The original Texas Chaonsaw Massacre was awefull, and not even remotely shocking. It definitely doesn't deserve the reputation.
Really? To this day the "dinner scene" is awesome and really authentic. Whole movie is not a masterpiece, I'll give you that, but to me, the build-up is okay, and the main course is great. Also, you're complaining that nowadays a movie from 70s is not shocking. It's not as shocking as Silent Night, Deadly Night, apperently, I'll give you that.
Napoleon Dynamite and Clerks are two of the greatest movies ever made. Says a lot about my comedic tastes.
Ted was one of the worst pieces of trash ever made.
The fourth Indiana Jones movie was good.
The Cable Guy is an unspoken masterpiece of psychological black comedy... Well that's a bit hyperbolic, but it was treated unfairly for being dark methinks.
I'd rather eat she than be suscepted to The Parent Trap ever again in my life.
This is a signature.
Link goes here now.
Screw you.
The Avengers and the original 1978 Christopher Reeve Superman movie are both incredibly mediocre and rank among my least favorite superhero films of all time.

It implied more than it showed. Unfortunately, the focus on atmosphere over sheer gore doesn't seem to appeal to today's jaded moviegoer, but I rewatched it recently and still found it to be a highly effective film.
As the one person on Earth that doesn't focus on movies at any point like they are the only form of entertainment, I feel like my entire opinion on entertainment is, in fact, an unpopular movie opinion. Games, anime, probably tv series in general, music, even the shameless stupidity of the internet, are just more important to me.
Same here. While there are a handfull of movies I enjoyed like Batman The Dark Knight or Pulp Fiction, I find myself bored watching movies. I can only do so if I got something else to do that's boring, so I let the movie run in the background.
So yeah, my unpopular movie opinion is that movies are boring.(Jurassic World will be the first movie I'm going to watch in the cinema in years, that is mostly due to nostalgia though)
Okay, not really. The thing is, though: I have been watching less and less movies due to the prevalence of well-made TV series for the past decade or so. I guess I just came to a point where I really crave getting to know characters deeply and following them through a lenghty arc in a way movies can't really do. For that reason, I don't think there's any movie I like more than, say, The Sopranos, The Wire, or Breaking Bad.
I don't care for the Shrek franchise, or much of Dreamworks' catalogue for that matter (though How to Train Your Dragon may be the exception, from what I've seen).
From my personal experience, it seems like DW is more likely to fall back on crude potty humor than Disney (not that they're totally innocent themselves, as I remember an alien in Treasure Planet that existed for the sole purpose of fart jokes). Disney definitely seems to be the lesser of the two evils in this regard, though.

I don't agree with that. I have an appreciation for horror movies of the era and early slasher flicks, but I watched it again recently too and I still think it's awful. Poor production values probably have a lot to do with it, but even with a good budget, I don't think it would have been any good. The writing and pacing was awful. The characters were all boring or annoying. The dinner scene just falls incredibly flat for me too.
So maybe this is my unpopular movie opinion: the 2003 remake with Jessica Biel was a better film in every way.

No offence, but you must have a fairly narrow/warped sense of what a superhero movie should be.
But at least your posting on the right thread. Popular opinion is more along the lines of:
Groundbreaking in its use of special effects and science fiction/fantasy storytelling, the film's legacy presaged the mainstream popularity of Hollywood's superhero film franchises.
If there was an origin story of Superhero movies, it would start with the 1978 Superman, as everything that came before it is frankly irrelevant. I admit my views are clouded by nostalgia, but there's no superhero movie I'll ever have greater affection for than Superman. The cast, the performances, the story, the soundtrack - all fantastic.
The turning time backwards thing was non-sensical, but the production crew obviously liked it because they were going to use the same mechanic to end the second film at one point.
Sperman II was a bit of a mess, but if you know the production story behind it then you'll understand why. I still cry a bit inside when I think about what might have been if they'd let Richard Donner complete it and go on to make further films in the franchise. Superman I and Superman II were essentially one story, and I'd have loved to have seen where Donner would have taken it next. Anyone who has any interest in the Christopher Reeve films really should check out the Richard Donner cut of Superman II and the accompanying interview on the DVD.
Star Wars really isn't that great, and its strange seeing so many people drooling over the new film not for presumed quality, but for nostalgia.
I just can't imagine anyone aged between 4 and 14, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, watching Star Wars and not loving it, unless they set out to be unconventional. When did you first see it, and how old were you?
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a good film, only really marred by Ray Winstone's rubbish character yelling 'Jones-y!' every 5 minutes, and the over-reliance on CGI.

I find it funny that someone's opinion of something can be written off simply because they weren't of a certain age when they first watched it. If you claimed that Star Wars was a franchise for children, then you'd have a point, otherwise all you're saying is that it doesn't appeal to adults (unless of course they simply remember it with fondness from their childhood). Regardless, I watched the prequel series (The terrible ones) when they first came out, so I was about 6-12. I watched the original three a few years later when I was 15-16. Don't get me wrong, they were alright, but definitely nothing special.

Thinking Star Wars wasn't that great is an opinion. Chalking up its popularity to nostalgia is just a weird, bizarre observation. It was a genuine cultural phenomenon day one of its release. Its box office gross in the US puts Avatar to shame, when you adjust for inflation. Nothing in modern history has shaped pop culture as much as Star Wars has, movies, toys, comics, books, merchandise, etc.
