John McM: Re: Some other films I love:
Mame
One from the Heart
Crimes of Passion
Legend of the Lone Ranger
At Long Last Love
Strange Brew
While I love "Crimes of Passion" and bought both the initial DVD and the widescreen follow-up as well as Rick Wakeman's soundtrack with its interesting variations of melodies from the Dvorák 9th, I hated both "Mame" and "At Long Last Love," and didn't care that much for "One From The Heart" either. So it's just more examples of how some of us love movies that others hate, which also applies to our polarization on soundtracks.

That Arsenic and Old Lace is a crackingly fun movie. I've never managed to convince people to watch it, in part because it's B&W.
That used to be the case too with Noises Off, I tried to get some friends to watch it, then one time they finally caved and couldn't stop raving about it afterwards!
I encounter this sort of comment from time to time, and it's getting more and more surprising rather than less so with each repetition - I once thought / assumed the teeming masses were indeed such benighted heathens, but I don't think I've ever once actually met someone who refused to watch movies just for being B & W. Where are the rest of you finding these people?

Judging from this thread, there are plenty of people here at FSM, at least, who no longer need to feel quite alone in liking Star Trek V: The Final Frontier or Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If it helps, I'll go ahead and voice my own appreciation for both movies, as well. Oh, I certainly recognize shortcomings in both, but I enjoy and embrace them anyway (in particular, I have a great deal more love for the much-maligned Star Trek V: The Final Frontier than for the essentially universally-acclaimed Star Trek [2009] and its less-regarded but still well-received successor Star Trek Into Darkness; I personally dislike both of those, especially the former).

I liked The Lone Ranger, by taking it for what it was, not for what people thought it should have been. (I.e. I didn't watch it with stereotypical expectations or judge it by the same).
I liked Godfather 3. (Not as good as 1 and 2, to be sure, but if you didn't compare it with those two classics, it was a very good movie).
I liked IJ and the Crystal Skull, though it would have been much better if Shia were not in it.
I liked Critters.
I liked The Postman
I found Shakespeare In Love merely average, and far from deserving of an Oscar that year. Many films, both nominated and un-nominated, were mroe deserving.
I loathed West Side Story and was appalled that it won the Oscar.
Etc., etc.
