Men in Tights, one.

Two, you certainly weren't alone. "Leave us alone, Mel Brooks!" Gets me every time. XD "Did you just say 'Abe Lincoln'?" Stupid, but still funny. It's kind of hard to sum up my thoughts for Men in Tights, but I really like it. It's over the top and stupid, but it's a parody. What else did you expect?
So, yeah, life is pretty crazy.

I kinda like Titan A. E. It does seem to rush through scenes way to quickly though so when I watched it again at an older age I didn't like it as much. So yeah the pacing wasn't good, but that's reallyall that bothered me about it.

I remember loving Titan A.E. when I was in like 4th grade.

One film I love is Watchmen. So many people bash this film, but it's great in every aspect. I don't really make too much of a biff towards Dr. Manhattan and his body parts that people had to make a big deal about. I don't understand how people say 'I PAID $8 TO SEE A BIG BLUE PENIS'. No. You only stared at it because I didn't notice any close-ups or anything like that that forced you to look at it. And it's spot-on to the source material, heck, the film even helped me understand the part where Night Owl shows his gear to Silk Spectre II about the whole 'darkness' thing.

Little Miss Sunshine - not that it wasn't met with critical success, I've just yet to meet anyone personally (except maybe, 2 people out of... a lot) who actually liked this film.

Chronicles of Riddick.

And "Equilibrium".

Titan AE is a good one too.

If the Star Wars prequels count as something "most people hate" then those aswell.

I'm not sure whether to count Spiderman 3, because while I not only hated it less than everyone else seems to and I even think it's better than the first two, I thought the whole series was fairly mediocre to start with.

Oh and now that I think about it, it wasn't a great film or a favorite of mine but I enjoyed watching Daredevil.
Well, ain't that cute. BUT IT'S WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!

Meet the Feebles, no one i ever met liked this film.

Also, there are some of the more recent parody movies I like. Not all of them, of course. I think Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans especially are atrocious, because I find little to no wit in their humour. But I have to say, some I actually do find somewhat funny, even if they're not perfect. I actually like The Comebacks, Superhero Movie and Not Another Teen Movie, cause they're at least a few notches above other parody movies. They may not be on the same level as the good ol' days of Mel Brooks and the Zuckers, but I think it's important to give some good comments whenever they are earned. I could go on and on about how I like my spoofs, but I'm thinking of saving that for a blog.

Oh, Not Another Teen Movie is hilarious. Totally underrated.

You have agreement, my good man! And who can deny how heartwarming the relationship Rocky has with his son is, and how it so wonderfully develops?

I like most of Roland Emmerich's work. Armageddon and the two live action Transformers movies( however the "comedy" in the second one is just terrible), and Superman Returns.

My personal indefensible cinematic pleasure is Kevin Costner's film The Postman. I don't know why, but I've always liked that film from when I first saw the trailer.

It definitely has its flaws, (on top of being 3 hours long) but I still think it got bum wrap for being compared to Waterworld.

Not sure if others actually HATE the film, but always loved "Kes" - it's a sad, depressing, slow moving film that drives many people to hate it, but for some odd reason, it's one of my fave films.

I won't say these are particularly good films, but I will say I got morbid enjoyment out of them:

Dracula: Dead And Loving It - Bah, it was good, ya nuts. Even sub-par Neilson & Brooks is good.
First of the North Star - yes, the live action one. It was so overblown I couldn't help but love it.
Contact - I don't care if we never see the aliens, sometimes a film's about the journey, not the destination.
The Postman - I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic films. Plus it had Will Patton!
Ghosts of Mars - I liked the idea a lot. It could really do with a remake sans Ice-T and the other things that brought it down.
The Men Who Stare At Goats - I found the absurdness amusing.

I love this movie! I never quite understood why people didn't like it, but I did! :)

God, I can't believe I'm saying this but...

Spoiler! :
The Twilight Saga: New Moon


WHAAAT? I thought it was better than the first one. But don't get me wrong, I'm only a SEMI-fan of the series. As I've mentioned before, I like the storyline, but I hate what they've done with the Vampire and Werewolf folklore and everything else.

Zoolander was awesome. Fuck the haters.

Also, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Watchmen, the first Punisher movie, Little Miss Sunshine and Not Another Teen Movie. Most of these I didn't think people hated. Huh.
