My two cents, Blake Edwards Skin Deep, and Joe Vs. The Volcano. I think it was mostly critics who hated them, but I thought that we're both pretty good. As far as Star Wars in general, I think it's good to remember sometimes that G. Lucas kind of took a big influence from those early radio soap operas when he was a child, I think it kind of makes the soap opera element make more sense. Not all masterpieces but you gotta watch em
5:50 - 6:01 Best moment of the video hahaha. Personally, I enjoy Crash, but I find your critique of its flaws very pertinent and totally justified. I actually loved Crash when I was a teenager, but now...well I see its major problems. This film is ridiculously preachy, heavy and not subtle at all in its execution. It is certainly not a great film; but I still find it captivating and often touching in a naive way.
@@Thespeedrap Noah is very underrated. I get having problems with the script (especially if you are a religious or anti-religious fundamentalist), but the acting is so great (Connelly steals the show and I think it is one of Crowe’s best performances, much more complex than Gladiator), and the cinematography is something special.
The Anderson Tapes is generally seen to be one of Sidney Lumet's weaker movies, but it's just such a fun goddamn heist movie with interesting themes of surveillance and the obstacles formed by new technologies. I love it so much and I'll always defend it wholeheartedly.
Love the Crash hate. The fact that even you could not find anything good in it, when you found something nice to say about Cats, confirms my own loathing of the film. I enjoy catching up with everything.
My pick would be New York New York, which received a lukewarm response on release and continues to do so. For me, it works really well, because Scorsese uses old Hollywood tropes to delineate a relationship that fails, so there is an interesting arc from the beginning to the end. I love the way that the motel scene is obviously a studio set, but it is one in which Jimmy is both the director and main star, what chance for the relationship when the lights come on and the scenery is dismantled? People say that the middle part drags, but that's what happens in relationships, the question being whether one can get through that. I loved that the musical sequence is called Happy Endings, leading us to think that Jimmy might admit to being a selfish, manipulative jerk so there will be a final reconciliation. I also like that Francine, after being steamrollered into marriage finally asserts her autonomy, none more so than in her final scene. Meanwhile Jimmy wryly accepts the truth. Is he a wiser man? Not much, but for Jimmy, that's a lot, and the final shot of his smart shoes is Scorsese's version of "Tomorrow is another day". I love this underrated movie : it looks great and the performances are superb.
I mean… Art is subjective but I actually think that Crash as a social commentary is more relevant today than it was when it came out. I actually enjoyed it when it first came out and I perhaps just as much when I saw it again a couple of years ago.
Showgirls get a ridiculous amount of hate. I think Elizabeth Berkley played that role perfectly and that people just hate that character. But this says more about how people despise the type of woman she's playing. They can't stand having a bimboesque stripper as a lead character because they refuse to identify themselves with that. To be honest it makes me a bit worried about how we treat people like that in real life. While I didn't love the movie, I did love her performance and I find it depressing that she was thrown on the rubbish heap with a laugh. Her career never recovered.
Crash (2004) is an oddball. The movie premiered at Toronto in 2004 to massive hype. People were already calling it an Oscar winner at that point. Premiered in the spring to box-office success and received good reviews (not a HUGE ACCLAIM) but audiences loved it. When it got nominated for the Oscars, I assumed it was going to win considering the hype it received before. I watched it and didn't particularly care for it but then again many things win that I don't particularly care for and when it won, it was like a huge surprise to so many people, like how?
When Iron Man 3 came out, people couldn't get over the "not the mandarin" twist. Went back and watched it recently. By far the most fun you can have with a superhero movie. The jokes were the best in the trilogy; Stark's arc is perfect; RDJ brings his A-game; the movie actually wants to tell you something about this character. The only weak spot is the goofy villain, but overall I think it has the most well-balanced tone of the trilogy. IM1 was too serious. IM2 was too silly. IM3 is a bit unfocused, but tonally perfect.
I loved My Blueberry Nights. I think it was terribly underrated - the critics didn't get it at all! I actually ENJOYED the dialogue. Sure, it seems full of cliches, but if you listen carefully, you'll realize that the performers breath new life into those familiar words - I feel as if I understand the old phrases for the first time! Watch it again and LISTEN to the performances - they are really beautiful. In fact, it has one of the very best performances by Rachel Weisz in a supporting role! Those who criticize the dialogue are simply WRONG! They're just waiting to pounce on Wong Kar-Wai for being foreign. The dialogue works just fine! And the cinematography by Darius Khondji is to die for!
@@zantigar Maybe you have a point there. I've been meaning to revisit it for some time anyway because overall I remember it be a lovely experience. You're right the cinematography was really beautiful and definitely on par with what Wong previously did with Christopher Doyle.
