Add Anchorman to that list.

I am so glad I'm not the only one!

Raging Bull. I've got mates that love it - I've watched it a couple of times now and just don't see what the fuss is.

I was like that with Matrix films.

Watchman - I love it but many don't

Not ‘marmite’, but convincing someone to watch Man on the Moon with Jim Carrey is always difficult.....amazing watching the turnaround in mood as the film progresses. By the end, everyone is smiling / loves it / doesn’t want it to end.

Napoleon Dynamite.

Yup.

It's true Marmite. If you're a fan, you not only know others will hate it, you can sort of see why

That one was my first thought too, I don't think I've heard any moderate opinions of it - people either thought it was abysmally boring garbage (like I did, before going off to watch paint dry or something instead) or that it was an amazing masterpiece of modern theatre.

Blair Witch Project.
I enjoyed it but work colleagues just thought it was cheaply made (which it was) waste of time.

Surely it has to be "Krakatoa, Yeast of Java"

Deserves more recognition!

This was complete 'marmite' in my household.

My wife didn't enjoy it, but she found it completely terrifying. Which I think, looking back, it was meant to be.

Me? I thought it was a comedy. And a pretty dire comedy at that...

The Mrs and I love a good horror, so went to see this the day after it opened as it was being raved about. We went during the day so there weren't many people in the cinema - maybe 10 people or so. Once it finished, we all sat looking at each other wondering if it had actually finished & what had happened - nobody wanted to leave first in case something scary happened.

Basically, it was an unfunny, slightly extended version of You've Been Framed. Awful movie.

"Dude, where's my car?" wasn't much better
