I've been thinking that the diversity of opinions on movies like this is pretty cool. It's easy to say that some will like it and some hate it. The conversation led me to think of this: what movies would we say are universally loathed or loved, without equivocation. Then, there's some that are so loathed, they are loved. I'm at work right now, and I can't really put my finger on one in either category, but that's the question.
