Remains of the Day. Thought it would be a stupid, sappy chick flick and most sappy chick flicks have poor writing and direction.
Definitely sentimental, but the writing and direction is amazing, imho.
The Postman, starring Kevin Costner. I think that movie is an example of the worst movie trailer ever presented.
Just about any Meg Ryan romantic comedy, especially "French Kiss". I'm not into RCs at all.
Princess Bride. I didn't know ANYTHING about it when it first came out, but the title sounded dopey.
My buddies and I agreed that one person a week got to choose the Toonie Tuesday movie in University. I took everyone to Robocop thinking we would have a terrible time. Hell, they showed FIVE trailer for FOREIGN films before it began. I totally got the business from the boys and was almost convinced that I had made a terrible mistake. THEN the movie started and I was soon revielded to be a GOD. Anytime I choose a bad movie since then I can just say ROBOCOP and they all shut up.
Mirror Mirror. Not even sure why I went, but ended up loving it.
