I actually like all the movies you guys have listed, except I've not seen but a bit of Napoleon Dynamite, so can't make a judgment.
I just like to watch people acting because the talent (or lack of) interests me. So a really "bad" movie is good to me because I like to watch the actors try to act. Sometimes dramas come off as comedies due to the non-talent...just all very interesting.
Napoleon Dynamite.....classic.

E.T.- UGH! There are not enough words to describe how much I hate this film. The whole time I was hoping for someone to go all Ripley on that silly looking alien.
Field of Dreams- Get over your Daddy issues already and be done with it!

...what's her face nude, and the FX were the only redeeming qualities...
She wasn't all that, anyway. =D (I'm such a chauvinist, I guess.) The writing sucked, since the director what's his name should stick to directing, which he's great at, imho btw. James Cameron, that's him.

Absolutely! Only movie I've seen in the theater where I wanted my money back after it was over. So terrible. Brilliant marketing campaign. Actual film was a pile of dung :barf:
I disagree, though I do have an issue with all such movies (Blair Witch might've been the first) which include a player necessarily having to hold a video camera while being chased by ghosts or monsters or dinosaurs. It's failure of the sunspension of disbelief big-big, which means bad movie making. I was watching one the other night and one of the protagonists was hanging by his fingernails from a cliff edge and we're seeing it all through the video camera of another protagonist who's supposedly trying to help him. I laughed out loud and said, "Put the camera down, dickweed!!!".

Field of Dreams is one of my favorites. I find something comforting about that movie. But I can understand why people wouldn't like it (Kevin Costner).....
