The movie only you like

[bholderman]

Maybe here's a discussion to start. A comment by Rebecca got me thinking.

Is there a movie that it seems like you are the only person who like it?

For me, its Kevin Costner in The Postman. Everyone I have ever talked to, doesnt care for it. Me, I thouroughly did. A lot of themes of a post-American government and its recovery through simple communication running through it. Sometime I feel like the only person on the planet who liked the movie.

Do you have one?

I like the Postman movie as well!!

I feel like i am from another planet as well, for different reasons than you tho

Make that three of us who liked it. Your reasons are pretty much mine for the movie, though originally I wanted to see it because I had enjoyed the short stories and novellas that were the basis for it. I did wish the movie had stayed closer to the premise of those stories, though.

The Italian Job

Which version? The 1969 one, or the 2003 one?

The only one I've seen is the 2003 version.. which is why I think I get the scrunched up nose reaction to it

I love it. Great Irish/UK humor film.. but it's hard to get into at first

 

[Netzach]

Tapeheads.

I don't know if I'd still like it, but it was hysterical circa 87 or whenever I saw it.

 

[Recidiva]

Howard the Duck. Universally panned. The Evil Overlord saying "She took my eggs." made me laugh so hard I choked. I was alone in the theater, nobody witnessed my humiliation.

 

[His_pita]

Waking Ned Divine is such a great movie!

Gone With the Wind is my favorite movie of all time. I knew my dom was the one for me when he not only rented the movie but actually watched it with me. I only saw him roll his eyes one or two times.

Freaking hilarious, and that line was THE best in the whole movie. I thought I was going to cry as I was laughing so hard.

I can't think of a movie I liked and no one else did. I'm usually persuasive enough in my likes and dislikes to convince my friends that they liked a film too when the invetiable post-film discussion comes up. So while the like may be engineered, I'm never alone

I think I'm a little in love with you now.

 

[FurryFury]

Hehehe

There must be something.

I'm trying hard to think of one.

Hmm.

Maybe What's Up Doc? It's the only movie I can think of that I have no one else who will watch it with me. Of course I don't need anybody else. I can enjoy it all by myself.

*chuckles*

It's always made me laugh. It's one of several I tend to watch when I'm sick but CAN still watch stuff. Laughter is the best medicine and all that.

Okay, spankings may be the real best medicine but y'all know what I mean!

Generally if folks will just watch the stuff with me they'll like it. They just need to stop being obstinate little punks and come ride with me.

I lurved "Howard the Duck." It was just so kitschy, my sides hurt by the time it ended. I was really upset to find out it's never been transferred to DVD, so I can't get my own private copy for when I need something like that.

On the other hand, "A Fish Named Wanda" did absolutely nothing for me, despite the fact that it's apparently a classic, or something.

ETA: O...M...G... just out of curiosity, I googled "Howard the Duck" and found that there IS a dvd available at this site. Woot! Another reason to work a little harder, so I can get HTD for $20 + shipping!

Salmonberries with k d lang....no-one else I know likes it....as for Gone With The Wind, I was initially disappointed as I had read the book while in hospital, and when I got out they had a revival viewing on at a local cinema so my mother and I went. LOL, my birth actually caused our country family doctor to miss seeing it when it was originally released as I was on my way half way through the movie so he had to leave...he wasn't happy a[[arently as he had been trying to get to see it since it came to town and doctor duties prevented it, and the night my birth pulled him out halfway through was the last viewing for the town. Anyway, I was so disappointed with it after reading the book, but I can watch it these days and get lost in the clothes and era, and Clark Gable, but still find it sadly lacking compared to the book, but that is often the case.

Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis

I liked that one.

Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant are insane poetry.

And how can you NOT like:

"Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar..."

 

[FungiUg]

Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis

I like that one too. Fun silly movie.

 

[EmpressFi]

Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis

I had to watch that one over and over with my nephew.. I LOVE it

"Bobo... Ball!"

And listening to Danny Aiello singing "Would you like to swing on a star..."

just so much of it is priceless

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Waterworld.

I had wanted to see this so bad, I dragged my then-girlfriend from an early dinner over a friend's house in Queens just to make it on time to a showing in Manhattan.

For all its many faults, I really liked it. I just like big-scale, post-apocalyptic movies like this.

Also I'm a sucker for time-travel movies, so I liked The Time Machine remake starring Guy Pearce, when nobody else did. Picked up the DVD in a used movie discount bin.

And I also couldn't figure out why nobody appreciated Doom. The Rock, Karl Urban and Miranda Otto? Dope special effects? Great throwaway secondary characters? C'mon people! That was probably as good as videogame adaptations will ever get!

The 1948 movie The Red Shoes. I'm not really into ballet but I liked how the reality of the main characters life went along with the ballet.
