Movies nobody dislikes

dark crystal

Kind of as an antithesis to the other thread in which boardsies declared their dislike for films which are usually highly rated, I got the idea to start a thread about films which are universally loved by everyone. Which films in your opinion have never been received badly. By anyone.


I'll start by saying 'Back to the Future' and 'Silence of the Lambs'.


Never met anyone who didn't like either of those films.

Arghus

Raiders of The Lost Ark.

And if you are one of those flutes who thinks they don't like it, well, then you are mistaken.

This is an interesting topic.

For me, the one that springs to mind straight away is the one your mom was in. It really captured audiences. Gripping viewing.

Thanks, she's real proud of it

The Shawshank Redemption.

Anyone who doesn't feel good when at the end Morgan Freeman says "Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of **** and came out clean on the other side" has no soul.

A few people on the other thread mentioned this masterpiece


True Romance would be another film I've never heard anyone say a bad word about.

Theres a difference between simply not liking it and chucking nerd tantrums and demanding rewrites and remakes and canon fidelity and all that utter ballsacks. As an auld adventure movie with decent effects, s'grand like.

I would say nobody dislikes Beverly Hills Cop.

Home alone, die hard, durty harry

Toy Story.

Anyone that I ever met that was in any way negative towards it always turned out to have never watched it, "it's for kids!"

I've never met anyone who has seen it and still doesn't like it.

dark crystal

I know it's still months away, but surely everyone loves the Christmas films Home Alone and Die Hard?


*edit; someone already beat me to it!

Aliens.

Though, in fairness, I did have one housemate that didn't like it because he didn't like anything to do with "space."

Though, also in fairness, he was a fucking idiot.

My OH's favourite film - can't say I liked any of the Alien films, sorry!

I met a feller once who said he didn't like E.T. I reckon I don't believe him.

Yeah, one headerball on the other thread mentioned E.T - must be on drugs. It's a stone cold classic.


Jaws is another one which is impossible to dislike.

Yeah Jaws, better fx than most modern cgi

A man that says he doesn't like E.T. is a liar. A man that says he doesn't like Jaws isn't a man.

Movies we're supposed to say are good I would imagine.

Ah yeah, a few here mentioned already that I hate...

Bonfire Ahead

In all seriousness, both threads are ridiculous. It's all subjective.

Except when it comes to Casablanca. Anybody that doesn't like that film better head on out the back door.

Karate Kid
The Lost Boys.

There probably won't be a 7th. As a rule of thumb, it's best not to advertise your new account when your old one was sitebanned.

E.T. First movie I ever saw, aged 5, in a picture house.

And you know what, it upset me so much when ET and the boy parted Ive never watched it since. Genuinely I can still recall the heartbroken feelings and floods of tears i was in over it and im 42 now. Maturity and perspective have done nothing.

So I'm gonna say i don't like it.

Franz Von Peppercorn

There’s one mentioned already I dislike. But let’s not mess up the thread.

Christmas movies are fun, right?

My suggestions are:

Scrooged. A Christmas Carol. It’s a wonderful life.

Jim Bob Scratcher

Goodfellas

Riddle101

Terminator 1 and 2. My personal favorite movies, but i've never heard a bad word about them.

Hello. It's nice to meet you too.

You must like Toy Story because, as I have said, it's a movie that's impossible to dislike.
