And after reading the thread, I have to say this:
Boondock Saints and Scarface are two movies that many people claim to like because they are afraid to be ostracized by their friends for admitting that they aren't good and may, in fact, suck.
There's a lot of that.
Like Christmas music. I hate most Christmas music, even around the holidays. When I express this, people are like, "Oh my god!! What's wrong with you??!!" My response: "I fricking have taste, bitch. Now gimme some more eggnog, with double the whiskey."
But I can be an a-hole.

Basically which movies does it seem like everyone around you loves that you're not so high on.
Braveheart.
I thought it was ok. Didn't see what all the fuss was about. Thought the Patriot and Gladiator were much much better movies.

Great reviews? It was widely panned upon release and currently sits in the bottom 100 on imdb.

Along the same lines I prefer Casino to Goodfellas, and prefer Departed to both.

Traffic - although i don't know many people who like it, it's highly rated by some
I agree on all of these except Lebowski and NCFOM.
NCFOM is one of my favorite movies.

Gone With The Wind was an absolute misery to sit through.

I am a coen bros. Fan but I didn't love big lebowski. Some of the characters and scenes were awesome but I thought the movie dragged on about 20 minutes too long. I liked the first half and was kinda meh on the second half.

I'm with you on this one Broseph.
My 2 are Mulholland Drive and There Will Be Blood.

Kind of agree with not being "As Big a Fan as Most" on these from page one:
The original version was better than the one most see now. The movie seemed better t6o me when I was younger.
Friday(1st one) is the only watchable one. I do think it is really funny and realistic.
Really enjoyed it for the action scenes, especially the 'entering the building"' one when it came out. Didn't enjoy either sequel. Don't enjoy watching them now.
Have never figured out what people like about it.
and I'll add:
Gangs of New York (not a bad movie but too cartoon like/The Warriors like to take serious)

As for Boondock Saints, that's not what happened with me at all. I had never heard of it until a few years ago when my girlfriend at the time said I HAD to see it, and I loved it.
I seriously want to fight some people in this thread:
Shitting on Braveheart, Shawshank, Assassination of Jesse James by Robert Ford?? Some of my favorite movies ever. frick y'all!
My entry is probably Raging Bull. I never really enjoyed it too much. And I'm a boxing fanatic obsessed with boxing history who loves Robert De Niro as an actor so I have every reason to love that movie.
As for those saying they prefer Casino to Goodfellas. I prefer Donnie Brasco over both.

from page three:
I agree with this wholeheartedly. Grandma's Boy is great and I can watch it every time it's showing.
