I absolutely love this movie! Creepy as hell. Everyone I recommend it to didn’t. I don’t understand why.

I wouldn't say I "loved" them, but I certainly enjoyed them. Others not so much....... Henry Fool and Bubba Ho-Tep.

I so much want to play but my wife's curated list of movies I'm allowed to pick from never rate less than 70 something on Rotten Tomato and audience picks.  It's much more often we hate what others love eg 40 Year Old Virgin.
But I will set aside one late night for Speed Racer even if it ruins my childhood memories.

People didn't like Bubba Ho-Tep?  I thought it was great.

Me too, but ya can't please everybody. I do think it was far more acceptable for most than Henry Fool though.

The Postman
The woman was hot and independent. That rock star was in it, can't remember his name.  8)
Long but I enjoyed the premise and the telling of it.

Tom Petty.  In the book he was somebody who used to be famous.  And it was the ways the movie strayed from the book in fundamental plot lines that made everyone hate it.  Like the hot female character was actually two different people in the book. Although I loved the book and was disappointed about the changes I came to realize that making a movie and writing a book are vastly different endeavors and I accepted the movie for what it was.

Clueless. I can't think of a single friend who doesn't think I'm off my rocker, but I thought it was pretty cute.

The Quick and the Dead. The one with Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman. One of the greatest satires of westerns with an amazing cast.

"A Knight's Tale" only got a 59% Critics' Score on Rotten Tomatoes. I thought it was entertaining, witty, has a great soundtrack, and is chock full of Easter eggs. It's one of the few movies I can watch every year.

Mine was Jacobs Ladder.
Plot was hard to sit through and Tim Robbins acting isn't for a lot of people but this movie
had a profound effect on me.

Kentucky Fried Movie. My buddy and I were the only people in the theater laughing our guts out. Of course it was the 70’s and there was some chemical influence.

Is it just me that pays more attention to the popcorn score rather than the critic score on rotten tomatoes?  I loved the movie Nefarious.  I don't think it was that popular but it was a thriller.  My buddy played one of the security guards in the movie.
