How's that against the grain? I LOVE Gilligan's Island. I own the series on DVD. Now if you said you liked the follow-up movies like Rescue from Gilligan's Island, I might wonder about your sanity...  :tongueout:

Star Wars (the whole thing): I know this is hugely unpopular. But honestly, I love the original three back when I was a kid, I mean, I was a kid for cripes sake. But honestly, between Episodes 1 through 3, and the alterations of the originals, I don't get why this franchise is cannonized to the point that it is. Okay, start throwing your stones.

Agreed for the most part with the original poster, except for The Onion. I love the Onion. Is everything they do awesome. Of course not, but look at how much they churn out. There is some absolute genius mixed in there.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I think Star wars in general is overrated.

I liked the movies too.  I liked the overlying Franchise...even The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.

Okay, I'll start wondering about your sanity then.  :twirl: Nah, to me, the movies didn't have the same chemistry as the show, and not just because Ginger kept changing (I've always been a Mary Ann guy myself, but still...). As Bob Denver aged, he just lost a lot of the goofy charm he had as a kid, and it was obvious that Jim Backus was having health problems (gotta admire him for his effort, though).

Shame about Backus though.  What was funny though, was Natalie Scaeffer was in her like, '90s and doing the tv-movies.  Nobody knew her real age apparently.

I hate Dr. Who. Post Paul McGann it has sucked quite hard...

Ok, this one will net me some flames probably but Halloween 3 is the only good movie out of the entire franchise.  Yep, I said it.

Wow. Wow. Wow.  :buggedout:

To be fair, Halloween III is a criminally underrated film as we've previously discussed on this forum. But that's one hell of bold statement to make my man. Nothing beats the original flick, even though I myself am completely crazy in believing 4 & 5 are the best.  :teddyr:
