A bunch of articles re: netflix contest cite Napoleon Dynamite as a troublesome movie in that it is intensely loved by its core audience and equally hated by everyone else.What are the opposites of such a movie? Something that, say, even if you hate the genre its in, you must grudgingly admit it is a masterpiece.

um... wasn't Napoleon Dynamite kind of weird genre movie that unexpectedly resonated with a much wider audience?

I'm not really sure what genre Nap Dynamite is in. (Netflix, too, apparently)
― Philip Nunez, Saturday, 29 November 2008 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

but what kind of indie? cuddlecore?
I guess another way to phrase the question is Which movies are the Citizen Kane of ____ movies?, where ____ is the genre.

It's a Wonderful Life. Even though it's a blatantly feel-good, sentimental Christmas movie, most people who people who hate those sort of movies still admit it's great.

Do people who hate Bill Murray movies cite Groundhog's Day and Garfield as exceptions?

I really don't like Star Wars, and once the pre-quels came out (I saw the 1st and 2nd) my opinion of the franchise moved squarely into Hate.

Big Lebowski is a good one, never heard of someone who didn't like it.
Juno sucked though.
