Here are my picks: Movies universally loathed or loved ..... The Sound Of Music springs to mind, especially since in its day some called it "The Sounf Of Money" Movies that are so loathed, they are loved ..... Queen Of Outer Space or Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? FRANC

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.

That's when I stopped paying much attention to the Oscars. -- JR Richard Halegua Comic Art wrote: the answer is simple.... the awards are not entirely accomplishment based. They are frequently an emotional response by the members of the Academy who are unable to compartmentalize their emotions from their intellect, and so you get results that are not necessarily in line with truly award-caliber films.
