What movie do you think everybody hates?

[Doggett]

Bowfinger

Um, I liked it.

[Doc Daneeka]

Judging from all the threads I've ever read here on this board over an eight year period, I'd have to say "Manos: The Hands of Fate".

I have yet to hear anyone say anything good about that movie. 
(except for maybe Torgo  )

Hey, I may not be the most prolific guy aaaround here, but I think I've made it clear enough I consider myself one of the few genuine fans of MANOS. Again, I think it had a good atmosphere, very dreamlike, even if it was unintentional. Plus, it was made with the best intentions, to show that good low-budget filmmaking was possible!

I agree - I have a hard time expressing pure hatred for MANOS like I do for some big budgeted navel gazing messes such as, say, Burton's PLANET WITH SOME APES.

If you approach it with the right frame of mind MANOS can be considered a masterpiece of surreal cinema.

Highlander 2- The quickening

YES! I don't think I've ever cringed so much at a movie...

Then I'll warn you before it's too late. Do not watch highlander 5! It's not much better than 2.

That's what I'm talking about!

Another vote for not hating MANOS.  It's something I'd be perfectly willing to watch again, though it's not high on my list.

Movies I hate tend to be those I think are morally bad: "shock" movies that exploit cruelty, rape, etc.   Movies like THE DEVIL'S REJECTS or LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT.  But I know that many people love these types of movies, and not always out of bad motives.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I also hate "feel-good" movies that ring false.  GOOD WILL HUNTING is a perfect example.  Again, there are more people who absolutely love this kind of movie than hate it.   

Boring movies are just that: boring.  They're forgettable, but not worthy of working up a good hate (though I might make an exception for HEAVEN'S GATE).

What Dreams May Come.

I liked that movie. I can see where some would dislike the film because it totally flies in the face of their beliefs since it has a Christian like afterlife as the main setting for the film. (Not trying to start a religion debate cause no one is going to change anyone's mind and it would just cause a lot of animosity if one gets going.)  But as they say, one person's trash is another person's treasure.

It's not the Christian stuff that bothers me. Superman's full of that and it's brilliant!
It's the rediculess bleakness of it that annoys me.

The kids die, he dies, she commits suicide...
Oh, man.

How is Robin Williams dying a bad thing?

Haunted Mansion

I actually like that movie.  Heck, I even joined a contest to win the Mansion's deed prop.

I can understand the dislike for the bleakness of everyone dying but sort of hard to have a movie set entirely in an afterlife setting if everyone is still alive. So all the deaths are a needed plot device in the film for the main setting to make sense.

That's nothing to be proud of.

Beetlejuice is set in the afterlife and it's terrific without being bleak.

Nope, not possible --
As has been said here:  "There's going to be at least ONE fan for every film!" -- I even know people who like ROBO-C.H.I.C!!
I like anything with Ray Milland in it, so yes, I even like FROGS -- sorry, doggett . . .
I'm dead curious about PLUTO NASH, as it is probably the closest thing to a universally despised film I've heard of --
I've never seen BATTLEFIELD EARTH, but am yet to encounter anyone who liked this either -- though I have no doubt they exist --

Hey, now, Highlander 2 is GREAT!  It is a classic of bad cinema.   

I don't hate Batman & Robin either.  No, I reserve my hatred for Batman Forever.  That movie @#$%ing SUCKS!  B&R is so bad it's almost charming, like a dumb but affectionate dog.
