A while ago, we wrote a post where people of the BuzzFeed Community shared which "hated" movies they loved and which "loved" movies they hated. It caused a heated discussion, so it's time to vote whether you agree with them.

Are these "terrible" movies actually good? Are these "loved" movies actually bad? Let's find out...
1.
Hated: The Notebook (2004): "I know a lot of people think it's the ultimate 2000s romance movie, but I can't stand it. Threatening to off yourself to get a woman you don't know — who has also said 'no' multiple times — to go out with you is NOT romantic!!!"

Loved: Bride Wars (2009): "It got some low ratings, but Bride Wars with Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, and pre-GotG and -Parks & Rec Chris Pratt is actually pretty good. If it's on TV, you bet I'm going to turn it on."

Hated: Moulin Rouge! (2001): "It has a good set and all, but it’s nothing special. I’m also not a fan of Baz Luhrmann."

Loved: The Village (2004): "I never understood the hate for The Village. IMHO, the only wrong thing is it being marketed as a horror movie instead of the suspense/drama it really is."

Hated: Forrest Gump (1994): "I honestly think Forrest Gump is a [bad] movie. People still quote from that movie even today, and all I can think about is how awful the film really was."

Loved: Encino Man (1992): "It has a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it's got Sean Astin, Pauly Shore, and best of all, BRENDAN FRASER with long hair pre-George of the Jungle. The premise is just ridiculous enough, and the characters (and actors who play them) are just outstanding enough to make the movie one of my absolute faves. It's little known but should be more known."

Hated: Mean Girls (2004): "I loved it growing up, but watching it now, as an Asian woman, all the racist stereotypes and fetishizing of the 'cool Asians' just make me sick. I can’t watch it anymore because of that."

Loved: White Chicks (2004): "Some people hated it, but I loved it."

Hated: Breakfast at Tiiffany's (1961): "It’s hyped up as this incredible movie, but when I watched it for the first time, I was so underwhelmed. The song 'Moon River' is by far the best thing to come from the film."

"Breakfast at Tiiffany's is a movie in search of a plot. There are no likable characters."

Loved: Bewitched (2005): "Bewitched with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell! I used to watch it religiously. I think it's such a funny and charming film."

Hated: The Toy Story series: "I'm entirely on board with disliking Toy Story (the entire franchise, in my case). I get what it was trying to do, but the Muppets told the exact same story ~better~ years earlier with The Christmas Toy."

Loved: Hoodwinked! (2005): "I don't care about the low-quality animation; I love that movie! The script is hilarious, and it was clever to twist traditional fairy tales with a Rashomon-style narrative."

Hated: Elf (2003): "Elf is just squawky annoyance."

Loved: Death to Smoochy (2002): "Ebert called it the worst movie of the year, and it's one of my favorites! A dark comedy about the seedy side of children's television and charities, starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, and Jon Stewart. Cracks me up every time!"

Hated: Avatar (2009): "Man, I hate Avatar. Great effects, but the story was such a trite, recycled POS. The characters were all clichés and could have just worn T-shirts saying which trope they were: Bad Guy, Military, Reluctant Hero, Scrappy Scientist, Tribal Elder, His Daughter, Her Intended... Pocahontas meets Dances With Wolves meets The Last Samurai meets The Smurfs."
