Movies that pretty much everyone likes
What are some movies that you think damn nearly everyone likes or enjoys?
My Picks
- Back To The Future
- Raiders Of The Lost Ark
- Psycho
- Die Hard
Anyone agree or disagree with these choices?

I'd guess Star Wars, Toy Story, and Wizard of Oz.
Raiders and Back to the Future are pretty good bets, the other two I'm not sure about.

Raiders wasn't all that shit hot.
Schindler's List would fit the bill. Only because you're a Nazi if you don't like it. Pulp Fiction, maybe? Shawshank?
The Dark Knight?

There's gonna be people who hate "universally loved" movies for any number of reasons. I bet if you go to Rottentomatoes and list the highest rated movies, there would be plenty of people who didn't like even the most popular movies just out of spite.

Are you kidding with Schlindler's List? Its an excellent movie, and I own it, but its one I don't like to watch. Same for Saving Private Ryan.

Pulp Fiction easily fits the bill in my general consensus of friends. I think a lot of the Pixar films for the most part are all well liked, I know Cars didn't get a lot praise from the people I know say from the little kids and their parent that they can shut their kid up with it. But for the most part Pulp Fiction is consistently mentioned to me as a universally liked film.

Well, universally loved doesn't necessarily mean there aren't people who don't like it, just that more often than not, most people do... For example, the LOTR movies seem to have a majority of people who enjoy it. I don't particularly, but I realize Im in the minority.

If there's one thing I've learned on DVDTalk after all these years is there is no such thing as a movie that pretty much everybody likes. And that's a good thing.

But to play along, out of what everyone has listed so far, I'd agree with Toy Story.

I don't know anybody off the 'net that so much as liked Stardust.
Was never a big Star Wars fan either.
My vote goes to The Thing.

Pulp Fiction isn't universally loved at all. With that amount of swearing, drugs, violence, blood, and man-on-man anal joy, try asking around the Bible Belt what a cherished classic Tarantino's film is.
I've never met anyone who didn't love THE RED BALLOON after watching it. I think whoever said Wizard of Oz is spot on.
