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…
When this came out I went to the ends of the world to get a copy after missing out on all of the references… And then it was fine. I think it’s kinda funny know but I don’t understand how it blew up the way it did
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.
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.
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.
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
The whole move goes downhill after they serve meatloaf for dinner.
I have watched it a bunch. But saw it first a live cast and with people who were really into it. So any re-watch brings me back to that time. Being high helps lol
Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.
“I will keep you here all night!” “…we can only keep them here until 4.” “I will keep you here until 4!”
Heathers is better for that kind of movie
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.
I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.
I wholeheartedly disagree but can understand why. I love it, but I feel like if I watched it now, I wouldn’t, or at least not nearly as much as I remember. It’s pretty over the top, but Chris tucker as ruby rhod is one of my favorite parts. I think it was also the time it came out. There wasn’t a whole lot like it, that I can remember.
Same. So much non-sense. I remembered it epic. I watched a month ago and I regretted it to have wasted my time like that
The Big Lebowski is extremely boring and nonsensical.
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
The latest The Hobbit(s) were terrible, the old animated film was actually not bad.

Donnie Darko.
Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.
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.
Good to know I can take it off the to-do list.
Doesn’t exist
Nah, it was at least a little terrible.
I’m afraid to watch the Princess Bride because everyone I know loves it and begs me to watch it and I’m afraid it will be terrible and when they ask me how it was I’ll have to lie

Speaking as someone who also loves the movie: I won’t hate you of it’s not your jam, but give it a try nonetheless! Worst case you just lost some time, but you at least gave it a shot.
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!
I fucking love that movie. It’s like my number 1 of all time. But I’m glad other people don’t like it because that gives me hope for humanity lol

Pulp Fiction
I always get hate for this but Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
For years I heard it be revered as the best comedy film of all time, it was hyped up so much, then I finally saw it… And didn’t even laugh once.
That taught me that hype is a powerful thing (look at Cyberpunk for instance), because whatever our mind comes up with, will never live up to the actual final product.