I love the Christopher Reeve Superman films but i usuallu cannot get people to watch the 2006 Christopher Reeve film that is clearly the best of them all. Yes, 2006. Its an alternate version of Superman 2 but really it is the true two hour conclusion to Superman the movie
I love 'Resurrection' with Ellen Burstyn and Sam Shepard. 1980 It sort of deals with alternative spirituality, which most people don't dig, but I do. AND, the movie itself, was good from my perspective.
I don't know about people hating them, but the more controversial movies that I love are; Nymphomaniac, The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions (more controversially, I feel 2 and 3 are better than 1), Holy Motors, and most of the cheeseball epic fantasy movies from the 80's (like Krull, Dragonslayer, Red Sonja, Beastmaster, etc).
Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ready Player One, The Matrix: Reloaded, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, The Spirit (2008), Suicide Squad, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Halloween: H20
I really enjoyed ‘it comes at night’. I was surprised so many ppl didn’t like it. As far as the SW prequels go, that was a time when SW was doing very well. There were so many books and comics that were very entertaining. The SW universe was very healthy then. When ppl defend the sequels by bashing the prequels, I think about that, even though those films were flawed... I despise the sequels. The babadook was brilliant
I loved joker, which you didn’t like. I thought phoenix’s performance was so congruent- it never seemed forced, in a rain man way. I didn’t like the ending, in which he shoots deniro, which did seem a bit forced
Every time I hear "It comes at night" I violently puke and die. It did answer all the questions it created. If the movie had presented itself as a failure of the human condition I may have enjoyed it. I just kept waiting for something else to happen and nothing did, such a letdown.
As a Star Wars fan I think the story that the prequel’s are trying to tell far better than the original trilogy the main problem is that there wasn’t enough screen time to tell that story it should’ve been a 4 fillm ark not at trilogy.. to allow the actors enough time to act and not just a little lines. But to give George Lucas a break he wrote the scripts directed the films and the screen plays and oversaw most of the technological production that’s a lot of hats to wear compare that to some of the other train wrecks either it’s Transformers or the Pirates of the Caribbean.
I loved the film Evening, which took a critical drubbing. I could see the validity of some of the criticism, but I loved the film anyways as the complete story of a woman’s life, from the crucible of a crucial weekend, to her death throes, decades later. Glenn Close has a small role in the film, but gives an absolutely indelible performance in one of its scenes.
How unfortunate that Lucas could have served us with the wildest twist of his career, but chickened out of the Darth Jar Jar storyline and went for the safe and boring story we got instead.
I feel this film is way more split than hated, but I honestly have no shame considering Beyond the Valley of the Dolls one of my favorite movies, in general. Sure, it's all over the map, filled to the brim with male gaze, and is very politically incorrect in places. But I found it so delightfully cheesy, that I just couldn't help, but laugh at it. Half the time, I felt that Russ Myer and Roger Ebert (yes that Roger Ebert) just made the movie as a form of cinematic troll bait, and that just added to my enjoyment.
I remember the first time I saw that movie. Holy cow that was an experience. I was maybe 13 and it came on at midnight and I sat up and watched it. What a bizarre film. A curiosity for sure. Years later, when I learned Ebert wrote the screenplay, I was shocked. The entire ending where the dude starts killing ppl stands out in my mind
@@cruddddddddddddddd That's awesome. I can only imagine what it would've been like to watch this film at a midnight screening. Speaking of the ending, I also really dig that super cheesy epilogue. (Despite the potentially offensive "evil came out of their realtionship" line) To me, it perfectly encapsulates that this isn't a movie that's mean't to be taken seriously.
Heaven's Gate is my favorite film of all time. I can't believed it was panned not just by audiences but by critics too. Yes, I know it practically killed United Artists.
I had a hard time coming up with titles for this. I have some movies I really like that are relatively obscure like Meet the Feebles from Peter Jackson. ...and God Spoke which to me is an hilarious Spinal Tappish look at making the ultimate movie about The Bible. Albert Brooks' Real Life. Both Four Flies on Grey Velvet and The Stendhal Syndrome by Dario Argento with marvelous scores by Ennio Morricone.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). I have the same problems with Mickey Rooney's character as everyone else does, but it's enough of a background element that it exists mainly as speed bumps / cringe-worthy hiccups. The focus of the film is the romance, which I consider much better-developed from a story and character standpoint than most of its ilk from that 50s/60s period, and Audrey Hepburn shows exactly why Holly Golightly is her most iconic role. A Troll in Central Park (1994). I don't cringe the way other people do. Even Don Bluth himself seems to disagree with me, having gone on record as considering this film the point where he truly fell short. But there are still pockets of inspiration, where I can still feel what worked about it in my non-critical childhood. Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006). The absolute definition of a guilty pleasure. I forgive the cliche-riddled script, because what sells it is the charismatic idiocy of Larry himself. The supporting cast surrounding him is also top-notch, making the best out of what they're given. Crimson Peak (2015). The disaster can be traced to the marketing. Guillermo Del Toro worked very hard in the press to clue people in on what to expect, but Universal undermined him and now the film has a reputation of not delivering on a promise. The images and characters of "Crimson Peak" are still burned into my memory and I'll never not love it. "Pan's Labyrinth" is the only Del Toro film I've seen so far that ranks above it. Usually my main dissonance is in relation to other critics. For example there are a handful of films from the 80s ("Flashdance", "Clue", "An American Tail", "UHF") that were trashed by critics at the time and still haven't been widely reassessed, but their artistry (regardless of genre) is at a level I'm keen to defend. Someday I'll find out if I feel the same way about "Friday the 13th", "Annie", "Legend", "Highlander" and/or "Weekend at Bernie's".
