I am always looking for great films which the critics did not like / Low Ratings by critics
- GREAT MOVIES that scored low on Tomato & Popcorn Meters
FUN Entertainment topic - Understandably not everyone will agree and that is okay - No need to argue. Everyone is allowed to participate without criticism
I am not a fan of Horror Films other people love them; So
1) if Each Entry can have standard film type as the first word
And since there are so many remakes or dup titles
2) if you could put the year in second
A comment: Your Insight why its great
3) If you could say something about a film that makes it great
So this thread is not for the classics / Rated High by critics
Example of what I am Looking for - A film not so well rated Tomato 53/40 Popcorn meter
- The point of this forum is to find those hidden films that are Great
Film Category - Year - Title - Comment
- Thriller/Romance - Tequila Sunrise - 1988 - Just love the characters Michelle Pheiffer is Amazing, Whitty, & Sexy... great story Raul Julia, Mel Gibson, & Kurt Russel were all great
Additional examples - of Classics Films most everyone is familiar - These are films we do not need in the forum as the critics have given them high ratings
Film Category - Year - Title - Comment
Horror - 1983 - Cujo - then what you loved / why your recommending
Action - Top Gun - 1986

Waiting... 2005
Panned by critics (29% rotten) but praised by audiences (75%), this movie about a day-in-the-life of a typical chain family restaurant, would be relatable to anyone who's ever worked in a restaurant. Perhaps that's why it was panned by critics who likely never suffered through such experiences. Yes, it's got gross and offensive humor (by 2026 standards) and yes, it's over the top. But if you've ever been on the receiving end of a crappy tip or had a friend who worked in the restaurant business, this is the movie for you. Ryan Reynolds is his usual self (for better or worse, depending on your opinion of him) and performances from Justin Long, Anna Faris, David Koechner as the manager who's about resigned to his middling life, and Luis Guzman as one of the funniest cooks on the line, sure make this movie full of great talent. Even Dane Cook makes an appearance and is somehow tolerable. The crazy thing is, this movie isn't really that far off from a real behind-the-scenes of restaurant life. Absolutely worth a watch.
