I love Nathan Rabin's My Year of Flops essays not just because he manages to dig out old much derided movies but also because his stated purpose is to fight against the "Everything Sucks" attitude that pervades in society by giving these movies a second look to see if they are really as bad as everyone claimed or if they just were victims of bad press and everyone joined in on the hatred. The most startling article is when he praises Freddie Got Fingered as a surrealist masterpiece.
But he also encourages people to love the "bad" movies that they aren't supposed to like.
