Day 25 - The most hilarious movie you’ve ever seen
Pineapple Express and Shaun of the Dead. Anything by Kevin Smith, as well. That man is a genius director, writer, and actor all in one (among other things, yes, but those three are the reasonings behind my including him as part of the answer). 

Day 26 - A movie that you love but everyone else hates
I can't say for certain that everybody besides myself hates any movie but based on reviews, Reindeer Games and Mallrats fit into this category.

Most people don't seem to hate Mallrats: they just see it as a poor effort on Smith's part in comparison to his other films--more specifically, Clerks, its predecessor; and Chasing Amy, the film made after Mallrats.

With Reindeer Games, a lot of folks just saw it as a poor flick (of many) coming from Ben Affleck. Hell, it wasn't the greatest movie out there, but it's original, weird, creepy, funny and, in my opinion, a good movie with a good plot. The dialogue wan't the greatest, but not everything is perfect. How many films out there have great chracterization but poor plot? Or great plot, but bad characters? If the plot is original and pulls you in, and the characters are believable, then I'll (most likely) enjoy the film. That's exactly what Reindeer Games was for me.
