I liked Showgirls, a lot.
Also chalk up Happiness starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as one of those movies that has stopped people for asking my recomendations about movies.
Cool- I’d love to see that scene. I remember that Lucy was in the version I saw but only for a few seconds at a time and never speaking- always the imagination/memory of Harry. In fact I don’t believe the version I saw ever explicitly said what she died of; Harry mentions how lovely she was when she was naked and pregnant so I assumed that she died in childbirth (along with the baby), but this wasn’t actually stated.
A fourth for Xanadu. I’m a big ELO and ONJ fan. Cut out the not-singing/dancing parts and it’s a pretty good movie.
Also:
Paperhouse: an odd little British horror movie.
The Last American Virgin: the rare 80’s teen sex flick with an unhappy ending.
A second for Ishtar, one of the great modern musical comedies!
I’m another one who loved this movie. Great supporting cast, too, with Virginia Madsen and David Odgen Stiers. The subplot with Virginia Madsen’s character having a brush with death and O’Toole suggesting to her paramour that if his cloning efforts were successful, Madsen could be cloned too, was heartbreaking to the end. Good rainy afternoon movie now.
My pick is Electric Dreams. It was a mid-80s movie, also with Virginia Madsen plus Lenny van Dohlen, Maxwell Caulfield and a talking computer that develops emotions after being doused with (IIRC) 7Up. It’s a cute, quirky little romance flick with some great music by Jeff Lynne (of ELO fame) and Culture Club, and directed by Steve Barron who did some of the most innovative music videos of that era. Also a perfect rainy afternoon movie.
I saw Dangerous Beauty and Cutthroat Island at the theatre!
I’ll take your Xanadu and raise you a Grease 2 
I also bought Last American Virgin on DVD this weekend - awesome movie, the ending elevates the movie from low brow teen sex faire to classic.
Another one for The Postman, and I’m really going to stick my neck out here and say I like all Kevin Costner movies, even Waterworld.
Stuart Saves His Family. I loooooove it. I cry every single time I watch it (usually at the intervention scene and when Donnie tells Stuart that he’s the strong one.) I watch it every time I have to go to a family gathering and it works like magic. When everyone is outrageously dysfunctional I just think of what Stuart would say and I feel amused and detached instead of regressing into a miserable 12 year old. I’ve never understood why this movie was so hated.
I loved Waterworld! Even if the gill thing and the body map thing together were a little much. I still liked it. And the only other Kevin Costner films I like are the baseball ones – Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. Oh, and Dances with Wolves.
My entire family loves this movie. I can’t figure out why anyone else wouldn’t like it either – it’s funny, it’s touching, it’s got lots of pastel sweaters . . . okay, so not the last one. But it’s a great little movie, all the same.
Plunkett & Macleane. I loved the setting, I loved the characters, I loved the music - all the things the critics hated. I might be the only person to have ever watched it voluntarily - the critics HAD to - and I might also be the only person in North America to own a copy on DVD, considering the lengths I had to go to to find a Region 1 version.
Another vote for the following:
Dude Where’s My Car (especially the Andy Dick/Brent Spiner scene)
The Adventures of Baron Muncausen (I saw it when it first came out, loved it and was shocked when it flopped)
Godzilla (My son’s favorite movie)
Undercover Blues (Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner had great chemistry)
and I’ll add…
Baseketball (Ok, not great, but silly enough to make it fun to watch)
Not at all. I liked Daredevil.
I couldn’t stand Spiderman.
Wooden acting, dodgy CG and the main villain looking like a Power Ranger - no thanks.
I also quite liked Blade 2.
I loved The New Guy, don’t ask…
Yes, I liked Howard the Duck.
I loved Last Action Hero. I thought it was clever, well-acted, and extremely funny. I even found it a bit touching.
I remember liking Creator, but I haven’t thought of that movie in years! Thanks for the reminder.
I saw Van Helsing today, and except for the awful sickeningly schmaltzy ending, I thought it was pretty awesome. Especially Friar Carl. But then I am Australian so I’m a bit prejudiced when it come to movies with Hugh Jackman and David Wenham. (I wonder how many people recognised Faramir?)
I thought The Last Action Hero was a clever commentary on the genre.
Probably the most deserving of the “Oh Give Me A Frickin’ Break, You Pompous, Self-Important Ass Of A Critic” Award: Gigli.
It got savaged by critics.
The Razzie guys had a field day.
People started declaring it “Worse than Battlefield Earth”, without seeing either movie.
It’s been voted the 15th worst film ever on the IMDB. That’s better than Jaws: The Revenge, Cool As Ice or Baby Geniuses. Hell, that’s one spot better than The Giant Spider Invasion, fer crissakes!
It. Simply. Wasn’t. That. Bad.
Much of it was well written. The cameos by Pachino and Walken were terrific. The acting was reasonably well done. Would I put it in my top 10? Hell no…but it’s not in my bottom 10 either.
Yes, it was very flawed. Yes, there were some plot holes so big you might be able to squeeze Affleck’s ego through them (just how was Gigli able to listen to a conversation taking place 200 yards away from him, anyway?). Hell with all that – I liked it, I admit it, bite me.
Um…
Dog Soldiers isn’t quite as universal as I thought it would be.
Pi.
Versus.
Mighty Aphrodite.
Light Years (Shut up. I was 12 at the time).
Go.
I Come In Peace.
Serial Experiments: Lain (ok, not quite a movie, but still).
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!
Oscar.
Johnny Mneumonic.
The Shadow.
The Mystery of Chess Boxing.
The Buddhist Fist.
I’m sure there’s more. I’ll think of them right after I post this, I’d imagine.

Oh, and Howard The Duck. And Swamp Thing.
