Okay...

1. Forrest Gump
2. Shrek
3. Mrs. Doubtfire

I dare you to find someone who hates one of these movies.

Found one. Forrest Gump is one of the worst movies ever made. Rather have a root canal than sit through that again.

Well, I am known to act stupid to help me spot the truly stupid people in every day life, online not so much and in this case, I didn't even have to put in an effort.

The title, which I initially thought, had bad grammar, turned out to be misleading. I thought you were asking for movies where we thought the movie was bad and most/everyone we knew felt the same way.

Now if it would have the same meaning is debatable... I think "Movies no one dislikes" would sound better myself-- but then again is that a double negative as well? Grammar Nazi's please come correct me!
Achtung!! Just kidding, I hope I didn't scare all the Jews away.
Yes, any one of those would be better than what OP picked.

In this case, I would have to pick Jaws, Airplane and First Blood.
My dad never liked any movie and would make fun of me if I ever talked highly of any movie but he could not stop giving nods to Sly' "First Blood". The movie had an amazing level search for primitive justice, fairness that only Gladiator came close to capturing, imho.

I can't think of any that I haven't heard at least somebody say they didn't like it. I probably spend too much time on the Internet where people will complain about anything that others like just for the sake of complaining about it.

LOL - this one makes the list of worst movies ever.

I agree that Airplane has to cross most peoples tastes but there are too many different tastes to actually come up with a movie that No One Does Not Like.

A Mel Brooks movie has wide appeal but not everyone will like it. Pulp Fiction - Many likes and surely dis-likes. I'm thinking we need to go back a few decades or six to even come close. I love older movies just as much as current ones, maybe even more.

Perhaps. But if I had known the story line I would not have gone. I don't like movies like that. Give me Shrek or Mrs. Doubtfire any day. Next time, I decide to go to a movie, I'll read the spoilers on IMDB.com first. LOL

Goodfellas

Groundhog Day
Every time Goodfellas is on t.v I watch it and I have seen it several times. Ray Liotta was so hot back then.

The Hangover-I didn't care for it. Everyone said it was sooo hilarious; I didn't laugh once. I found it mediocre at best.
