Movies you liked that everyone else hated

The Fan is great, love it

I love Swingers, and everyone I talk too says it is stupid.

Okay, here's a story about what we'll accept and what we'll say is stupid in a movie-- "Air Force One" and "Face/Off" came out the same summer and I remember thinking "Air Force One" was just idiotic because the whole plot hinged on a Secret Service guy turning coat and in reality, that's one of the reasons they always travel in pairs-- so one of them never has the opportunity to betray his charges. So the whole movie was based on something that could never happen.

Mind you, I was perfectly willing in "Face/Off" to accept Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switching faces and no one noticing anything, not even the WIFE of Travolta's character.

Maybe I just like John Woo films.

I hated "Air Force One." Actually, I hate almost everything Harrison Ford has done in the past fifteen years. Especially "Regarding Henry."

I like Harrison Ford...but he's never come close to Blade Runner, then again...he's never had such a script!

I like "Blade Runner," too. The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens has the model they used for the outside of that building... you know... that building, with all the lights...

Seattle, I have to admit I have a preference for Woo films with Chow Yun-Fat in them... too cool for school. Loved "The Killer."

Face Off is a great flick, makes you think

Since we are bumping threads thought this was a good one. I really liked Clea DuVall in Wildflowers, a chic flick but I loved it.

GR if you love John Woo movies go check out Blackjack with Dolph Lundgren with some hott blonde chic, and I think Shaft plays the boss