Disturbia is a guilty pleasure I don’t think it’s hated but it never gets talked about much. It reminds me of my youth. Great music and the characters evoke a angsty vibe . The stake out scenes and thriller moments in the second and third act are entertaining to watch
For me it's weirdly enough Men in Black 3, as long as you can buy the absurdity of the whole time travel aspect, it's is both funny and heartfelt all the way through.
Your visceral, loathing reaction to “Crash” is the exact same feeling that wells up in me when I am even reminded of that movie. The reigning champ for worst Best Picture ever. Or just plain worst picture ever. And yes, I’ve seen “The Room”.
Cronenberg’s Crash is arguably a masterpiece, but not one I feel good about. It’s similar to how I feel about Michael Haneke’s Funny Games where I kind of hate watching it but can’t take my eyes off how great it is.
Jurassic park 3. Fast paced and fun. Good cast.. only nitpick is the dream scene. The matrix reloaded. Not a bad sequel at all. Spider-Man 3. (I don’t love it) But I still like it. Worst superhero movie ever? Not even close. Next Friday. Oh BUt cHris TUcker nOt In sequel. Who cares mike Epps did just as if not a better job. Cult following yes.. but I still know alot of people that don’t like this one and it got trashed by critics.
I recently saw the re-edit of Godfather III called The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Don't recall what's different but it definitely felt better. Not a terrible film although Sofia Coppola needed to go.
Crash has to be one of the most interesting movies ever made. Not the movie itself, but how people just one day woke up, and were like, "Oh no that movie is actually horrible."
I agree about Godfather III--I like it--it's a logical conclusion to the Corleone saga, of the family ascending to the highest levels of world power and supposed morality in the Vatican, only to realize the higher you go, the deeper the corruption. Also, the ending, of Michael, an old man dying alone, was just, considering his sins, as the Catholic priest receiving his confession, said.
To me, if it was just a standalone TV movie, it wouldn't be criticized as badly. But, the fact that it IS regarded as the official conclusion of the epic "trilogy", it's just not that noteworthy of a film.
Maybe I'm biased but I really like both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, they're kinda pretentious but visually and technically incredible and touch a lot of really interesting philosophical sci-fi concepts
I loved Prometheus .The engineer stuff was great and it could been even better with the 2nd movie but they threw it away with convenant.Instead of giving answers about the engineers and humans they just went back to the crazy action movie that all the other alien movies have done b4 .I didn't hate covenant but i was really disappointed with it.
I agree with you on Prometheus; I like it a lot when I just forget it's an Alien movie. It was sci-fi, PROPER sci-fi, at last, that had themes, and at least ONE character going on some kind of existential journey, and also some of the most effective Lovecraftian sequences I've seen. ... not so much with Covenant, which for me, dipped back into nostalgia safety-nets and big ideas that I don't think it managed to pull off. The bad decisions (in an out of the script) in Prometheus are only amplified in the sequel.
Batman Forever, 1995. I love the lighting, Val Kilmer as Batman, Nicole Kidman was good. I hated Batman and Robin though, it was a Matrix Reloaded moment for me....
I do find her bad, not only in a mesmerizing sense, but unintentionally funny too at points, same with other parts of the film. Overall, I still like the film just like you
I love The Da Vinci Code and everyone else hates that one! I loved the cinematography/directing of the movie, I was really intrigued by the story and I thought the action moments were tense and complemented the rest of the movie very well. The soundtrack of the movie is fantastic to me as well and I love Tom Hanks, so there's that as well.
Body Double. when I first saw it in the cinema, i loved it. It had mixed and negative reviews back then, now it's a classic It went in the weeks thereafter 13 times to see it, it became a complete obsession By the way i was already a Brian de Palma fan since 1980
Movies I love that everybody else hates? _Jamaica Inn_ (1939) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, with Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Hara, Robert Newton, and Leslie Banks
I will say Eli Wallach was a plus in Godfather 3 and i bought the movie for him and i do love Diane Keaton . Unfortunately, Keaton has been offered parts in some mediocre movies lately.
