All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
Man, alot you guys are listing are ones I like too (as well as some that make me cringe).
I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of.....anything, but I believe I've heard naysayers for some of my enjoyments below:
Super Mario Bros.
Tank Girl
Red Sonja (c'mon, cheesy bad times)
Bruce Campbell's Alien Apocalypse (people's heads bitten off = FUNNY)
Alien 3 (I really dug the downer minimalistic aspect, and poetic ending)
Jackie Brown (WTF haters?!)
Naked Lunch
Dead & Breakfast (can't believe some people didn't like it)
The Cave (unsuprising monster story, but AWESOME underwater caves)
Hills Have Eyes 2 (remake) (I liked the second one alot)
Prince Caspian (I liked the despair, hoplessness & character flaws)
Elf (it was cute)
Freeway (Reese Whitherspoon) (awesome trash)
Cabin Boy (Chris Elliott FTW)
Little Nicky
Corky Romano (was also cute)
Norm MacDonald movies (Dirty Work & Screwed)
Last of the Mohicans (back up off of my hawt Daniel-day! let me have my lady-moment!)
The Shadow (I don't know if people like this or not, but I never hear them talk about it anymore, and it's an awesome movie)
____________
and I'd like to endorse these movies you guys have listed as indeed AWESOME!! (or at least ok):
Kung Pow (LOVE !!!)
Never been kissed (girly fun)
Godzilla 1998 (is fine, despite over use of French-jibing)
Cloverfield (in spite of annoying whining stars is AWESOME)
Cable Guy (IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE movies of all time)
Death Proof (CANNOT believe some people did't like. genius!)
Deep Blue Sea (smart sharks + Samuel Jackson = WIN)
House on Haunted Hill (remake) (Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Chris Kattan MADE this movie awesome)
28 Weeks Later (I actually prefer this over the first one)
Deep Rising (another all time favorite)
Zoolander (Merman. It's MERMAN!)
House By The Cemetary (LOVE the suprise inappropriate eye-super-closeups)
Jeepers Creepers (was effing creepy)
I've heard way more positive and good fandom than bad for these: Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead remake, Mystery Men, John Carpenter's Vampires, Army of Darkness so I'm not including those.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.

How do three films combined to gross about $2.3 billion worldwide, and no one seems to like them? Even when they continue to make money on DVD sales and the like...
Just goes to show how loud the haters can be.

I like them too and I was sad when qui gon died (he seems to get a lot of grief) and jar jar in 1 was great Never seen the old ones though so I don't know what fanboys are comparing the new films to.
Withnail and I, hilarious film with Richard E Grant, Richard Griffiths and Paul Mcgann but hardly anyone has ever heard of it
And the third x men film as well as xmen origins wolverine, I don't understand why their so hated?
