It's usually on or near the top of "Things the Academy got wrong," lists, fighting for the top spot with Marisa Tomei's Best Supporting Actor win, which also was a good win.

Of course it won, it was 25 years ago and nobody dared stand up to Harvey Weinstein yet!
He bought that award with money, power and threats.
Fuck that film and everything it about it!

Day 15: A film you dislike that everyone else loves
I'm not usually much for comedies, at least not main stream once. Black comedy, absurdism, be it Young Frankeinstein or What we do in the Shadows, bring it on. I'll devour it.
But Back to the Future? Absolute snooze fest. I truly don't understand why people love this film so much. I find it flat, the jokes are flat, the acting is flat, everything about it is just flat. It's not horrible, it's just dull.
4/10.

Micheal J Fox is just very likeable. That’s all I can attribute it too.Day 15: A film you dislike that everyone else loves

NO! Weinstein was the only predator in Hollywood! It is now pure since The Weinstein is gone.

I've never really taken to any of the Marx Brothers classics. Their vaudeville schtick isn't my thing.

Day 16: Best movie from a franchise
This one's by far my favorite Bond movie! Lazenby isn't the greatest Bond, not by a longshot, but the movie stands on its own. Had Sean Connery stuck with the series, or if Roger Moore had joined earlier, it would have been the greatest of all time!
It's one of very few films where Bond is more of a spy and less of an action hero, and the suspense as he's deep undercover without fancy gadgets or super cars is absolutely thrilling!! And Diana Rigg lends the movie a veil of humanity, grounding it further in reality.
A wonderful, wonderful movie! 9/10.

This was so close to being my "movie you dislike but everyone else loves" but got beaten by an inch
"It insists upon itself"

I believe that all film, like art itself, is subjective, but there are times when I question that belief...This was so close to being my "movie you dislike but everyone else loves" but got beaten by an inch

Since I've already used the Lord of the Rings films as an answer this month, I'll go with my second choice. The Cornetto Trilogy is a franchise, right?

Day 16: Best movie from a franchise
The first 3 are hands down my favorite slasher movies. Not even close. I was super skeptical of this being an unnecessary money grab. But turns out, I loved it too. Best is kinda a weird term, but this was such an unexpectedly pleasant surprise when I was so primed to hate it that I’m picking it.