I know I'm late to this party, but this is an excellent video series (if you plan on doing more.) As for me I unabashedly, unapologetically, and absolutely adore Only God Forgives. There are very few films in the last decade that have stayed with me to the obsessive point where I cannot stop thinking about them and Only God Forgives is one of the few that has not left my mind. Granted I didn't get to see it until a few years after its release so the hype was not there for me and actually saw Drive and Only God Forgives at the same time and they both rank very high for me in Refn's filmography. It is a simple story but it's a simple story that is told beautifully and visually well. I understand why some people could be put off by the subject matter or some of the rational and constructive criticism's but I just don't know why or understand how this film is so hated at least to the extent that the film has received such a polarizing reputation. It is outrageous and over the top at points yes but I have found it so entrancing over the last few years and very few films leave this kind of everlasting impression on me. I do love it for a lot of selfish reasons and don't find it to be a perfect film, but what works for me in the film really works and I am actually okay of being the only person who is really in love with this film. Sorry for the rant, love your channel.
I started watching your videos because of the Possession 81 video. It took several videos before I realized you record on a living room floor. I like the uniqueness. Great channel.
Alright I'll admit it... I liked: The bye bye man 1408 Emoji movie...but only the part I saw.. ...is 300 a movie people hate... love that one! Spider-man 3
Okay. This may be a real big hot take BUT! In my honest opinion, I think Alex Proyas' 2009 sci-fi thriller, Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage is quite good (not AMAZING or anything) but a very good overlooked film. Roger Ebert famously praised the film as one of the best thrillers in years, and while I wouldn't go that far, I do think there's plenty to appreciate. I think Cage delivers a genuinely great understated performance and the script (while not perfect) is thought provoking and offers a lot of surprising substance and emotional weight. The film is undeniably ambitious in scale and I truly think it doesn't get enough credit. It's fascinating in my opinion. Give it a watch or even a rewatch if you haven't yet.
Godfather 3 All Jurassic park sequels xcept the third one. Indiana Jones 4 Bringing out the dead The relic Amazing spiderman 1 AND 2 Demolition man The book of Eli Hobbitt movies Nacho Libre Troy King Kong remakes Marnie Prometheus Flags of our fathers Dead presidents Return of the Jedi ( Not a widely hated movie per se, but it deserves a place here, since it's my favorite of the vintage trilogy while getting far and away the most shit from the general public) Barry Lyndon (Again, not a widely hated film exactly, but easily Kubrick's most underrated and overlooked masterpiece)
Zardoz! This movie gets ripped apart and made fun of quite a bit. But I love it. Every time I watch it I’m fascinated. Zardoz is a metaphysical wet dream.

Crash is the equivalent to that Covid era video of all the celebrities singing Imagine. It’s made for the people that cry watching the Democratic National Convention.
Paranoid Factoid oh I meant to say loves not loved. It’s one of the few films from the 21st century consistent ranked as one of the best films of all time.
@@ParanoidFactoid General moviegoers wouldn't like it, because of it's length and very slow pace. It's brilliant though, malick's definitive masterpiece. Plus its universally acclaimed and even ranked among one of greatest films ever made and there are so few movies since 2000 that made that list. So yea it isn't a hated movie.
The Rundown Starring the Dwayne can you smell what The Rock is cooking’ Johnson and is also a solid action adventure movie . It’s a light hearted , fun and along the same levels of Indiana Jones and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid No one ever talks about it
Interesting idea for a video I must say. Might do one myself. An unpopular opinion for me is Max Max Fury Road, so damn overrated and overhyped. Just one looooong car chase scene throughout the entire film and next to no character development (my opinion that is). Just discovered your channel and I really like your videos I've seen so far, 100% honest thoughts and reviews :)
The Village (2004) M Night Shyamalan gets a lot of hate, sometimes justifiably so, but not on this one. I was drawn into the story and it totally engrossed me. I was totally surprised by the twist.
The Roger Deakins cinematography is great, and I remember some of the performances being better than his later movies, similar to Signs (although Signs is still much better overall).
Loved Inherent Vice , really liked lack of urgency , incoherence ( at the same time overall movie has consistent non ambitious feel to it) . Though can understand it's hate, as , the plot was driving the character( which we as audience are indifferent to which again ironically serves to overall tone of the film.) To be honest , preferred this to Magnolia which was more ambitious than the script allows it to be.
that movie was a bloated mess - the final battle scene was so bad - i swear i saw the same extra killed multiple times - with an astronomical budget you'd think they could do better
@@NaughtyVampireGod Same here. It was arguably the most painfully dull and lifeless overlong film I've seen. Every scene felt like it lasted forever, and the characters weren't anything either. They thought they were making the next epic, but all they made was a long movie. Same director made The Deer Hunter which was an epic masterpiece two years prior though.
