  • "Bad" movies that you actually really like.

    Tell me I'm not alone. I just found out one of my favorite films (Mona Lisa Smile) is a scant 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. I wouldn't even call it a guilty pleasure; it's not earth-shattering cinema but it's not bad at all... or so I thought.

    I enjoyed The Postman. Rather a lot, actually.

      I can't explain why, but I always liked "Most Wanted" with Kennen Ivory Wayans. Had a fun B-move vibe to it.
      I'm never wrong. Reality is just stubborn.

        All About Steve and Surviving Christmas, very funny if flawed comedies, almost universally hated by critics -- both rated 7% on rotten tomatoes

            That movie isn't bad at all.

              If you like a film then it isn't bad. It's why I never understand people who admit to liking "naff" music. Taste is subjective.

                  I don't know how you all sat through that scene in the Postman where he picks up the kid's letter and gets bronzed. For my money it doesn't get much more pretentious than that, how can anyone take that seriously?

                  Mind you, some of the locations were nice.

                      Drag Me to Hell? It was universally acclaimed when it came out. Had like 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

                      For some weird reason I have a soft spot for Gone in 60 Seconds. Whenever I see it on TV I just can't change the channel.

                        REALLY?!! 90%? Movie sucked so bad that I actually liked it.

                        "universally acclaimed" mind-boggling. go figure.

                            I took the question as being a movie that's been labelled 'bad' by critics, but that you still loved.
