I really liked The Mystery Men. Except for the part where Ben Stiller blows bloody kleenex out of his nose, it was note perfect! “We’ve got a date with destiny tonight–and it looks like she’s ordering the lobster!”
Dumb and Dumberer.
I think it was the bus.
Hudson Hawk, every one of the recent Marvel movies, including daredevil, Hulk, and the Punisher.
- Undercover Blues*
Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner, two retired spies who have a baby, and are called out of retirement for one last job. Stanley Tucci is the street thug who continually tries to get his revenge. Funny,
Very funny, and has some really good lines:
Jane Blue: You brought our baby into a knife fight?
Jeff Blue: It was a fair fight. Two of them, two of us…
Dangerous Beauty
A beautifully done (based on a true story) story of a courtesean in 16th century Venice, and her rise and fall from grace. Catherine McCormack and Oliver Platt were amazing.
No one saw it in the theaters, but everyone I’ve shown the DVD to has loved it.
Cutthroat Island
Over the top pirate movie. Matthew Modine and Geena Davis were fun, and the movies is mindless explosions and sword-fights. Good for a late night popcorn fest.
Creator- a bomb from the mid-80s starring Peter O’Toole as an aging biologist obsessed with cloning his long-dead wife and Mariel Hemingway as the young girl he falls for when he asks for an egg. It was panned, ignored and I rarely meet anybody who’s heard of it, but I really enjoyed it and, as in My Favorite Year, O’Toole actually acted for a change rather than his usual coasting-for-major-bucks like he so often does. The movie was about 10-15 years too early but could be remade really well today.
I second Postman. Man that movie was hated…but I liked it.
I would also second Ishtar but, like the other poster, realize that people no longer bash it as atrocious. Man I enjoyed that movie when I saw it the first time in the theater 
I liked The Avengers (the one with Ralph Fiennes). Okay, so it wasn’t Oscar quality, but I thought it was entertaining.
You’re not the only one – I love this. I’ve got it on Video (I haven’t seen it on DVD yet) and have introduced others to it. It’s good SF with no special effects and with witty writing(a lot of people would protest that it’s not SF – but what else can you call a movie that revolves around a Nobel Laureate trying to clone his wife?) It also is the only flick I’ve seen where grad school looks and feels like a grad school.
Read the original novel by Jeremy Levin (who wrote the screenplay) – very different, but worth it.
BTW – when they ran this on TV it had a scene missing from the theatrical release. It’s Harry and his wife Lucy at the amusement park back at the beginning of their marriage.
I liked this one too. I also liked The Specials which has a similar plot (loser superhero group) and I think must have gone straight to cable.
I like Xanadu.
I think Blade 2 is far superior to the original.
Six String Samurai is a fantastic post-apocalyptic rock ‘n’ roll movie, like an anime come to life! (Of course, it is extremely low-budget.)
Batman: Mask Of the Phantasm (the animated feature-length film) is the best Batman movie of all time, until this new one comes along.
Iron Monkey and Legend Of Drunken Master are just two of the many martial arts films that are more entertaining than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
The Last Boy Scout (Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans), Showdown In Little Tokyo (Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren), and Hard Target (Van Damme directed by John Woo) are all terribly underrated action films.
But sorry, I think Tombstone is way better than Wyatt Earp. 
Ditto. Oops, that makes two of us. Great music by ELO.
There are people who didn’t like these two?
I mean, SSS isn’t for everyone, but those who would bother to seek it out tend to like it, in my limited experience.
Death to Smoochy - Any film with ice skating Nazi midgets deserves an Oscar.
Xanadu - I loved this film, but in a Plan 9/Robot Monster sort of way. I couldn’t tear myself away, it was so brilliantly bad.
I dragged a friend with me to see SSS in the theater, during an extremely-limited engagement. He despised it.
And I believe Mask of the Phantasm was a colossal box office bomb, but I could be wrong. Too bad, because it’s awesome!
I third The Postman I usually don’t like Kevin Costner but that movie was good , dang it!
I loved Disney’s version of The Black Cauldron when I was a kid, and was quite surprised when I was a bit older and found that it was pretty widely disliked.
Of course, I haven’t seen it in years and years, so I don’t know what I’d think today, so I don’t know if that counts…
I loved this movie! I actually own it on DVD. I had the same experience you did - everybody I saw it in the theater with loved it, nobody else really seemed to. OH well, more Smoochy for us!
Me too/three/however many for The Postman, Hulk, Daredevil, **Cutthroat Island ** and Godzilla (assuming you mean the Devlin/Emmerich one?)
And I’d like an honourable mention for:
**LXG ** and Underworld
And I own on DVD Episode 1 and 2. I did not buy them for an imaginary child relation. I bought them because I liked them.
Oh, dude, I would have completely agreed with you four days ago, but I just happened to get the movie from Netflix for the weekend - I had great memories…and then I started watching it. I realized that the constant voice overs that helped explain the movie to me when I was young were now just…tiresome. The special effects just don’t hold up 20 years later. My husband laughed at me. I felt ashamed. I did, however, enjoy looking for the scenes that just screamed David Lynch - the arrangement, the timing, the cinematography. And the story is still badass.
My contribution? Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, since we’re talking about D. Lynch…
