[livejournal.com profile] corone's favourite books meme sparked off a discussion with [livejournal.com profile] cholten99 about appreciation vs enjoyment. There are plenty of books I can appreciate as being good, but that I didn't enjoy (Animal Farm for example), but I can't think of any books that I did enjoy that I think are bad. This is probably because I find it difficult to get past stylistic issues to enjoy a good story, as the writing itself is just as important to me in enjoyment of a book.

However, this apparently does not apply to films. Therefore, I have devised the "Appreciation vs Enjoyment Movie Meme"!

The two categories are as follows:

5 films I think are good but I don't like - this turned out to be harder than I expected. I could think of lots of films that are generally considered to be good that I don't like (Bladerunner, for example), but they didn't qualify because I didn't actually think they were good!

5 films I think are bad but I do like - this was much easier, as there are loads of terrible films out there that I love anyway, for a variety of different reasons. I decided to discount films I first watched as a child, which have sentimental value because they are part of my childhood (The Care Bear Movie, for example), but instead focus on films I first watched as a discerning adult but loved despite their faults.

Onto the lists! )

So, there you go - any takers?
