Movies nobody dislikes

I came in to say this. I rarely read or hear a bad review about it.

It was one of my favourite movies years ago but I hadn't seen it in about 10 years until last week. In those 10 years, anytime I heard it mentioned I assumed that time wouldn't be too kind to it and I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much when I finally watched it again.

Well I was totally wrong on that. Time not being kind to it? I actually found some themes in it to be even more relevant in today's world. Not least of all, the movie's closing Freeman monologue.

Technically, it still looks amazing and holds up very well. I'm not a film critic so I'll leave the terms out, but it just looks great. The sense of place from each scene is well established, the time it takes not to rush the viewer in to some bloated set-piece, the room to breathe each scene gets, things I miss from many of today's popular offerings.

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.

Plenty people don't like it. It's often cited as massively overrated which I'd be be inclined to agree with.

I have the answer! Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Anyone who dislikes this needs their head examined.

I thought that movie was quite poor but it did hit the feel good factor as you mention but as a story I found it limited and not worthy of the hype.

Jaws is another one which is impossible to dislike.

Jaws gave sharks a bad image, leading to many being killed. The movie is destroying eco systems!

I think UP is another one everyone loves.
The Dark Knight everyone loves although I preferred Batman Begins
David Fincher's Zodiac
John Carpenter's The Thing

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

Definitely the 2 best action films ever, T2 is pretty much perfect

Yes, I meant the original film with Gene Wilder. I never saw the re make.

Steven Spielberg isn't entirely Teflon, but he's damn close.

Even if people don't love them, I've never heard someone say they dislike them.

No it's not, its very very very rare to find someone criticising this film and its usually only done in response to it's no1 spot on IMDB or the fact that so many people bang on about what makes the film a masterpiece

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.

I would say the fact that a film was capable of causing you to do this makes it a good film.

So many movies here you couldn't pay me to watch. The main contenders being Ferris Bueller and Home Alone

Barney's Great Adventure.

I'm not particularly into comedies, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't like planes trains and automobiles.

Anyone else read posts on this thread and think I need to pm these people and become friends with them ... like big trouble in little China person, terminator2 person, toy story and die hard appreciators.

The flip side is I want to beat up the person that was giving Shawshank stick... “not worthy” guy

Hot Fuzz and The Inbetweeners Movie

Both seem to be repeated on a monthly basis on ITV and Channel 4 - I always feel compelled to put them on and have never had a single complaint from family or housemates for doing so!

The inbetweeners is much disliked by anyone who isn’t a teenage boy or a grown up man child imo.

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.

Saw this in full for the first time only a couple of years ago on Christmas afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great quotes.

Bogart - I cam to Casablanca for the waters.

Reply, laughing - But Monsieur, we are in the middle of the desert.

Bogart - I was misinformed.

It plays like a modern comedy in some ways. Must watch it again.

Yeah saw Casablanca and although wasn’t overly mad about it thought the dialogue and Bogarts acting were superb.
