I’ve got a few to add to the list:
Dogma–Very funny take on religion, the Catholic Church in particular. It has a great cast; Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorintino, Chris Rock & even George Carlin.
What’s Up Doc–Barbara Streisand & Ryan O’Neal in a noble attempt to recreate the 30s’ screwball comedy.
And my all-time favorite:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. Without a doubt the greatest stupid movie ever made.
Fifth Element rocks. The first time we saw it was the midnight showing at the Kentucky Theater: a wonderfully opulent old theatre with gold trim, a stained glass window in the ceiling, and curtains that opened at the beginning of the movie and closed at the end. I was really tired (had a hellacious day), and I fell asleep: but I woke up for the Diva. Awesome. I have seen it through several times since.
I think Gary Oldman was trying to pull off a Southern accent. It might have worked, too, if he had thought Southern Mississippi instead of South Bronx… 
I love Death Race 2000. The whole premise of the movie is fantastic. David Carradine plays the ultimate hero, and Sylvester Stallone does an awesome job as well.
I also love Amazon Women On The Moon and 2069: A Sex Odyssey. Oh, and Blues Brothers 2000. The music is great.
Could someone explain to me why The Bonfire of the Vanities is so hated? I thought it was pretty good, and can’t figure out why the movie is so universally reviled. I never did read the book, though.
I’ll second Mars Attacks and The Fifth Element as well. Those movies kicked serious ass.
Everybody I know looooooves that movie. Myself included.
As for Brazil, that’s one of my favourite movies. Also, most of my friends love the movie. But, I should mention that all of those friends are also film students, like me.
I absolutely loved The Villain. It’s an old western with Kirk Douglas and Arnold Schwartzenegger. Arnold is escorting a wagon full of money and banker’s daughter (who of course is very attractive) through the desert, and Kirk plays The Villain who, along with his horse Whiskey, try to steal the money and the girl from Arnold ala Wile E. Coyote. It’s gotta be one of the best comedies out there, but all of my friends hate it. Go figure.
Is Return To Oz that sequel to Wizard Of Oz that was made in the 80’s? I saw that a long time ago, at 4 in the morning. Maybe it was the fact that it was 4 in the morning, but I thought it was a pretty entertaining movie, especially since it had low-budget 80’s special effects (but, honestly, I still don’t know what material/method they used to animate those rock people…and if you ask me, it looks better than if they’d have used CGI animation.)
I like Titanic. I didn’t find the love scenes too interesting, but the special effects were pretty amazing (with the sole exception of that final scene where the tip of the boat goes into the water, and it looks like a hot-tub; what was Cameron thinking?) And the whole atmosphere of knowing that all the people are doomed, and the boat is slowly filling up with water…I’m not rooting for the people to die, or anything, but I really liked the concept, movie-wise.
I also LOVED the movie The Cell. I think that’s sort of a love/hate movie. A lot of people complained about the acting, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it…I think it’s just a case where you see an actor/actress, and can’t help but see them as characters they’ve played in previous movies. And if that previous movie was a comedy, you’re screwed. There were a few minor plotholes in the movie, too (I’m not saying anything, it would take too much time and it might spoil it for someone) but, my god, the atmosphere was amazing! I’m a sucker for atmosphere…I can even overlook plot and acting (and, in the case of videogames, playability) if something has a cool atmosphere, I like it. The Cell was amazing.
Who wants sliced horse?
I thought ** Patch Adams** was really good. I laughed all the way through it and thought Robin Williams was excellent. I could not believe how so many critics panned it.
It was lust for Jennifer Lopez that drove me to go see The Cell, and I ended up not liking the movie as a whole, plot/acting-wise anyway; but I get your point about the atmosphere. The costumes were terrific and the scenery was way cool.
Here’s one: Holy Man, starring three people whose movies I usually don’t like - Eddie Murphy, Jeff Goldblum, and Kelly Preston. Loved it.
One of my favorite movies is Strange Days. Nobody cared for it at all when it came out in '95 but that movie completely blew me away.
Good Burger. 
Yeah, Fifth Element rocked but the ending was completely crap. The Universe’s super-being decides that what’s missing in the world is love? Sounded like a Simpsons episode.
Worth it for the fabulous visuals, humor, asskicking and Milla Jovovitch nekkid, though.
How about Real Men, with Jim Belushi and John Ritter?
Absolutely hilarious romp about a CIA agent who recruits a nebbish to communicate with aliens and the Russians who try to stop him.
