I'm with you there.  I saw Blair Witch before all the hype and it was great.  I grew up in woods like that and we would find all sorts of weird things.  Then not find them again for years, only to realize we were 20 feet from the thing and couldn't see it.  Forrest are mysterious things.

I would add Cloverfield.  Outside of too much jerky cam, I think it is a well crafted and creepy movie.  If you look at it, there is another sub story, under the story.  I well done.

Omg I loved The Blair Witch Project so much. One of my favorite movie. I don't think it's ever been matched by other found footage movies. The ending was perfect.

Oh god. I get passionate about games, but I'm a cinephile as well.

I loved all four Pirates of the Caribbean films, even though the fourth one was a huge disappointment after the epic Dead Man's Chest/At World's End combo. Lots of my friends like these films, but film critics tend to be incredibly critical. I found that their quality was entirely depended on how deep you looked into the characters and examined their interactions. Once you got past the confusing plot, the story was really clever in all of them, and the characters are easily some of the best developed in modern cinema.

I also quite enjoyed all three Transformers films. super fun, juvenile fun. I didn't grow up with Transformers, so I'm not bothered by their bastardization of the source material. I just like the shinies. I know the films are objectively terrible, but I can still enjoy them.

The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. As long as you watch them concurrently as one long film, it actually works quite well. Truth be told, I actually like 2+3 more than 1.

The Star Wars Prequels. They were horribly shitty on characters (not one Prequel character save Mace Windu compared to the cool badassery of Han Solo), but the overarching plot actually was really good. When I watch all the movies as individuals, it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth, but after seeing Episode III, then going back to watch 1 and 2, I picked up on a lot of stuff and the seeds of plot threads that you didn't even notice until later on. I know it's terrible to say, but as one cohesive plot, it actually worked really well despite the writing and direction issues.

sucker Punch. Yes, I'm serious. That movie is so much deeper than anyone gives it credit for, all they see is skimpy fetish dolls doing kung fu and gunplay...and if you're the kind of person who sees the movie as that, you're the kind of person the movie is insulting to your face. (you are the fat, despicable person watching Babydoll dance, and while you're busy watching the pretty show, we're gonna rob you blind). Moviebob sums it up:

The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. Dunno, something about this movie just captured me. Maybe it was the truly outstanding, realistic animation, or the likeable characters, or the cinematography (Seriously, I saw this in 3D, and to date it's the only movie that has really felt like it NEEDED to be in 3D to really be done right. PErfect 3D cinematography that even Avatar couldn't quite master). Either way, I absolutely adore it and it makes me cry every time Soren and The Band get to the tree and start working on their chaw (or chore, or something. I didn't read the book, I listened to an audio book, so I always thought it was Chore), and that damn owl City song starts. IT makes my heart lump up in my throat.

Bad Boys and Bad Boys II. Sorry, Will smith is just a lot of fun to watch, even if Michael Bay's direction is kind of terrible.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Okay, so most of my FF friends love it, but most others are like 'lolwat?" Fun movie, lots of action. Save the lack of deep, multi-layered plot or backstory involving hojo and Vincent, it was pretty damn good.

I liked it too, mostly because I adore giant monster movies. Actually, I should add that: the 28 Japanese Godzilla movies, all of which I own. Not many people can appreciate their mix of cheesiness and socio-political commentary. I hate the 1998 Hollywood one with a passion, but I have high hopes that the new one slated for 2014 will be better, as it promises not to bastardise the character the way the 90s one did.

While I haven't seen ALL of them I do reallly like them too.  Espically the first one - I prefer the Japenese version over the Enghlish.  It really examines the horrors of living through and atomic bomb blast.  Also, I like Final Wars a bunches too.  I got to see it in Hollywood with a bunch of fellow fans - it was a great night.

As far as Godzill 2014 - have you watch "Monsters" from the same director.  I think he is really good and have hope it will be interesting.

I love The Ghost Writer, but I hate having to explain to people it's the Roman Polanski movie with Ewan McGregor and not the piece of shit with Nic Cage.

The imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. It has no guns and it looks weird, love it. My wife loves it too though so guess 'everyone' is out.

I recently lost respect with my wife for watching the Back to the future trilogy on blu-ray. I still like the entire trilogy even though it's corny and dated.

Cloverfield

Roll Bounce

I'm not sure about love, but I enjoyed Star Wars Episode 1 more than Episodes 2 and 3.

More recently, I found myself appreciating The Amazing Spider-Man, flaws and all, as much as The Avengers and more than The Dark Knight Rises.
