Wouldn't the comment with the most down votes be the most correct answer?

"The Life Aquatic". I get the impression most consider it Wes Anderson's weakest movie but I still watch it.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I liked Watchmen, yet the internet seems to collectively hate it. I had read some of the comic before as well.

I know that there are obviously people out there who like this movie, but most people I talk to hate it. Watchmen was awesome. One of my favorite movies. That opening montage? Classic.

Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy

This is mine and my brothers favorite comedy. I'm convinced there are people that like this movie, I just don't know any of them.

Mr. Nobody, anyone? Not sure if people don't like it or people just don't know about it. It has been my favorite movie for over a year.

Hackers. Also, Pineapple Express.

The Water Horse

It's about the Loch Ness monster. Think The Iron Giant, ET, How to Train Your Dragon, or any other movie where a kid finds a creature, has to hide it from everyone else, and then the military gets involved.

Unfortunately, the boy actor is terrible, but everyone else is good, and the special effects were amazing.

Real Steel Magnolias. Where a bunch of elderly women get together with thier B.O.B.'s and bash the shit out of each other.

Ok, that's not a real movie, just pitching the idea to any Hollywood producers out there.

I also enjoyed Sucker Punch, so you aren't alone.

I liked Waterworld and Postman. So many people talk shit and hate them, but I thought they were well done movies and I enjoy them every time I see them. Call me crazy...

Equilibrium, Sucker Punch, saw Office Space when it first came out and there was no one else in the theater...

The Good German is one of my all-time favorites because I'm fascinated by post-war German history and redevelopment, and it's the only movie I've found that's set in the immediate post-war period besides The Third Man. Critics are tied up in how it "fails" as an homage to noir or in character development, and how there are no clear good and bad guys, while I disagree with all of them 100% on the latter two but wouldn't know about the first point. The fact that the characters have ambiguous morals and goals, and aren't very relatable, are huge points in its favor. I don't remember when it came out, but judging how so many people couldn't overcome the expectation of it being a 40s-style noir and nothing else, I guess it was marketed as only that.

A Serious Man is my all-time favorite movie. I'm not Jewish, I didn't grow up in the 60s or the Midwest, but I think it's as close to perfect as possible while being enjoyable, moving, and hilarious. Every character is a real person, and while they're designed to be Jewish in 1967, every conversation is one that real people have. I'm the only person I know who really likes it.

Spiderman 3. It was a comic book movie that felt like a comic book. It was campy and fun.

Live Free or Die Hard. I know the action is ridiculous but somehow Bruce makes it worth watching. Live Free is my favorite of the series, hopefullly they can do something similar in Die Hard 5.

Sucker Punch was awful, except for the soundtrack. It tried way too hard to have a shocking twist ending and be a cult hit, but instead just ended up being stupid and boring. The acting was terrible, especially the man in all the flashbacks who would always say some lame, cliched quote. A total waste of money and I have no idea how anyone is viewing it as a good film.

fenney · 7 months

I like quite a few of the movies people have mentioned, but I know that I like shit movies.

Also Wild Wild West. It came out when I was 9 so I have great affection for it. Also Phantom Menace again by virtue of being 9.

Thomas Jane's Punisher. I found it to be quite good, but everyone always includes it with "bad comic book movies".

Lady in the Water.

If you can ignore Shyamalan's "I am the most important storyteller ever!" self-insertion wankery, it's actually a pretty cute story. Plus, Paul Giamatti makes anything good.

nick and norah's infinite playlist - I am well beyond the target age of this movie, but I think it was a fun movie.

year one - pretty funny, but I can understand why it got such bad reviews - the plot went south halfway through the movie

I liked Sucker Punch.... but if I am going to truly admit a guilty pleasure that everyone hated I would go with 10,000 B.C. I know it is cheesy but I really like it.