5:50 Great analysis of crash. It was so un self aware and self absorbed. Terrible. I recall a spike lee film called “inside man” that had a scene that handled race better than crash ever did.
This is the most underrated film review/discussion channel on RUclips! I really like these new audience response videos too.

But to give George Lucas a break he wrote the scripts directed the films and the screen plays and oversaw most of the technological production that’s a lot of hats to wear compare that to some of the other train wrecks either it’s Transformers or the Pirates of the Caribbean.
I loved The New Guy, when I was young!
The Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson movie I Spy. I love it. Fantastic comedy. No one seemed to like it though.
The first dune movie I absolutely love ,,,and baron harkonnen the most unsettling villain …
Nobody hates it, but one movie that deserves way more love is The Hidden, a science fiction movie from the 80's.
5:29 😂
I loved the film Evening, which took a critical drubbing. I could see the validity of some of the criticism, but I loved the film anyways as the complete story of a woman’s life, from the crucible of a crucial weekend, to her death throes, decades later. Glenn Close has a small role in the film, but gives an absolutely indelible performance in one of its scenes.
How unfortunate that Lucas could have served us with the wildest twist of his career, but chickened out of the Darth Jar Jar storyline and went for the safe and boring story we got instead.
I tend to like alot of films the majority seems to dislike such as uncut gems, mandy, climax, and so on. I'm cool with it lol.
musicfilmhead90 everyone I’ve shown uncut gems to really liked it
I feel this film is way more split than hated, but I honestly have no shame considering Beyond the Valley of the Dolls one of my favorite movies, in general. Sure, it's all over the map, filled to the brim with male gaze, and is very politically incorrect in places. But I found it so delightfully cheesy, that I just couldn't help, but laugh at it. Half the time, I felt that Russ Myer and Roger Ebert (yes that Roger Ebert) just made the movie as a form of cinematic troll bait, and that just added to my enjoyment.
I remember the first time I saw that movie. Holy cow that was an experience. I was maybe 13 and it came on at midnight and I sat up and watched it. What a bizarre film. A curiosity for sure. Years later, when I learned Ebert wrote the screenplay, I was shocked. The entire ending where the dude starts killing ppl stands out in my mind
@@cruddddddddddddddd That's awesome. I can only imagine what it would've been like to watch this film at a midnight screening. Speaking of the ending, I also really dig that super cheesy epilogue. (Despite the potentially offensive "evil came out of their realtionship" line) To me, it perfectly encapsulates that this isn't a movie that's mean't to be taken seriously.
Heaven's Gate is my favorite film of all time. I can't believed it was panned not just by audiences but by critics too. Yes, I know it practically killed United Artists.
I still need to watch it, it’s had a fascinating effect on film as a whole. And it was released by Criterion!
I had a hard time coming up with titles for this. I have some movies I really like that are relatively obscure like Meet the Feebles from Peter Jackson. ...and God Spoke which to me is an hilarious Spinal Tappish look at making the ultimate movie about The Bible. Albert Brooks' Real Life. Both Four Flies on Grey Velvet and The Stendhal Syndrome by Dario Argento with marvelous scores by Ennio Morricone.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). I have the same problems with Mickey Rooney's character as everyone else does, but it's enough of a background element that it exists mainly as speed bumps / cringe-worthy hiccups. The focus of the film is the romance, which I consider much better-developed from a story and character standpoint than most of its ilk from that 50s/60s period, and Audrey Hepburn shows exactly why Holly Golightly is her most iconic role.
A Troll in Central Park (1994). I don't cringe the way other people do. Even Don Bluth himself seems to disagree with me, having gone on record as considering this film the point where he truly fell short. But there are still pockets of inspiration, where I can still feel what worked about it in my non-critical childhood.
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006). The absolute definition of a guilty pleasure. I forgive the cliche-riddled script, because what sells it is the charismatic idiocy of Larry himself. The supporting cast surrounding him is also top-notch, making the best out of what they're given.
Crimson Peak (2015). The disaster can be traced to the marketing. Guillermo Del Toro worked very hard in the press to clue people in on what to expect, but Universal undermined him and now the film has a reputation of not delivering on a promise. The images and characters of "Crimson Peak" are still burned into my memory and I'll never not love it. "Pan's Labyrinth" is the only Del Toro film I've seen so far that ranks above it.
