The Big Lebowski is extremely boring and nonsensical.
Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.
Heathers is better for that kind of movie
Napoleon Dynamite. The main thing I got from the movie was that know I know where a meme comes from.
I’ve never understood the fascination people had/have with this movie.
I’m from a small town in idaho. I’m surprised that movie got as popular as it did. That movie felt like it was made for us…
I may get a lot of hate for this, and I wouldn’t say it was a huge disappointment because I actually really liked most of the movies but, Star Wars.
I thought they were great moviees, but when watching them after years of everyone telling me to and all the hype I was kind of disappointed even though I enjoyed watching them all. For me they just didn’t live up to the hype I guess.
The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there’s no resolution it’s just a cliffhanger into the next movie.
Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.
Synecdoche New York. Every one of my friends who’ve seen it think it’s brilliant. I tried watching it and felt like I was losing my mind. I know that’s the point, but that doesn’t make it a good movie!
The inglorious bastards. It treats a very serious subject matter with too much quirky humor.
Also the Nazi slaughter group is basically like an Einsatz Gruppe, but for slaughtering German soldiers. Literally locking people in a building (often a church) and then setting it ablaze was a technique used against Jews.
Just reversing the roles doesn’t make it an act that’s worth cheering for, like people did in the cinema when I saw it. I couldn’t detach myself from that, hence why I did personally not enjoy it.
Inglorious Bastards ain’t your average war flick or history lesson, it’s Tarantino doing his offbeat thing. The humor’s not mocking the war, but poking at the villains. The Basterds are soldiers, not a hit squad against innocents. The cinema cheers? That’s just folks enjoying seeing the Nazis get some comeuppance. If you didn’t dig it, cool. But remember, Tarantino’s all about pushing buttons and sparking chatter. If it got under your skin, maybe it hit the mark.
“German soldiers”
Listen. It is one of the hardest cases to discern guilt in wartime situations. Membership of the nazi parti or being a german soldier is not per se a sign of guilt. Just like just being a jew is no reason to be killed, too. I’m all for sentencing war criminals, but the soldier killed by bear jew nor the people sitting in the cinema (aside from Hitlers direct circle) have been proven to be guilty of war crimes.
If you applaud them burning, you’re basicly using the same system of dehumanising a group of people as the nazi party and the SS used for making people belief sloughtering jews, gypsies, gay people is ok. That is very, very wrong.
Nope. It’s always based and cool to kill a Nazi. Not gonna let people like you equate a group of fascists who kill everyone but themselves to the groups that just want to exist.

Donnie Darko.
Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.
No way. Maybe it depends on when you see it. Saw it early teens and was my favorite movie.
Nah, it was at least a little terrible.
I always recommend watching the director’s cut. It’s like a totally different movie and gives more context.
How is the sequel?
Lol, we don’t talk about the sequel. If you watch his other movies and interviews, it’s clear that Donnie Darko’s director was actually terrible and just managed to accidentally make something amazing.
I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.
It bored me. Tried the second one, didn’t get better.
So i’m not the only one.
I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.
I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .
Pulp Fiction
Princess Bride
So dull, nothing funny, no redeeming feature
I’ll be honest. WarGames. I’m a big fan of 80s movies, but when I saw WarGames, it was very much meh.
The Shining. I’ve seen so many parodies and homages before seeing the original, that I just kept laughing and couldn’t get into the horror part of it whatsoever.
