one can't really hate an adorable-but-kind-of-retarded puppy that just threw up in front of the bedroom door.

My contribution to this thread: Repo! The Genetic Opera. Yes, I know the plot was both shallow and convoluted and yes, I'm aware that it simply being an opera and not a musical can grate on people. But you know what? I liked the style of the movie, I liked the idea a whole lot (repossessing organs is an extreme if somewhat illogical response to a society that increasingly views the body as a commodity), I love the music (for the most part), and yes, I kind of liked the characters. But I realize that it's definitely not a movie everyone is going to like, and unlike some of the haters I've seen, I don't view other people's dislike of the movie as an accurate means of measuring their taste/intelligence.
