One thing I had to learn quickly was that my preference towards anything cultural was not in line with what my peers found good/cool, so I strode down the road of enjoying what I enjoy and let others enjoy whatever they enjoy.
Here's a short list:
Roadhouse
The 13th Warrior
Both Ewoks movies
Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in
I remember seeing the first one in the theater when I was a kid and I later saw a letter my Mom was writing where she said it was a dumb movie, but the kids liked it. I was offended!
My tastes may be questionable but that is too much even for me.
The movies can be considered bad, for today's standards but for what I care, it was a great way to spend some time. Where else could we se cannibal Care Bears?
Oh yeah, she was right, it was a dumb movie. But a good kid's movie!
Wait people didn't enjoy the 13th warrior? I loved that one as a child!
I still enjoy the movie today.
And I once found it in book format but the text was too riddled with errors and typos to be enjoyable and worth the asking price.
Roadhouse is a classic! I don't think it counts here.
I very much liked 13th warrior, just watched it again last week! It's on YouTube free with ads right now
It may be considered as such today but it panned as not worthy of the time for many years.
The 13th Warrior was another of those movies that got thrown into the grinder by critics and cinephiles for being not worth the effort just to develop a cult following in response.
Which remebers me of another panned movie: Pathfinder
And while we're at it, let's add both Dredd movies (the second is the best) and the Demolition Man.
