I have not watched "Fast Food Nation", or Larry the Cable Guy, but I have watched the other 3.
I can't watch Titanic anymore. That is the only movie, other than The Green Mile (they killed the dude!), that made me *cry*. Yes, cry.
Little Man was just.... not... funny....
But Freedy Got Fingered was.

If refused to watch that for the longest time because I was pissed at Aerosmith for recording that cheesy song James Brolin wrote.

When is that ever gonna come up? When is someone gonna be like "Hey, let's watch Crossroads!" But in the same vein, From Justin To Kelly is probably a whole lot worse.

I saw Titanic, and it was a huge pile of crap.
I also refuse to see Larry the Cable Guy, or The Cable Guy for that matter.
I saw the first Matrix movie, refuse to ever watch any of the others.
I'm kind of torn on Will Ferrell movies. I saw Elf and thought it was crap, and for that reason I didn't see Anchorman or Bewitched (well it was one of many reasons I refused to see Bewitched), but I recently bit the bullet and went to go see Talladega Nights, and it was a pretty good movie.

Anchorman is great, you should definitely see it. I like Talladega Nights, but the common consensus is that Anchorman is better.
I didn't really care for Old School though. It had its moments, but overall... meh.

Oh man, my list could be filled instantly with Will Ferrell movies. I've never cracked a smile at anything I've ever seen him do. Hell, he even managed to make Franz Liebkind unfunny in The Producers.

Star Wars! STAR WARS!!! You don't know what you're missing. The only one that truly sucked ass was Episode 2. Episode 1 was mediocre, though.

I don't want to defend the movies people willingly avoid, but I hear "Dazed and Confused" (Richard Linklater of "Slacker", "Waking Life", "A Scanner Darkly") isn't bad. In fact, from what I've heard, I find it odd it was grouped with that collection of films. Granted, I haven't seen it yet, but can anyone confirm that it's a raunchy teen comedy in this vein?
As for "Van Wilder", I ended up seeing that in the theater, because there was nothing else to see. I didn't like it and it puzzles me they made a spinoff sequel for the theaters. Although, I'm kinda glad they gave it to... Taj, I guess. There really needs to be less white people in these films... cause "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" was such a classic...  I'm more inclined to see crappy comedies than serious, critically acclaimed historical dramas if given a choice; that's just how "I roll". 
And I didn't like "Slacker" or "Waking Life", but I will give Linklater credit.

I saw Waking Life, I enjoyed it. I heard A Scanner Darkly was like a bad ripoff of it though...?
The only reason I put Dazed and Confused on my list is not because it's a raunchy teen comedy, but because it's something that a bunch of idiots from high school used to think was the epitome of awesome because they could totally relate to it.

I loved The Matrix and hated Reloaded. Revolutions was OK, it got kinda silly at the end with the DBZ fight.
The Animatrix was really cool too.

I don't think it's case of people hating the Matrix, the original is now a classic. I think what people hate, is the aftermath of the original movie. The sequels didn't live up to hype, not to mention the absolute market saturation of all things Matrix: Games, Tie-Ins, contests, etc, etc. (Had it been released in the 80's we would of had a saturday morning cartoon, too!)
And, I agree, that the animatrix kicked ass. Too bad Square didn't use "Osiris" as there 1st movie, instead of that craptastic Spirits Within.
Oh well, live and learn.
