that's me with certain films too like Leonard Part 6 (1987) a film that has been spoken about before i love the film but it is a terrible film i enjoy the hell out of it. it still makes me laugh. it's not as bad as they say it is but it is a film that's so bad it's good so maybe i'm biased i dunno lol

i loved it as a kid but i dunno about now but than i'm a huge Robin Williams fan as well and i think even he hated the film as well.

The major problem with POPEYE is that it goes to great lenghts to emulate the original cartoons much as possible - especially the slapstick gags. While they work for animation, it just looks silly with live action.

David Lynch also gave us "Wild at Heart" with Nicholas Cage.

Some fiends lent me their VHS copy.  It took me a month to watch it as I could only stomach 5 minutes at a time.   When I was done, I offered to give their copy back...but they insisted I keep it.

my favourite Lynch film, haha... not even a Nic Cage fan usually

You are the second person on earth who says they like "Wild At heart"  :P

Make it 3!
Make it 4.  HATED the opening scene, had to see the rest, but eventually appreciated whatever the hell that is. 
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

So much love for "Wild At Heart"

.. who knew?

zombie no.one

never really understood the hate tbh... I mean, it's not just my fav Lynch movie, it's probably in my all time top 10 movies (or hovering close to)

Lynch lost me with LOST HIGHWAY and INLAND EMPIRE. can't get into those 2 at all... IE is so badly made? almost like it was shot on camcorder. nothing worked, for me... my brother loves it tho

John Boorman (DELIVERANCE, EXCALIBUR, POINT PLANK et al.) did the EXORCIST II : THE HERETIC (1977), which is a laughable piece 'o' s**t.

I have yet to watch "Inland Empire"  My roommate has a much higher tolerance for sitting through bad movies than I do..and he HATES Inland Empire.
