Favorites That Everybody Else Hates

Yes, but I didn’t like season three. It was too slow and too violent. And the two interesting characters, Juri and Impmon, were abandoned mid-story and never did get a decent summary. I really did like Frontier better, and it was pretty bland.

I love those horrible pulpy Buffy The Vampire Slayer novels. Child Of The Hunt, The Book Of Fours and Blood And Fog are my favourites.

I also count Goblet Of Fire as my favourite Harry Potter book (so far).

I loved Madonna’s movie Swept Away, and pretty much anything she’s ever done musically.

Other awful B movies I love: Rip It Off, The Monster Squad, Taboo and Cruel Intentions.

All of these opinions have resulted in me being mocked at one point or another. This is why I mostly keep them to myself IRL, and then scream them all over the SDMB when I am safely anonymous.

Drumline. It doesn’t cover any new ground, but I don’t see why it got such bad reviews – seems like a more or less competent example of the genre (it’s a sports movie, basically), with lots of impressive marching band footage as a bonus.

I don’t watch Star Trek: Enterprise very often, and the few episodes I’ve seen have been rather lackluster. But I absolutely love the theme song, which I understand many fans hate for some reason.

My husband loves Joe Dirt, and keeps making excuses as to why he likes it so much, even though I keep telling him, look, it’s okay, you like what you like! Don’t be ashamed!

As for me, well…

I love all the cutest, most sugary sweet bubblegummy anime and their corresponding soundtracks. I learned all the words to the opening of Magical Girl Pretty Sammy and all the Card Captor Sakura songs. I am listening right now to “Only One Number One” from the Digi Charat series, and I’m belting it out.

If nothing else is on, I seek out Friends reruns.
I like Who’s the Boss, even though I do find it incredibly cheesy and don’t like Tony Danza - it still makes me laugh like a donkey.
Oh, and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
I own **Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ** on DVD, despite the fact that it still plays reguarly on cable.
I love The Wedding Singer.
I own **Empire Records ** and laugh my ass off at it regularly.

I’m sure there are plenty more that I’m just unaware I should be ashamed of :wink:
And I’m not ashamed of my list! :smiley:

I have a thing for superhero movies. Even the universally panned ones.

Like Daredevil.

Oh yeah, and I always thoughts Voyager was the best Star Trek series.

/Awaits the all consuming flames.

I enjoyed Daredevil. It wasn’t as good as Spiderman, but I enjoyed it.

Now that I think about it, I enjoyed Van Helsing FAR more than seems the norm.

Gremlins 2 - Great fun. from the gargoyle gremlin making a Batman symbol as he escapes, to Christopher Lee proclaiming “I already have rabies”, to the Floor Show.

Happy Gilmore - I just love the fight scene where Bob Barker stomps Happy into the ground.

Last Action hero - A movie that makes fun of itself and does so quite well. I like when Arnold proclaims a “kinder gentler” movie in which he will only kill 1,000 (?) people. I also liked the shocked response when he punches the car and his hand gives - not the car.

Demolition Man - Not great cinema, but Simon Phoenix was such fun to watch - a real baddie, just because. No “issues”, no unhappy childhood, he’s just bad and really enjoys it.

Beavis and Butthead, and Ren and Stimpy - Nobody else in the house can stand them.

Another one who enjoyed Last Action Hero. I think it sank more because it was promoted as a straight film, instead of being promoted as the parody it was.

I’m also very fond of The Great Race and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. Very silly. Great fun, and very campy, but still…

Adventures in Babysitting is another film that’s not really like anything else, but still great fun.

I’m also fond of romance novels. I’ve never gotten into regencies, but the contemporary ones can be fun. Mental popcorn. Of course I don’t actually buy them. My mother has a subscription and I borrow 'em when she’s done with 'em. :smiley:

I agree with so many here…

I love Digimon and Buffy novels, too. And Daredevil.

I also love the first season of Power Rangers. I also like Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy.

Continuing the 'jack, thank you! $10 for a triple-CD box set of this stuff sounds great, and if you meant $10 for 2 triple-CD box sets, even better! Where did you get them? Online, or elsewhere?

That’s another thing I love about them. So bad you can subscribe to them as if they were magazines. I buy mine at thrift stores and then donate them right back as soon as I’m done.

What I love more is that I might be able to come up with a thesis or independent study program based on them. It feels so wonderfully irreverent to be able to do that.

I really liked the recent comeback album! I particularly enjoyed the appearance of Jeff Beck on 5446 and Ben Harper on Love Gonna Walk Out On Me. It’s good music!

I like Howard the Duck.
I like Repo Man.
I like Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

Yes, I have the DVD’s.

Movies:

Mars Attacks
Freddy Got Fingered
Megiddo; Omega Code 2
Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2
Carrie 2; The Rage

I never hear much love for The Great White Hype, which I happen to think is one of the funniest movies ever.

I proudly own A Night at the Roxbury.

Also glad to have Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man in my collection.

Megiddo OC2 wasn’t bad, Now if you’d said Omega Code ONE!!! L

In that line, I’ll add the 1970s THIEF IN THE NIGHT (Rapture-AntiChrist) series.

In another vein, Dan Ackroyd’s NOTHING BUT TROUBLE is totally hilarious- especially the scene with Digital Underground.

Seconded, I thought Ben Stiller was hilarious.
