Waterworld, The Postman, Tron, ET, Planet of the Apes (with Mark Walberg), Thunderbirds (the new version), Supernova, Sunshine, Barb Wire, and a dozen others.
Go on people...admit it...what are the movies you really honestly enjoy, but that the critics and media hate?
I love Waterworld...it's a great movie, Dennis Hopper hams it up amazingly well, a true over-the-top strong man leading a bunch of suitably whacko bad guys.
I love The Postman...another underrated film, panned widely by critics, yet it tells an original storyline.
I usually base my movie watching decisions on critics reports...if they hate it, I make it a point of going to see it as soon as possible.
Not many people seem to remember, but there were actually some critics reports back when ET came out, which panned it for being childish, overly sentimental, unrealistic (it was a sci-fi film you wankers...), and with a poor story line.
After it started making millions at the box office, critics started to reappraise it, and I bet you couldn't find one now who would admit being amongst those few who hated it.
Who else will come out and admit that they actually like the movies that most people hate?
