Favorite films I love (but everyone else hates)
By an Amazon.com customer
Love in the Time of CholeraLove in the Time of Cholera
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $1.12
Here's a film featuring great direction by Mike Newell, an incredible performance by Javier Bardem, and great use of color. It's also a damn good love-story.
Captain Kronos - Vampire HunterCaptain Kronos - Vampire Hunter
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.45
My favorite of the Hammer Horror films, this has a silly script, great use of location, and a ultra-slick hero who wields a katana and fights vampires. What's more to ask for?
Ghost TownGhost Town
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $1.04
Cute, light-hearted/foulmouthed comedy featuring a great tailor-made character for the always funny Ricky Gervais.
The Incredible Hulk (Three-Disc Special Edition)The Incredible Hulk (Three-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $3.80
It's got great acting, wonderful references to the original Hulk TV show, decent special effects and a good sense of fun. Maybe nothing awe-inspiring, but it's well-made and exciting.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc)Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.97
This movie disappointed alot of 'Indy' fans....I guess they wanted something 'darker' and/or 'more mature'? Well, sorry. Personally I was just glad it didn't suck. It's just a damn good movie with a great self-aware sense of wonder (and nostalgia).....oh and aliens.
The Good Shepherd (Widescreen Edition)The Good Shepherd (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $0.49
Dense, epic, and intelligent. This film's a bit confusing at first (which I think turned alot of people off). While not the usual 'bourne-type' spy story, Robert Deniro's masterpiece remembers the cold-war days of John LeCarre and has a terrific, complex performance by Matt Damon.
Daredevil (Director's Cut)Daredevil (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.65
Too simple for comic fans, too much Ben Affleck for movie critics. Which is a shame because when people were fawning over Spider-Man, they were missing out on this exciting, somewhat mature super-hero film with a great cast and involved story-telling.
Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition)Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Not so much 'hated' as 'underrated'. I thought Brandon Routh was an excellent Superman and this film (like the first original movie) had a great sense of wonder and fun. I didn't expect to like this film, I also didn't expect to be one the only people who loved it!
