Somehow, I knew you would post this first. The big question is WHY THE HELL NOT?

I cried during Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken..several times. Hell, I've even seen Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken is enough.
I used to love watching Wild Hearts when I stayed at my grandmother's country house in the summer as a child. Great flick.
I fell asleep during Goodfellas, I think the Princess Bride is garbage... I could go on.
Oh, worst of all:
My favorite movie of all time is The Birdcage.

The Godfather trilogy... umm, I think it's best for me not to say anymore since it's already discussed, but why consider them "classics" when it comes to not caring very much about anything or anyone? At least Part ii was the best of them.
8-1/2 : Who said it's the best in director's career? Don't believe it was me, I lost interest in it since the middle of the film.
Home Alone : That was fun film and likable, and better than its sequels.
See No Evil, Hear No Evil : It's a must see!
(Most, if not all) Disney musical films : Songs are still the ageless classics of all-time, but...
Star Wars, Matrix, Harry Potter saga : You know, this and that. 'Nuff said for these.
Woody Allen films after Annie Hall : This guy never made a good movie since that one, but at least they were worth watching no matter what. Still, I haven't seen Match Point or recent ones

I've never seen the Godfather or Gone with the Wind. I don't like Citizen Kane, Spirited Away, or Stanley Kubrick.

I find The Exorcist and A Clockwork Orange to be vastly overrated.

I have started boycotting watching Warren Beatty films ever since Dick Tracey. Fortunately he had only two films come out after that. I was almost on a roll with Richard Gere too till Mothman Prophecy

I own the first Lord of the Rings movie but I've never seen it. I started watching it one night and turned it off a half hour in...it wasn't bad persay, I was just like "3 more hours of this?! I'll watch it later..." Later has not yet come, I think that was like 3 years ago.
I not only enjoyed Freddy Got Fingered but I thought it was hilarious. And no, I was not on drugs when I was watching it.
I sat through From Justin to Kelly. The whole thing. I didn't enjoy it though, otherwise I would have banished myself from the earth.
The movie I've watched the most times is Addams Family Values. Tommy Boy is probably second.
I've been waiting since forever for The Chipmunk Adventure to come out on DVD. and that day is finally almost here!

I liked Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow way more than Sideways.