Usually my main dissonance is in relation to other critics. For example there are a handful of films from the 80s ("Flashdance", "Clue", "An American Tail", "UHF") that were trashed by critics at the time and still haven't been widely reassessed, but their artistry (regardless of genre) is at a level I'm keen to defend. Someday I'll find out if I feel the same way about "Friday the 13th", "Annie", "Legend", "Highlander" and/or "Weekend at Bernie's".
(now crash, cronenberg/spader, however-i love).
David Cronenberg's "Crash" is the real and only Crash!
Whenever it's come up I always have to say. no not that one, it sucks, I'm talking about the cronenberg one, with the cars, that's the one!
I love Cronenberg's Crash is a controversial classic. I only watched other Crash once and I honestly can't remember it.
Read the book by JG Ballard sometimes it’s a masterpiece as well. The movie was amazing because it’s based off a basically “unfilmable” novel lol
Is it less boring than the book?
nothing beats getting it on in a crashed car.
Do this more often, it's fun. It's like Fantano's let's argue for movies.
lmao please don't
cae why
@Mac _ Thank god she doesn't have the same toxic fanbase.

The Babadook was so disturbing and troubling because it deals with pure insanity. I was depressed for a week after seeing that.
@@eddiegalon3714 you have said nothing but the TRUTH!!!, how dare they make that crap after probably 2 of the most perfect movies ever made.
I really like Howard the Duck, the bestiality undertones were exquisite.
Hahahahahahaha!!!😵.....NOBODY'S gonna touch THAT!.....and shouldN'T!.....ewe!
I love Howard The Duck. So much fun.
@@chrisbmovies4448 I watched it because.....I couldn't NOT watch it. Plus, the girl was hot!👺
It’s a good 80’s movie for it’s time that most ppl wouldn’t appreciate unless you’re a movie buff 🤷🏻♂️
LMFAO you beat me to it! I also love "Howard the Duck"!
Disturbia is a guilty pleasure
I don’t think it’s hated but it never gets talked about much. It reminds me of my youth. Great music and the characters evoke a angsty vibe . The stake out scenes and thriller moments in the second and third act are entertaining to watch
Oooh, you're taking me down nostalgia lane. I recall putting that DVD to work on a hot Summer day.
Disturbia is terrific , incredibly underrated
David Morse was scary as hell in that one! Loved it.
For me it's weirdly enough Men in Black 3, as long as you can buy the absurdity of the whole time travel aspect, it's is both funny and heartfelt all the way through.
It’s the best out of the men in black films I reckon. Great story.
That one line from Attack of the Clones where Anakin goes "no...it's because I'M so in love with YOU" makes me die laughing every time.
Your visceral, loathing reaction to “Crash” is the exact same feeling that wells up in me when I am even reminded of that movie. The reigning champ for worst Best Picture ever. Or just plain worst picture ever. And yes, I’ve seen “The Room”.
The only good thing about the 2004 Crash is that it might lead some folks to Chronenberg by mistake.
Cronenberg’s Crash is arguably a masterpiece, but not one I feel good about. It’s similar to how I feel about Michael Haneke’s Funny Games where I kind of hate watching it but can’t take my eyes off how great it is.
Terminator 3. Totally unwarranted sequel (all of them after T2 really) but it's a good time.
Jurassic park 3. Fast paced and fun. Good cast.. only nitpick is the dream scene.
The matrix reloaded. Not a bad sequel at all.
Spider-Man 3. (I don’t love it) But I still like it. Worst superhero movie ever? Not even close.
Next Friday. Oh BUt cHris TUcker nOt In sequel. Who cares mike Epps did just as if not a better job. Cult following yes.. but I still know alot of people that don’t like this one and it got trashed by critics.
I recently saw the re-edit of Godfather III called The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Don't recall what's different but it definitely felt better. Not a terrible film although Sofia Coppola needed to go.
As a certified babe and movie lover we salute you. Shaaa-wing!
XD That's how it's done. If Heather Locklear reviewed movies.
Crash has to be one of the most interesting movies ever made. Not the movie itself, but how people just one day woke up, and were like, "Oh no that movie is actually horrible."
Valerian is a movie i love that’s got a bad rap.
I agree about Godfather III--I like it--it's a logical conclusion to the Corleone saga, of the family ascending to the highest levels of world power and supposed morality in the Vatican, only to realize the higher you go, the deeper the corruption. Also, the ending, of Michael, an old man dying alone, was just, considering his sins, as the Catholic priest receiving his confession, said.
To me, if it was just a standalone TV movie, it wouldn't be criticized as badly. But, the fact that it IS regarded as the official conclusion of the epic "trilogy", it's just not that noteworthy of a film.
Maybe I'm biased but I really like both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, they're kinda pretentious but visually and technically incredible and touch a lot of really interesting philosophical sci-fi concepts
Yup!
