Have you ever watched a movie that everyone else said was “bad,” only to find yourself absolutely loving it? Well sometimes, the experts just don’t get it right. Here are 24 films that people thought were great, although they might not have been box-office successes.
John Carter
“Unironically love this movie and wish they’d explored the universe with another film or two even!”
“People acted like it was absolutely awful, but when I gave it a shot, I really liked it.”
Little Nicky
“I loved it, guess it depends if you like that type of “stupid” movie!”
“It’s one of Sandler’s best, the Tarantino and Ozzy cameos, lol.”
“My dad and I still watch this and laugh harder than most prime Sandler.”
Treasure Planet
“The art direction, the animation, the humor, the music, and the way they reinterpreted the treasure island into a space setting still holds up today.”
“Treasure Planet is a masterpiece, and I can’t believe people don’t love it!”
Hook
“Great film, and some truly phenomenal performances, not only Williams but Hoffman and Hoskins were magnificent.”
“Fun fact: the pirate who was put in the Boo Box was played by Glenn Close.”
Armageddon
“The scene where Steve Buscemi is riding the nuke is a cinematic masterpiece.”
“I find myself easily suspending my disbelief and enjoying the kick-ass fun ride that this movie is meant to be.”
Dumb & Dumber
“I love how nobody wanted to call it dumb and dumber—except the Farrelly brothers.”
“The theatrical version is great. Such a perfect film.”
Prometheus
“The visuals were great, there was some really repulsive body horror, and it was somehow even more Freudian than the original Alien.”
“Prometheus is breathtaking visually, and I enjoyed it pretty well.”
300
“I loved it. The creatures, and scenes were being embellished to embolden the soldiers.”
“This made the movie way more interesting to me when I understood he was embellishing the story to hype up the army.”
Wild Wild West
“It’s such a comfort movie for me because it was one of the only VHS films I had at my dad’s house.”
“Incredibly entertaining and rewatchable like all of Barry Sonnenfield’s movies.”
The Warriors
“I’m sorry, but “The Warriors” is not a bad movie, in my opinion.”
“It is a movie of its time period.”
Constantine
“I agree 100%! I love the comic and the movie, all for different reasons.”
“The visuals are cool, and I’ve always thought Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz have good chemistry.”
8mm
“Great noir thriller that makes you feel icky.”
“It’s not a pretty, happy movie, but I liked it because it showed an underbelly to life.”
13th Warrior
“It’s the classic Beowulf tale, with some creative alteration by Crichton, and then adapted to film.”
“Has one of the coolest ways I’ve seen anyone figure out a new language in the film.”
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves!
“Outside of the whole accent thing, it’s a super fun movie from start to finish.”
“It has great actors, great dramatic moments, a good soundtrack, and humor is on point.”
Silent Hill
“It has solid characters (especially Sybil), the graphics are great, and the plot is good.”
“I love the filming, and there was actually a total of 165 sets and locations used for the film.
Dark City
“Got largely overlooked, but the cast and performances were amazing, and the story was well put together.”
“The nostalgia hit, it’s a flawed movie, but damn, was it inventive and interesting.”
Nothing But Trouble
“It’s so dumb but hilarious, so absurd.”
“Genuinely one of my favorite comedies ever. It’s pure Aykroydian madness at its finest.”
Chronicles of Riddick
“It’s such a perfect weird action movie.”
“They did a great job with world-building. The Conquest Icon was so creepy.”
Death To Smoochy
“I thoroughly enjoyed Death to Smoochy, and I was surprised that it wasn’t well received.”
“How could you not love it with such a good cast!?”
The Fountain
“This is the one! What a masterpiece! Hugh Jackman’s best work!”
“The trailer did not do the concept of justice. It misrepresented what the film was about.”
The Blair Witch Project
“Blair Witch was a smash hit when it came out. Practically invented viral internet marketing.”
“Over the years, people have come to respect it much more. I think it was just ahead of its time.”
Shadow In The Cloud
“Great acting by Moretz and all the others. It has themes of misogyny and the abuse women endure.”
“I expect it to become a cult classic.”
Speed Racer
“I just rewatched it recently, and it just puts a big smile on my face.”
“It’s essentially just a live-action cartoon, but it nails it. And it has enough heart to make you get genuinely invested.”
Resident Evil
“They are so cool and enjoyable to watch once you turn your brain off and start just enjoying the action.”
“Milla Jovovich as a main character totally caries those movies and makes them still enjoyable to watch.”