Also, my wife and I agree on Moon Over Parador for a fluff movie. Great cast( Richard Dreyfus, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Jonathan Winters)and a funny as-hell story.
Zorro, the Gay Blade rocks. I honestly don’t understand how anyone could not think that was a brilliantly hysterical movie. The scene in which everyone comes to the Alcalde’s party dressed as Zorro and he keeps unmasking them is brilliant.
My personal favorite “stupid but fantastic movie” is Big Trouble in Little China.
I also get a lot of flak for liking Salem’s Lot. I still consider that one of the scariest horror films ever.
In the Mouth of Madness is pretty hated as well, but I dug it.
I agree with Scupper about “Big Trouble in Little China”. It’s a guilty pleasure – well made, and with a hero who doesn’t realize how stupid he is. Great fun, and I’m sure they had fun making it.
My choice is:
Starship Troopers
(!)
Yes, I’m a big Heinlein fan. I think I like this one precisely BECAUSE it is so blatantly in opposition to the author’s intent, and because of the awesone effects. It still bothers me that absolutely no one – NOT ONE REVIEWER – has mentioned that this film is so totally opposite in tone, philosophy, and credibility to the novel. Even Roger Ebert, who swore that he read his copy to rags when he was young, didn’t mention the discrepancy.
This is no small thing – no “Oh, they just changed it in order to film it”. As a parallel, imagine if in the film version Scarlett O’Hara really WAS the weak, fainting Southern belle she pretended to be, that Rhett Butler was a charmless, graceless honest man, that the South won the war by using their submarine fleet. THAT conveys the utter difference in characters, plot, plausibility, and knowledge of history between ST the book and ST the film.
What makes it particularly odd is that the film is well and glossily made, the screenwriting and direction top-notch. This is so clearly NOT the way to adapt a work for the screen that it should be used as a counter-example in film classes.
The Principal, with Jim Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr. Jim is the principal in an out-of-control inner-city high school. He and Lou clean up the place against all odds. It’s the Joe Clark story, only with the flavor of an Urban Western.
I like Hackers. There’s an energy and weirdness about it I like. I watch **The Fifth Element **every chance I get. Man, the women in that film. I also watch ** Deep Impact ** quite often.
Someone mentioned Real Men… I vividly recall laughing myself off the couch when I first saw that one Saturday afternoon on TV. Brilliant stuff.
So, I also second Joe vs. the Volcano, Real Genius, Big Trouble in Little China, Buckaroo Banzai, and 5th Element.
And a couple to add, though I’m not sure they fall into the “everybody hates” category…
Top Secret.
Rock n’ roll Nazi spy comedy. Starring the all-singing, all-dancing Val Kilmer. “I know a little German. He’s over there.”
UHF
Weird Al’s finest work. I laughed, and I didn’t cry, but I laughed until I cried. Early appearance by Kramer from Seinfeld. And the world’s best jilted-lover answering-machine message.
Joe’s Apartment
Singing, dancing cockroaches, and the world’s biggest slob. So disgusting, it’s funny. And some great production numbers.
I hate the fact that I loved Howard the Duck.
Return to Oz was wonderful. I read the entire Oz series as a kid, and it was so refreshing to see a “Dorothy” who was actually a child and an Oz that matched the books more closely. Oh, and Claymation[TM] was the technology used to create the gnomes, I think.
I love the movie Hard Core Logo. Everyone I’ve shown it to hates it though.
I’ll add yet another vote for Zorro: The Gay Blade, and add Love at First Bite. George Hamilton is the absolute funniest… George Hamilton of them all. Okay, so there’s not so many, but there should be.
Oh, and Krull and Hudson Hawk are on my list as well.
I’ll also kick in Volunteers with Tom Hanks and Jim Candy. It’s a dippy, stupid movie, but there’s something about it I just love.
I have to go now, time is opiu… uhhhh, money.
Ok, I guess I’m the guy who likes the worst movies cause I own a large number of the movies on the list:
Hudson Hawk
Krull
Howard the Duck (come on it’s a duck that knows karate)
Phantom menace
12 Monkey’s
bunch of others too but I don’t wanna open another window to re-read the posts. I would like to add Army of Darkness, now I know you are going to say “What a great movie that doesn’t belong on this list” but I finally convinced my friends to watch it, now I don’t get a choice whenever we rent movies. I also really liked blade runner and all my friends thought it sucked, but I think that might have done well with critics
