I have to say that I love "The Wall." The music is awesome, then again, what old Pink Floyd music isn't, and the fantasy scenes were years ahead of the industry.
Another I love is the director's cut of the original "Highlander." Highlander 2 sucked hind tit badly but the original was good, the director's cut as great.

I was ranting about "Constantine" in another thread and I got to thinking: There are a lot of movies that I really loved that most people seem to hate and vice versa. I'm not talking schlock flicks or B-movies but big-budget, star studded flicks. For example, I really (REALLY) hated these acclaimed films: +) The Spanish Prisoner (Then again I hate just about everything from David Mamet. But this movie... redwoods should be needed to get dialog that stilted.) +) Leaving Las Vegas (I just thought it was a plodding, monotone that neither descended into or rose up over anything - it just started the way the ended and everything in the middle was the same as the ends.) By the same token I really liked these seemingly reviled films (no particular order, just what popped in my head): +) "Chronicles of Riddick" (I REALLY loved "Pitch Black" and thought this sequel captured a lot of what I liked about it, albeit in a completely different setting.) +) All three "Matrix" movies (I loved every single, blessed one of them. So there.) +) "Reign of Fire" (Dragons blasting the earth? What's not to like?) +) "Hudson Hawk" (It WAS, without a doubt REALLY dumb... but I thought in a charming, farcical way. I don't love the film, but I still find so many pieces truly funny and clever.) So, if you don't mind perhaps losing a little repect, what are you're guilty pleasures or secret groaners?
