Movies that were critically panned but loved by fans
As the title suggests, what's your hot take?

Knowing
Cloud Atlas Love both of those. There's a small contingent of people *I think* who feel the same. Both not well liked in general and I have no idea why. Cloud Atlas was amazing and must have been a hell of a time to edit. Roger Ebert, a fantastic writer and the last great film reviewer (Other than Seann One Ball) gave both 4 stars if I recall. I'll find links and add those when I'm not on mobile. |

For more traditional cult followings, movies like Donnie Dark, Dark City and The Goonies are ones that come to mind.

The catalyst for making this thread was "Eurotrip". Not sure if future generations will understand the significance of this motion picture film.

How is a film that made $128,000,000 at the box office and that spawned several pop-culture references in use to this day, a "cult" film?
People are purposefully misusing the term "cult film" in order to further appreciate very successful films and it fucks me off. It's a pathetic thing to get mad at but the term should always describe films who's success came after a period of failure and is owed to a dedicated group of fans. Step Brothers and other major Box Office successes are just that, successful films... |

Walk into any public place in the English speaking West and shout "It's the fuckin Catalina wine mixer" and people will remember it.

Like critically not well received? Because for me the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film is it. To this day I'm not sure how it didn't get better critical reception. It's funny, the characters are fleshed out and there's an emotional core at the center of the plot, the villain is an absolute bad ass and was booked beautifully as the final boss, and most importantly it's fun and very much an 80s esque movie.
TMNT is easily one of my favorite movies ever and the critical reviews baffle me. |

How about The Cable Guy? It was not well received by critics or the fans at the time but has had some following over the years.

Hmmm... turns out Shane Black is rebooting it. Remo Williams...a failed film from the 80's starring Fred Ward and Joel Gray about a guy who's only skill is ever so slightly moving to the side whenever someone pulls a gun on him.

You're getting a film based on the books. Possibly a series of films if it does well and Shane Black doesn't go mental hiring molesters.

I say Clue. That movie apparently got absolutely shit on when it was in theatres, and it's one of my favorite flicks ever. It did so much with so little, and the multiple ending gimmick was ahead of it's time, made even better by the home video final edit, where it just strung them together. I didn't know any of that. I just thought it was fun, and one of the first movies I had seen where a good portion of that fun was catching the dialogue. In hindsight, it was kinda like training wheels for later appreciating something like MST3K. |

How is "The Room" not in here?
I'm not even saying I personally loved it, but I dare you to find me a movie that's got 0% (if I remember right) on RT and still loved, quoted and mentioned as this one. |

Sixx you would love John Waters. He's just dreadful.
You should also watch all Andy Warhol films because they are also unequivocally terrible and hipsters claim to love them. |

Rat Race
I have never understood the hatred. It's just one long sequence of slapstick gags and I love it. |