I loved Prometheus .The engineer stuff was great and it could been even better with the 2nd movie but they threw it away with convenant.Instead of giving answers about the engineers and humans they just went back to the crazy action movie that all the other alien movies have done b4 .I didn't hate covenant but i was really disappointed with it.
Prometheus is brilliant
What's pretentious about Prometheus or Alien: Covenant? Lol people just throw out that word like it's nothing.
I agree with you on Prometheus; I like it a lot when I just forget it's an Alien movie. It was sci-fi, PROPER sci-fi, at last, that had themes, and at least ONE character going on some kind of existential journey, and also some of the most effective Lovecraftian sequences I've seen. ... not so much with Covenant, which for me, dipped back into nostalgia safety-nets and big ideas that I don't think it managed to pull off. The bad decisions (in an out of the script) in Prometheus are only amplified in the sequel.
Batman Forever, 1995. I love the lighting, Val Kilmer as Batman, Nicole Kidman was good. I hated Batman and Robin though, it was a Matrix Reloaded moment for me....
Godfather Part 3 is not as bad as everybody says it is, but Sofia Coppola in Godfather Part 3 is just as bad as everybody says she is
I do find her bad, not only in a mesmerizing sense, but unintentionally funny too at points, same with other parts of the film. Overall, I still like the film just like you
100% agree with her on Crash. it's everything she described.
5:30 - swallows vomit
Crash is the most disappointed I've ever been in a movie that I saw at the cinema.
You should put the audio of your videos on a podcast platforms too so people can download and listen to them on the go.
Exorcist 3 with George C. Scott is such an epic misunderstood movie that people panned because of how Part 2 did 13 years prior.
I like it as well. Not as good as the original, but compelling in its own right.
I prefer it to the original, it’s a really great expansion on the themes established in the first one.
I love The Da Vinci Code and everyone else hates that one! I loved the cinematography/directing of the movie, I was really intrigued by the story and I thought the action moments were tense and complemented the rest of the movie very well. The soundtrack of the movie is fantastic to me as well and I love Tom Hanks, so there's that as well.
Body Double.
when I first saw it in the cinema, i loved it.
It had mixed and negative reviews back then, now it's a classic
It went in the weeks thereafter 13 times to see it, it became a complete obsession
By the way i was already a Brian de Palma fan since 1980
So right about Crash... I remember when this came out.
Crap.
Movies I love that everybody else hates?
_Jamaica Inn_ (1939) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, with Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Hara, Robert Newton, and Leslie Banks
Sounds like we need this review of Trash ... er, I mean, Crash.
I will say Eli Wallach was a plus in Godfather 3 and i bought the movie for him and i do love Diane Keaton . Unfortunately, Keaton has been offered parts in some mediocre movies lately.
I know I'm late to this party, but this is an excellent video series (if you plan on doing more.)
As for me I unabashedly, unapologetically, and absolutely adore Only God Forgives. There are very few films in the last decade that have stayed with me to the obsessive point where I cannot stop thinking about them and Only God Forgives is one of the few that has not left my mind. Granted I didn't get to see it until a few years after its release so the hype was not there for me and actually saw Drive and Only God Forgives at the same time and they both rank very high for me in Refn's filmography. It is a simple story but it's a simple story that is told beautifully and visually well. I understand why some people could be put off by the subject matter or some of the rational and constructive criticism's but I just don't know why or understand how this film is so hated at least to the extent that the film has received such a polarizing reputation. It is outrageous and over the top at points yes but I have found it so entrancing over the last few years and very few films leave this kind of everlasting impression on me. I do love it for a lot of selfish reasons and don't find it to be a perfect film, but what works for me in the film really works and I am actually okay of being the only person who is really in love with this film. Sorry for the rant, love your channel.
I started watching your videos because of the Possession 81 video. It took several videos before I realized you record on a living room floor. I like the uniqueness. Great channel.
1408 and Matrix Reloaded. I also could never hate the Bill Murray Man Who Knew Too Little.
1408 is a great movie
Reloaded is dumb, but fun.
Revolutions was just bad, and anticlimactic.
Hope Matrix 4 will be good.
The Babadook is quite lauded no?
Titanic 😂 (and yes I saw your other video 😆 ). But I will say, most of it is due to nostalgia.
Jar Jar was funny and was the best thing about Star Wars prequels.
Alright I'll admit it...
I liked:
The bye bye man
1408
Emoji movie...but only the part I saw..
...is 300 a movie people hate... love that one!
Spider-man 3
1408 didn't receive a lot of hate.
@@jesusperez7108 idk..stuckman reviewed it and said it wasn't good.. but I liked it
Bruh how do you like The Bye Bye man. It was so frickin boring!
I really really liked “U-Turn” and “Bad Times at the El Royale” but nobody talks about those.
