Did you see Midsommar? I feel like it's a "horror" movie a lot of non horror fans can like. Personally loved it. Also think a lot of the dudes here would hate it but can't spoil it.
How about movies most people love but you hate?

I came *this close* to seeing it but chickened out. I do not enjoy being scared. I heard it's terrific.
It's not about the mental institution. It's about the abuse of authority in the institution.
I love 80s movies more than anyone on this planet and I hate the breakfast club. I like John Hughes movies too.
Booty Call is actually very funny. Very silly and stupid as well. But that movie made me howl.
Understood. I didn't find it scary, just intense. but everyone is different (I find stuff with Satan scary maybe bc I was raised Catholic.)
Digressing but there's a new network show on Thursday nights that is really well done but kind of scary - Evil. It has a very strong Catholic undercurrent (I'm Catholic too.)
Anything with Jim Carrey in it.
I've never watched a movie with Jim Carrey in it, but if it were forced to, it would be by far the worst movie I had ever seen.
For some reason, the way he moves his jaw around when he talks is like finger nails on a chalk board to me.

Boogie Nights is fantastic. Another movie anytime it is on.....have to watch a bit. Maybe that is another thread. Movies with great soundtracks that reflect the time/age of when they were set. Boogie Nights is definitely one of them.
The Princess Bride is terrible..
Inconceivable that anyone could like it.

Beast me to the punch
Add days of thunder
Cocktail
Lions for lambs
Valkyrie
The last samurai
So, so many on this list. The first one to jump to mind was the Blues Brothers.
I know it is a beloved movie by everyone and is just universally accepted as a classic film, but it’s terrible! It’s not funny, it’s not entertaining, it just sucks! In fact, I will go so far as to say that 70s comedy by and large sucks!
However, the Blues Brothers is particularly bad. I honestly don’t get it at all. I’ve tried multiple times and it just never gets any better.

I do not think It means what you think it means.

Agree- accept for No Way Out because Gene Hackman and Will Patton and Sean Young were so good.
The book is about that.
the movie is about Jack Nicholson, who single-handedly carries it.
the best scene is when he rejoins the therapy group after supposedly having a lobotomy. he comes shuffling in like a brain dead, drooling zombie. The guys are all looking at him in horror, then he sits down and shoots a wink at one of themto let him in on the put-on.
Sorry but I don’t think I’d want to drink a beer with a guy who neither likes nor understands the Blues Bros. At a minimum it means you didn’t watch SNL in its Belushi-Ackroyd heyday, you don’t have a proper appreciation for some of the best music of its time, and you don’t have much familiarity with one of the truly great and down to earth big cities in this country, or the people that live in it.
on top of that, bashing 70s comedy (if we’re lumping the early 1980s films into that category) )means you don’t like Caddyshack, Animal House, Slapshot, etc.
that’s messed up.
There are pretty much no movies that I like. I do not have the attention span nor energy to watch most of them to completion.
I don't remember the actual movie, but Hugh Grant was in it. Went to it with my wife, and we weren't even through the opening credits. We turned to each other and simultaneously said "This sucks" and got up and left and went to the pub to drink. Anytime we consider going to the movies, we just agree to avoid the disappointment and just go to the pub instead. I much rather would go out and have drinks with her than see any movie.

You usually fill us with snark, not usually grace us with a sense of humor. So it went over our heads.
Last 10 years I've really liked:
It Follows
Drag me to Hell
Midsommar
Get Out
Us
The Cabin in the Woods
Annihilation
You're Next
The Witch
Green Room
Under the Shadow
A lot are sort of neo-Carpenterish. Which I love. There has also been a lot of found footage and torture movies, all of which I seem to hate. A lot of them have also explored feminist themes which probably won't be as appealing to dudes on a football message board, but just saying.
