Movies you love that everybody else hates.

[Derf]

Yeah, we showed "Tank Girl" to some friends. They laughed all the way through it, and then the next day claimed it was horrible and that they hated it. Go figure. Any movie that breaks into Cole Porter tunes with punk dancers can't be all bad.

Zardoz.
It is such an incomprehensible mess that you can come up with a different meaning each time

[ElectroSunDog]

Putney Swope, but maybe because it's dated....

Paperhouse, because EVERYBODY (and I do mean EVERYBODY) in my family except me hates artsy films.

[JohnL]

>Paperhouse

I loved that movie!

[Neville]

"Strange days", by Katryn Bigelow, a sci-fi movie written by James Cameron and starring Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett. It is overlong and the plot tries to unfold in many directions at the same time. Despite this, I find it fascinating.

Popeye.  

And Susan, I would buy a "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"  t-shirt anytime!

[Fearless_Freep]

I would say  possibly "Omega Doom"

Hard to really say because most people I know don't even *know* the movies I watch and everybody here knows them and usually...will favorably watch them

it's nice to know i'm not alone in my insanity ;-)

I love Woody Allen's film, and everyone hates him, does that count? It's nice to know we live in a society that alienates you if you don't make such funny movies with jokes about terds, big breasts, pop stars, or tom green sucking off a horse (please note the sarcasm).

ps-there does not exist a woman on this planet that likes Woody Allen!

[The Burgomaster]

Chopper2:

I also am a Woody Allen fan.  His movies are MUCH funnier than most of the crap that generates big money at the box office.  BROADWAY DANNY ROSE is one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen, and there isn't a single fart in the entire movie.

[Chopper2]

Burgo: you and I need to hang out one day (we always seem to see eye to eye in our film taste).

[Bernie]

Just caught (by accident!) Zelig last night on one of the HBOs.  Hadn't seen it in at least 10 years.

What a strange, funny, technically outrageous movie!

Woody's damn inconsistent these days but at his best there's still no one who can touch him.

[The Burgomaster]

Chopper:

Well, if you're ever in the Boston area, let me know.

Bernie:

I haven't seen Zelig in years!  The first time I saw it, I didn't really like it.  But after I watched it a few times, it really started to grow on me.

About once a year I try to wach some of Woody's more outrageous movies from the 60s and 70s like SLEEPER, BANANAS, LOVE & DEATH . . .

I think another one of his funniest movies is WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILLY?

[Bernie]

First saw TIGER LILY in the Second Age of Middle Earth (high school, that is) with a bunch of friends -- we actually left a party to go to one guy's basement and watch it on TV (we'd all heard about it but never seen it).  I was afraid I was going to pee I was laughing so hard.

My wife and I consider ANNIE HALL "our" movie (just like some couples have "their song").  When you watch that classic scene contrasting holiday dinner at the two families' homes -- that's us! right there.

[Chopper]

Oh i still haven't seen Zelig yet! the only video store i knew that carried it back home got rid of it, but i'm sure i can find it somewhere.
>"Woody's damn inconsistent these days but at his best there's still no one who can touch him."
true, even though he's still a great filmmaker, i feel his later work like Deconstructing Harry just doesn't have as much zeal as his earlier stuff.
