My thoughts on their choices:
10.) Wet Hot American Summer is okay, but the series is better. 9.) Billy Madison hasn't aged well, it's entertaining to watch as a kid, but it's very annoying to watch and try to revisit it as an adult. 8.) I never understood the love for Top Gun, it's a mediocre film at best. 7.) Saw is okay, but it's far from being the great horror classics audiences describe it as. 6.) The Boondock Saints is a terrible film, I'm baffled as to why it has such a big cult following. I can't recommend this movie to anyone older than 13. 5.) Hook is pretty bad when you look back at the movie as an adult, it's only highly regarded by the generation who watched it as kids and have a blind nostalgic love for it. 4.) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was okay. Requiem of a Dream is much better. 3.) One of the few choices I actually agreed with on this list, Home Alone is a good movie and the critics just couldn't show appreciation for it. I have to side with the audience on this one. 2.) Ace Ventura has aged very poorly. It's hardly a good movie.
Honorable Mentions: Space Jam: Are the general audiences serious? Space jam is awful, the only reason it's remembered so fondly by some who grew up in the 90's is because they watched it as kids. It's essentially a soulless, badly acted, poorly written 90 minute long commercial when you look back at it without nostalgia glasses.
Bad Boys II: This is a godawful film, I'm shocked that people like it. I enjoy watching Martin Lawrence and Will Smith too, but please put them in an actually decent movie.
Die Hard with a Vengeance: How is this film rated lower than the forgettable second and fourth movies? Are the critics serious? The audiences were definitely right on this film and not the critics.
1.) The Life Aquatic is a good movie, I can't believe it got such a bad rap with the critics. It's not Wes Anderson's best film, but it's still pretty well-made and entertaining.
