Here are a few I could just never get into.

Brazil, Godfather, Fight Club, Wizard of Oz, and Gone With The Wind

I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:

Cabin in the Woods.

Tap for spoiler

I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow.

Scream series is far better meta horror imo.

I also found cabin in the woods to be meh. Like it wasn't bad but didn't live up to the hype.

Airplane. Dodgeball.

I am prepared for your animosity.

All the Presidents Men. I can see why its a classic, but every time I try to sit down and watch it, i wake up at the end with the typewriter going.

Closest I've come to walking out of the theatre. So disappointing after the great short, which they took and just animeified

Can it be a director?

The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I’d put memento ahead of the dark knight, but agree Nolan is enormously overrated.
