Movies You Enjoy But Others Don't (Or The Other Way Around)

Now, I've noticed something about movie-loving communities that is understandable, but somewhat annoying. In a movie community, everyone is harsher on a movie, and I understand why. They see more movies and gain a harsher view when they see newer movies. But they also watch some classics everyone is supposed to love and conclude that they're great despite their flaws.

I like the prequels. I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. It's not as good as they original series, but they're better than many other movies. Now, I can be called "retarded" or "insane" for liking those movies, but what people on this site(and other movie sites) seem to forget is that the majority of the general population has no problem with the films. Normal people like them, maybe even love them.

Now here's an example of a "classic" I hate; Rocky Horror Picture show. It's a fetish movie with Tim Curry in drag... not my idea of a good time.

Anyone else have feelings like this?

I bore my friends and my family with my love of old movies:

I will watch almost anything before 1960 with Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Claude Rains. . .

And yet, not a big fan of Gary Cooper. Meh.

I even love some of the silents. AMC used to have Silent Sundays at midnight. (Happy sigh).
I've never been able to sit through old movies. My hat goes off to you for having a longer attention span than me.
I don't know about that. I think it's just that I'm so easily amused.

For example: a boyfriend loved to do 2 or even 3 movies on a Saturday. But just one of those intense, high action blockbusters would leave me vibrating. I only did a double feature with him, maybe twice, I think.

Though I have been known to see the same movie twice on the same day.

See? Easily amused.
All About Eve???
Yeah, I love All About Eve. I look for moments in life to drop lines from that movie:

"It's gonna be a bumpy night."

"It'll make minutes fly like hours."

"Now I suddenly feel like I've taken all my clothes off."

"We are all busy little bees, full of stings, making honey day & night. Aren't we, honey?"

And so on. There's also great lines from The Women, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Philadelphia Story, and almost everything Cagney, Bogart, or Grant ever did.

Do people still talk like that? Did they ever, or was it only in the movies?
It was definitely only in the movies... I love old movies so much...
I used to go up to all of my friends and whenever the opportunity arose I would be like
"Infants behave the way I do you know, they carry on and misbehave, they'd get DRUNK if they knew how!

I must say that that is definitely in my top 5 movies of all time.
Oh, that is another great line I've got to use! How did I miss that one!?

A few more I use frequently:

"I'm an unholy mess of a girl" (Philadelphia Story)

About divorce: "The nice judge gave me a full pardon." (Philadelphia Story)

"You are wonderful, in a loathsome sort of way." (His Girl Friday)

Going into a ladies' room: "I just ignore the sign and go right in!" (The Best Years of Our Lives) I don't get to use that one as often now; the door usually says "Women".
Who doesn't love those classics?! You have to tell me that your family can at least watch Casablanca all the way through.
I am the only person I know who hated Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I say I didn't like it. Many people I know liked Ghost Rider too but I think its a piece od shit. Plus I actually liked The Happening. I thought it was kind of fun. It kept me interested through the whole movie.
Wow, I didn't see any one of those...
I saw the Happening and Ghost Rider... I liked Ghost Rider... Does that make me a 'bad' person :((
...who said you were a bad person for liking movies?
