Some of my favourite movies are in this thread (Kiss kiss bang bang, Death to Smoochy, Waking Life). I feel smart now. :) Anyhoo...

Down with love: It was simply charming and sweet and in some ways had more balls then a lot of serious movies today.

Rent (movie): Not being able to see the show, I loved it.

George and the Dragon: A return cu comedic fantasy. Kinda dumb, TV movie special effects but it was honest and funny, and had a great cast (James Purefoy, Patrick Swayze, Michael Clarke Duncan)

Boondock Saints: Guilty pleasure of mine.

Way of the gun: If you liked Revolver, Smokin Aces and Boondock Saints, then you seriously need to watch this! It feels like a true modern day western and it stars Benicio Del Toro who is a pleasure to watch.

Mallrats: I don't understand why people say this is Kevin Smith's worst movie, it's actually pretty funny and has one of my favourite all time quotes: "You think just cause a guy reads comics he can't start some shit?"

Fluke: Best goddamn Christmas movie ever made.

Evolution: THIS SHIT IS FUNNAE!

Titan AE: Sci-Fi animated feature that I never get tired of watching. Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin do voices.

Secretary: Goddamn that James Spader can act!

Stranger than fiction: A simple kind of lovely.

I don't love "Hudson Hawk", but I honestly don't think it's that bad.

It was overrated in it's badness that's for sure. But then again, most of the films that bomb because of negative reviews or really bad early buzz usually while bad, aren't all that bad. Waterworld for example. I hate Costner but it's not a total waste of time. Still. don't ever have to watch anyone drink their own urine again that would be too soon.

Down By Law and Dead Man. Jarmusch at his best. People here may know them but the general populace doesn't.

I know some of these have already been said but all of these I enjoyed then the general public or friends bashed them but whatever, to each there own.

Pitch Black
Chronicles of Riddict
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Running with Scissors
Equilibrium
Itchy the Killer
Merlin-the Mini Series
Eragon-Sorry I liked it and no I didn't read the books so don't ask- I just fucking liked the damn movie
The Protector- Tommy Jaa is a God among Men and if you haven't witnessed what this guy can do I highly recommend both of these movies. The only comparison as far as skill in acrobatics is Jackie Chan 70's to late 80's Movies(Legend of the Drunken Master) or any movie that Yuen Woo Ping directs or is choreographing (The Buddist Fist,Magnicifent Butcher,The Matrix1-2-3,Kill Bill,Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon,Kungfu Hustle, Fearless)
Ong Bak- The Thai Warrior
Spawn-I am a huge fan of this movie and Spawn is my favorite all time american comic series and yeah the movie was sub par when you look at it now but when it came out those effects were outstanding in comparison to movies then so you may say all you want about this movie but I liked it.
Resident Evil-the first one
Everything Else has already been named multiple times
