Pirates: Again, expectations. It was fine as movies go, just not worth most of the free world losing their minds with fangirl squeeing over (and the sequels even less so, though have yet to see #3).
Angry Men is a classic, I can't imagine anyone not loving that. Life Aquatic is probably a little more difficult. I personally loved all the acoustic Bowie music in French, and the bizarre yet touching story.
I didn't like Underworld either when I saw it in theaters. Upon second viewing I realized it was because I couldn't understand half of the dialogue (crappy audio) so missed most of what was going on. It's not a Top Ten movie, but you have to admit it's chock full of yummy, yummy eye candy.
I'm so glad you liked my movies. You sound like me, any movie that makes me cry automatically goes on my good movie list (although using this criteria, Tery would have nothing on hers). I thought in Maggie's first scene she was a little hammy and overzealous, but then she calmed down a bit. Family Guy -- I've tried. It's been recommended to me by good friends who I trust, as well as my sister. I've watched the first half of 2 episodes, and I just don't see why everyone thinks it's so great (with the possible exception of Stewie (Stuey? sp?). He's pretty funny).
I agree about the book possibly being better, which is why I'm determined to read it despite OFB's warnings. Neil was Shakespeare. He's totally British, which is why he seems so different in this movie. "Shakespeare in Love" would probably make my Top 20 list.

Oh dear, oh dear. You and I might have a problem then.