I think they're in the "underrated " type
Poor Drew Goddard, his only 2 Directed movies aren't box office hits or his superhero movies get cancelled.
U-Turn is great.
Yeah, I quite liked Bad Times at the El Royale. Never heard of U-Turn though. I'll have to look that up.
@@doranmitchell1700 LOVE Bad times at the El royal. So criminally overlooked.
Okay. This may be a real big hot take BUT! In my honest opinion, I think Alex Proyas' 2009 sci-fi thriller, Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage is quite good (not AMAZING or anything) but a very good overlooked film. Roger Ebert famously praised the film as one of the best thrillers in years, and while I wouldn't go that far, I do think there's plenty to appreciate. I think Cage delivers a genuinely great understated performance and the script (while not perfect) is thought provoking and offers a lot of surprising substance and emotional weight. The film is undeniably ambitious in scale and I truly think it doesn't get enough credit. It's fascinating in my opinion. Give it a watch or even a rewatch if you haven't yet.

Still love Tree of Life!
Everyone loved that film though
It's the kinda film I want more of.
@@johnny-vu6rl No way. I saw nearly half the theater walk out in Cambridge Massachusetts. People HATED that film on release. Easily divided t50/50.
Paranoid Factoid oh I meant to say loves not loved. It’s one of the few films from the 21st century consistent ranked as one of the best films of all time.
@@ParanoidFactoid General moviegoers wouldn't like it, because of it's length and very slow pace. It's brilliant though, malick's definitive masterpiece. Plus its universally acclaimed and even ranked among one of greatest films ever made and there are so few movies since 2000 that made that list. So yea it isn't a hated movie.
The Rundown
Starring the Dwayne can you smell what The Rock is cooking’ Johnson and is also a solid action adventure movie . It’s a light hearted , fun and along the same levels of Indiana Jones and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
No one ever talks about it
Here in Australia it was genuinely called Welcome to the Jungle. Really fun movie. Introduced me to Christopher Walken.
Spider man 3 is underrated
When you gonna do a live stream? It would be awesome
I completely agree with your thoughts on the Godfather 3.
Interesting idea for a video I must say. Might do one myself. An unpopular opinion for me is Max Max Fury Road, so damn overrated and overhyped. Just one looooong car chase scene throughout the entire film and next to no character development (my opinion that is). Just discovered your channel and I really like your videos I've seen so far, 100% honest thoughts and reviews :)
Agree 100%. I always thought it was impossible to make a movie without a plot - guess I was wrong.
One time I made her dinner. I ask how is it? She said 5:58
The Village (2004) M Night Shyamalan gets a lot of hate, sometimes justifiably so, but not on this one. I was drawn into the story and it totally engrossed me. I was totally surprised by the twist.
M Night movies suck yeah Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are cool but everything else is just Waaaaack.
another victim of terrible marketing. I was shocked by how much i loved the film upon a subsequent viewing years after release.
Liked it too! Here's an even bigger shocker (to most people): while not one of his best, I actually liked Lady in the Water too!
The Roger Deakins cinematography is great, and I remember some of the performances being better than his later movies, similar to Signs (although Signs is still much better overall).
Loved Inherent Vice , really liked lack of urgency , incoherence ( at the same time overall movie has consistent non ambitious feel to it) . Though can understand it's hate, as , the plot was driving the character( which we as audience are indifferent to which again ironically serves to overall tone of the film.)
To be honest , preferred this to Magnolia which was more ambitious than the script allows it to be.
check out Altman's The Long Goodbye if you haven't already: the blueprint for Inherent Vice - I love both films
actually there was a sense of urgency - but the film had a skewed perspective since the main character operated on "dope time"
I really liked Heavens Gate , especially the " Directors Cut "
that movie was a bloated mess - the final battle scene was so bad - i swear i saw the same extra killed multiple times - with an astronomical budget you'd think they could do better
Me too! I guess since there’s two of us, it no longer belongs here :)
@@NaughtyVampireGod Same here.
It was arguably the most painfully dull and lifeless overlong film I've seen.
Every scene felt like it lasted forever, and the characters weren't anything either.
They thought they were making the next epic, but all they made was a long movie.
Same director made The Deer Hunter which was an epic masterpiece two years prior though.
Yeah, great scope.
For me it has to be Waterworld with Kevin Kostner.
Wait a minute, this shot of you has been mirrored the whole time?? [(books on the shelf)]
No, she likes to read mirrored books 😁
I like Ghost Rider (2007).

Great analysis of crash. It was so un self aware and self absorbed. Terrible. I recall a spike lee film called “inside man” that had a scene that handled race better than crash ever did.
No prequel is as much of a trainwreck or travesty as Rise Of Skywalker
