Waterworld
From the truly cool ship of Costner’s to Dennis Hopper’s constant chewing the scenery, it was entertaining.
Paint Your Wagon
Good music (well, maybe Clint Eastwood’s singing wasn’t that great), good acting, and a good deal of laughs along with the pathos.

Actually, that title is Major League: Back to the Minors. Major League III is in the planning stages right now with at least Charlie Sheen, probably Tom Berenger.
I unabashedly adore The Three Amigos.

Yes! I enjoyed this movie, and Signs too. In fact, Signs is my favorite M. Night movie.
Caligula.
What other movie with Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Sir John Gielgud, and Peter O'Toole are you gonna see a midget get a bj?
None!

Yeah, it's among my top favorites.

Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: Nemesis
I'm also surprised by the hate Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough get here. Die Another Day I can understand.
Terminator 3 isn't a great movie by any means, especially since it doesn't go for anything new and just rehashes a lot of what worked in the first two movies, but that was an ending I never expected to see in a big studio movie.

It's kinda iffy because I don't really know what other people think of 8MM (as in, eight millimeter film), but I feel like mentioning it. I really like Nicholas Cage as an actor already, and the ending that actually depicts vengeance in a surprisingly good light was a pleasant surprise. However, the excessive-to-the-point-of-sickening sexual content in between a shocking opening and a violent conclusion make the movie kind of difficult to watch for anybody who has small children in the household, and will give probably nightmares to anyone that has loved ones of any description.
Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough are just average, IMHO. Die Another Day.... yeah, that's just awful.
My choices are....
Orphan
Die Hard 2
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney version)
Mannequin
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Switch
Captain
The World Is Not Enough gets major props as the first (and, so far, only) Bond film to feature a female main villain. More than that, Sophie Marceau was more than up to the challenge of portraying an unusually nuanced character (by Bond standards) in Elektra.
Of course they almost ruined the film by also including one of the worst Bond chicks in history in Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones.
I love the scene where Elektra and Christmas meet. The contempt in Elektra's eyes for the barbie doll in front of her mirrors the audience reaction - or at least my reaction - completely.
Die Another Day was excellent for the first 40 minutes or so, a bit wobbly for the next half-hour, and then it all fell to badly CGI'd pieces starting with the ice palace.

You're not the only one. I still love that film.
I might go as far as saying that there is a plethora of fans out there.

It's an infamous film. That means it's more than famous.
Another one for me would be - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. one Of Bill Murray's finest performances
My two are:
13th Warrior - This movie is way better then people think. I'm not a Antonio Banderas fan but I think he really works in this movie. I know there was a lot of trouble on the set and Michael Crichton had to step in and do reshoots. However this is my favorite Michael Crichton book and I love the movie.
The Abyss - I know there are fans of the movie out there, but it is often dismissed as Cameron's "bad" movie. I couldn't disagree more, I think this is actually his best movie. From story, to pacing, and performances everything works on multiple levels.
