Semantics

Yeah, that's the second time in as many days that I've seen you try to throw that word out there. I think you have a tenuous grasp on its definition.

No shit. Grossed $80MM at the box office.

This is some kind of bizarro world, I swear.

"The film was well received by critics and it earned $170.8 million at the box office against a $25 million budget"

"Worldwide, it has grossed $170,602,318, making it the first movie in 2008 to gross over $100 million"

"12 of the 15 people that saw it loved it"

lolz

More like 153/199

For me, Inglorious Basterds tops the list. A few others are Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, 28 Days Later and The Royal Tannenbaums to round out a top 5 list at the moment.

I like Inglorious Basterds, but I wouldn't say it's amazing.

I'm a big fan of The Royal Tenenbaums - that's my favorite Wes Anderson movie, but I haven't seen the Budapest Hotel yet.

Flash Gordon with Sam Jones was one of my favorites of all times and i can't even begin to count the number of times I have sat through Robin Williams as Popeye

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

It was also my go to drunken movie in college.

Ha! Similarly, I've seen Jurassic Park about eleven billionty times.

$80MM according to IMDb.

Putting yours or my number in perspective, The Secret Life of Pets grossed $868MM, but sure, "everyone loved it."

I'm aware. He wants you to watch your teeth on his shaft and QUIT TRYING TO MAKE EYE CONTACT, homo.

Don't worry. I reserve eye contact for your sister

Because box office totals always connote a movie's acclaim or disclaim. Cloverfield has a 7/10 with over 300,000 votes on IMDB with a 77% on RT from critics and a 68% from over 400,000 fans on the website. It's not loved like freaking Shawshank Redemption, but people like it fine.

Box office totals will give a real good indicator of how many people saw the movie. A goofy cult film that 300,000 dorks watched and "liked fine" is hardly a move that "everyone loves," which is what this thread is about. Remember? You started it.

I hated No Country For Old Men... and pretty much every other piece of garbage that those brothers make.

Big Lebowski and O Brother are about the only exceptions.

The words strongly like/love were interchangeable for this thread. I mean how many movies are "universally loved"? 30? 60? 100? That would make for a boring thread, especially if the number were <50

I hated NCFOM as well, and was just ok with Fargo. Miller's Crossing was great though, and Barton Fink was very enjoyable

It's not the "loves" I have an issue with, it's the "everyone." Only fifteen year olds taking a break from their Pokémon cards saw Cloverfield.

I didn't watch Fargo until somewhat recently... and it was just as boring as I expect from the Coens. I haven't seen the other 2.

Maybe I have to watch them high. Everything is better when you're high, right?

I couldn't sit through Finding Nemo.

Depends on the substance. I actually watched MC the first time on Perc's and hated it and didn't understand, then I watched it sober and loved it. Watching movies high are usually reserved for comedies

Dude, Where's My Car?

Yep, I said it.
