    Kind of as an antithesis to the other thread in which boardsies declared their dislike for films which are usually highly rated, I got the idea to start a thread about films which are universally loved by everyone. Which films in your opinion have never been received badly. By anyone.


    I'll start by saying 'Back to the Future' and 'Silence of the Lambs'.


    Never met anyone who didn't like either of those films.

    Raiders of The Lost Ark.

    And if you are one of those flutes who thinks they don't like it, well, then you are mistaken.

    This is an interesting topic.

    For me, the one that springs to mind straight away is the one your mom was in. It really captured audiences. Gripping viewing.

    The Shawshank Redemption.

    Anyone who doesn't feel good when at the end Morgan Freeman says "Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of **** and came out clean on the other side" has no soul.

    A few people on the other thread mentioned this masterpiece :(


    True Romance would be another film I've never heard anyone say a bad word about.

    Theres a difference between simply not liking it and chucking nerd tantrums and demanding rewrites and remakes and canon fidelity and all that utter ballsacks. As an auld adventure movie with decent effects, s'grand like.

    I would say nobody dislikes Beverly Hills Cop.

    Toy Story.

    Anyone that I ever met that was in any way negative towards it always turned out to have never watched it, "it's for kids!"

    I've never met anyone who has seen it and still doesn't like it.

    I know it's still months away, but surely everyone loves the Christmas films Home Alone and Die Hard?


    *edit; someone already beat me to it!

    Aliens.

    Though, in fairness, I did have one housemate that didn't like it because he didn't like anything to do with "space."

    Though, also in fairness, he was a fucking idiot.

    I met a feller once who said he didn't like E.T. I reckon I don't believe him.

    Yeah, one headerball on the other thread mentioned E.T - must be on drugs. It's a stone cold classic.


    Jaws is another one which is impossible to dislike.

    A man that says he doesn't like E.T. is a liar. A man that says he doesn't like Jaws isn't a man.

    In all seriousness, both threads are ridiculous. It's all subjective.

    Except when it comes to Casablanca. Anybody that doesn't like that film better head on out the back door.
