The worst movies that you liked.

I *loved * this terrible movie, and TV show.

I also loved Solarbabies

[QUOTE=Mosier]
But the WORST movie I ever liked was First Knight. I remember excitedly chattering about it to a friend of mine, basically telling the whole plot. Except that when we finally watched it, I realized I had made up the whole thing. I specifically remembered lines that weren’t even IN the movie. I blame an overwhelming subconscious desire to like Connery (even though he may be the worst “big” actor of all time) and the medeival fantasy setting. I’ve never been so embarassed to see a movie as I was then.

I LOVE First Knight! I cry (a lot) at the end every time I see it. I, too, imagine lines that are not actually in the movie. “Look at the trees, it’s an ambush!”

I’m sure there are hundreds, but the first one to come to mind was Roadhouse.

[QUOTE=Priceguy]
I still like Dragonheart, but I take it that we’re talking about movies that we liked at first viewing and now think suck. Well, I loved Superman (the first Christopher Reeve one) when I was a kid and when I rewatched it as an adult it sucked royally (I even started a Cafe Society thread about it). I’m guessing there are a lot of movies I loved as a kid that I would now simply shake my head at. Not a movie, but V comes to mind.

Wait… You think Dragonheart is good and Superman Sucked?

Me am now in Bizarro world.
ME think Godfather am worst movie and MAd Max beyond Thurderdomes suckage factor decrease over year!

HA HA HA HA

Me also think Challenge of Superfriends get much better with age and plots make big sense!

HA HA HA HA!

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It may be the Sean Connery factor at work, but I wasn’t bothered a bit by giant submarines in Venice, cars, vampires that weren’t vampires in the source, Tom Sawyer or the utter predictability of the plot. It was good clean fun.

DragonheartRoadhouse… those weren’t well-liked? I loved them!

I really, really enjoy Waterworld, with Kevin Costner. Also with him, The Postman. For some reason, no one I’ve met seems to like them. Am I alone?

No. I came into this thread to post those very two movies.

Hey - Waterworld is like the coolest movie EVER when you’re 6 years old. I’ll still watch it whenever it comes on TNT.

King Ralph, but I saw it at a dollar theater. Mama Zappa and I saw it for less than $8 total (before babysitters were a factor). At that price it’s a funny movie.

We saw Joe Versus the Volcano when we needed some brain dead entertainment. Fun at the time, but not such a good movie.

Nice Girls Don’t Explode is, IMNSHO, a fun and funny little movie that does not take itself too seriously. I still love it! I don’t know if it was ever in the theaters.

“Dear Mom - BOOM!!” :smiley:

Willow.

Is Roadhouse the Patrick Swayze “Manliest Movie Ever” containing dialogue gems such as the following:

Nurse (looking at Swayze’s scars): Do you ever win a fight?
Swayze: Nobody ever wins a fight.

Nurse (when Swayze refuses painkiller): Do you like pain?
Swayze: Pain doesn’t hurt.

I don’t mind Waterworld, but I actively like The Postman. Started a Cafe Society thread about it when I first saw it, and as it turns out, we’re not alone.

Yes, kingpengvin, I do like Dragonheart (seriously, what’s wrong with it?) and Superman does suck. Apart from the music, it’s just a pile of nonsense.

Joe vs. the Volcano

Mad Dog Time, a.k.a. Trigger Happy. I don’t know anyone else who has even seen the film, but when I saw it, I loved loved LOVED it!

In the times I’ve watched it since, I still like it, but can’t for the life of me figure out why I nominated it as one of my all-time favorites.

I caught it on TNT the other day. Was watching and wondered “whatever became of the little girl in the film?” Looked her up on IMDB. Hey, it’s Deb from Napoleon Dynamite.

The Fearless Vampire Killers. I remember having a few laughs when I saw it originally, later all I enjoyed was Sharon Tate’s cleavage.

I may be wrong but I think the line is even *worse *than that. Isn’t it: Pain don’t hurt.

(OK, I can’t explain why that is a worse line than Pain doesn’t hurt, but somehow it seems so to me.)

The Postman.

For some reason I STILL like that show and think it is fine. :slight_smile:

Of course it is smarmy…and Costner’s character knows it is. But for the young ens who grew up without hope and latched onto the idea…it was a Godsend. I could see it happening exactly like that.

:slight_smile:

Beowulf with Christopher Lambert
Set sometime probably in the future, maybe on another planet, uh… the plot kind of falls apart after that, but it’s great fun!

…but grammar do. :slight_smile:

Joe vs. The Volcano is a great movie!

When it came out (possibly direct to video), I thought “My Demon Lover” was a pretty funny movie. Now it’s just painful to watch. The girl was cute, though.
