I don’t mean guilty pleasures. For example I fucking adore Cold Mountain and Cider House Rules. While well liked by the casual film goers but mentioning them would probably get me called a “pleb” by film snobs on places like here.

Braveheart and Gladiator are two of the best Best Picture winners ever.

Braveheart and Gladiator are two of the best Best Picture winners ever. Also love them. Considered them as examples but I thought they were generally well liked. I might be wrong though. I haven’t been as much into movies lately and I’ve shifted to books. |

Nah, Braveheart is and has always been pretty well shat upon by film buffs (first for being historically inaccurate, and then after Gibson's downfall people took the time to go back and retroactively diminish it even further) and Gladiator is usually regarded as popcorn fare that wound up beating the critical darling in Traffic. They're still popular in the mainstream, Gladiator probably more so, but they're certainly skewered more than they deserve by cinephiles. |

I've been to a Kubrick festival. I've been to a Lynch festival. I've seen Lawrence of Arabia sprawled across the big screen, as well as many other classics. But there has hardly been a more memorable, exhilarating viewing experience than sitting in packed, sold out theaters with the Jackass movies. Come at me, Mike Judge.

Return of the Living Dead is the first thing that comes to mind. That one's Top 50 material for me.
I don't know, I don't really take the "snob" stuff seriously. I'm positive most people are joking when they talk about "plebs", because those same people are firm believers in subjectivity when it comes to liking/disliking art just as I am. Of course it's funny to trash people for their taste but I wouldn't even know what movies are "film buff" movies outside of, like, the Sight and Sound list or something.

Not sure if it applies anymore given its recent revisions, Miami Vice
Wouldn't have thought Gladiator applies to this criteria, but since it's been mentioned I'll include it
Titanic
Hairspray (2007)
From Here to Eternity
Field of Dreams
The English Patient
Million Dollar Baby
A Beautiful Mind
Amazing what a BP win can do in certain cases

Looking at top 100........Marie Antoinette. Some people like it, but mostly post-2000 film enthuasiasts and the listmaniacs of this century's films, who loves dragging some underrated (or underseen) film into their favorites list. That kind of collectionist attitude is usually one of the few things making it not totally obscure. There's not a strong enough consensus that values it, and finds it as awesome as I do. Literally one of the 20/30 most entertaining films of all time; I just don't get what people don't like or don't care for. And I have a couple of Jimmy Bonds in my favorites list. I don't think they're considered cinematically literate. Maybe some consensus around Casino Royale, but that's not exactly my favorite (though it's pretty good) - but moreso, it's not a regular enough action classic like T-2 or Die Hard. And it usually doesn't make the same lists as the 80s/90s film buffs' major genre canon. I think Marie Antoinette is probably more popular with film buffs than it is with casual audiences. As it probably true with most Sophia Copella movies. |

I find Point Break (the Bigelow one) to be fucking great. I also enjoy every Matrix movie as well.

Not sure what that really means. Non-arthouse? In which case things like The Godfather and Casablanca would apply, so thatt's probably not what you mean. If it's things that just aren't super acclaimed then all kinds of things. And I have a couple of Jimmy Bonds in my favorites list. I don't think they're considered cinematically literate. Maybe some consensus around Casino Royale, but that's not exactly my favorite (though it's pretty good) - but moreso, it's not a regular enough action classic like T-2 or Die Hard. And it usually doesn't make the same lists as the 80s/90s film buffs' major genre canon. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, From Russia With Love, and The Living Daylights would all be in my top 100. |

I love some of Vincent Price's modern and tongue in cheek 70s horror - the two Dr. Phibes films and Theatre of Blood........Bruce Lee's filmography. But they may be now more film buff stuff but I don't think of them like that at all.
Definitely a lot of horror which I appreciate straight on - Halloween or Scream or Nightmare on Elm Street which I appreciate as horror not as "film buff overthinking horror" etc.
Superbad is one for comedy obviously......

These films are in my Top 100 and I would think that they wouldn't be considered your typical Top 100 films list stuff...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
American Psycho
The Goonies
Muriel's Wedding
What We Do in the Shadows
The Kings of Summer
Blazing Saddles
Battle Royale
Shaun of the Dead
The Commitments
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut
Clue
Airplane!
Then again, some folks might disagree that those are are not Top 100 films list stuff.
Also, I could rewatch the Harry Potter series at least three or four times a year and probably not get bored. I also like countless 'bad' Horror and Comedy films more than the average person.
