Is there a film that EVERYONE likes?!

I also love Mary Poppins, and noone can dislike Breakfast At Tiffanys?

I LOVE GWTW. My #2 movie of all time.
#1.... All About Eve.
Anyone dislikes it???
 
It's an anti-hype thing. I'm guilty too. For example: Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Four Weddings... , Bravehart, Blade Runner, all films that I thought were kind of okay, but because everybody else had made them out to be so good, my inclination is to think of them as bad films.
 
Heavens, you are going back a bit! "All About Eve" - OK but couldn't stand Bette Davis.

I hate Wizard of Oz - but then again it is down to the actress - I cannot stand Judy Garland! :eek: Sorry ff999 but I've shot down your favourite. I didn't read your post until after I had added my tuppence-worth.
 
From the list above:


THE GREAT ESCAPE - Excellent
GHOSTBUSTERS - good
APOLLO 13 - good
SHREK - Brilliant
THE GREEN MILE - Brilliant
GONE WITH THE WIND - Brilliant
SCHINDLER'S LIST - Stays on the list, as although its not a film all would necessarily like, it is a fantastic film all the same, does that qualify?

BIG - you're kidding, right? :confused:
HOME ALONE - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
JUNGLE BOOK - Don't like singing animals :eek: Shot down
ESCAPE TO VICTORY - HAHAHAHA - no! :eek:
JURASSIC PARK - didn't like it at all
SHALLOW HAL - rubbish! (IMHO)
MEET THE PARENTS - ditto
MEET THE FOCKERS - ditto

Those that aren't on my list I can't comment on as I haven't seen (No I haven't seen Its a Wonderful Life, but I'm desperate to see if it is as good as people say it is).
 
I cannot stand (either due to them being over hyped or just dull, most of them are dull)

Indiana Jones
Forrest Gump
Adventures of Robin Hood
Bladerunner
The Wizard of Oz
THE CHAMP
Shawshank redemption
Escape to victory
Gladiator
Lord of the Rings
Bravehart
Gone with the Wind
THE GREAT ESCAPE
BIG
HARVEY
FINIAN'S RAINBOW
MR HOLLAND'S OPUS
Apollo 13


Schindler's List, I would not say everyone likes it but no one can hate it.

I would like to add empire recorRAB I love and no one could hate it (well someone will).

Also to add to the good side

Scream
Duck Soup
Romeo and Juliet
Moulin Rouge
Alice in Wonderland
Rocky

I think they are and great movies (which will be shot down)


As for hated (by most sane people) Titanic and nearly all made for TV movies.
 
I hated 'Forrest Gump' with a passion - and never understood the appeal of films like 'The Champ' and even worse 'Kramer Vs Kramer'

On the plus side - love Shawshank and AAE, Harvey and The Great Escape
