d-d-d-dAz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Three of my favourite films ever are Existenz, The Life of David Gayle and The Cell. Â Existenz was a critical success, granted, but most real people seem to hate it. Also, I don't quite accept that any of these are, in fact poor; I just accept that people are idiots.

patiirc Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Three of my favourite films ever are Existenz, Â Tooth Gun, Callum Keith Rennie, and lots of fun, what's not to like.

Paid Members air_raid Posted November 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Does BMX Bandits count? Â Terrible premis/plot, crap dialogue, woeful acting. Utterly dire. But I love it. I had a couple of the tracks from the soundtrack on my ipod for a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Does BMX Bandits count? Been trying to get a decent UK copy of that film for YEARS. It's an Aussie film, isn't it? Nicole Kidman is in there IIRC. Â Every copy I have managed to procure has been totally unwatchable because it looks like somebody has smeared a big handful of Vaseline over the lens. Very weird. Just looking for a clean print.

Paid Members Jaffa Posted November 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 All the Hugh Grant films as well, I know film buffs don't like them very much but I find them entirely enjoyable regardless. 'About A Boy' and 'Love Actually' especially.  Hugh Grant has never made a bad or substandard film. He's awesome.   Forgot this! As if. I love The Room. I have a picture of a spoon on the wall of my kitchen in tribute to this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 need to get on The Cell, never seen it. Â I saw Existenz back in the day with a group of friends, it kind of went down the 'what the fuck' route, but i went back to it years later when i was going through my David Cronenberg-phase, loved it. Â I'm due another Davind Cronenberg phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Has he ever made a bad film, Cronenberg? I've yet to see one. I need to get hold of Eastern Promises, looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Miz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The Great Outdoors. John Candy, Dan Ackroyd. Awesome comedy. Oh and Uncle Buck. Superb.  Again, in what way are these bad or substandard films? THEY'RE NOT.  The Great Outdoors was a massive box office faliure, so probrably gets the "Bad" tag from that. I loved it though.  This.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Outside the back-to-back awfulness of Crash, M Butterfly and Naked Lunch, no. He went through a phase of boring adaptations but shook himself out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Outdoors made $40 million+ in US box office alone, double its initial budget. So, in other words, not 'This'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Butterfly was kind of a noble failure. Jeremy Irons specialized in those for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
