    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    Faces of Death (1978)

    The first viewing was full of shock value.

    After that it was not my cup of tea. Repulsive on many levels.

    Now that subject matter is just a normal Tuesday on Reddit.

    Rocky Horror has one of the weakest 3rd acts I’ve ever seen.

    Ive never seen the live show so it might just be pains trying to fit a 2 act musical into a traditional 3 act 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.

    I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.

    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 .

    Jupiter Ascending. It’s just all around terrible, and not in the it’s-so-bad-it’s-good way. I don’t get the appeal.

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

      Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn’t. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn’t hit where it should’ve

    I’ll be honest. WarGames. I’m a big fan of 80s movies, but when I saw WarGames, it was very much meh.

    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.

        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.

    Almost all of them when I had read the book first.

    The Hobbit

    The latest (The Hobbit) I got my son to read the book, then watch the movies and he’s like ‘Whaaaaaa???’ because they tried to amplify it into a blockbuster.

    So yes, Great movie - but sucked after reading the book.

      I had friends who actually preferred the Hobbit to LOTR because of more action (according to them) But then I slowly told them all the shit that they just added for no reason and now they hate me
