    Napoleon Dynamite. The main thing I got from the movie was that know I know where a meme comes from.

    Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.

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

    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.

    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

      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

    No country for old men. I get that it’s supposed to be bleak and not resolve at the end. I still hate that it’s bleak and doesn’t resolve at the end. I didn’t really get the “amazingness” of the coin flip scene either.

    I also thought Blade Runner was ok, but the whole “tears in the rain” monologue is so hyped on the internet that it was a bit meh when it actually happened.

      Yes! I was expecting more, and was left feeling cheated at the end with no resolution. It felt like wasted time.

    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.

    Breakfast club. It doesn’t age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he’s the hero.

      It’s crazy and disturbing how normalized sexual harassment and assault are in movies from decades past.

    Donnie Darko.

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

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

    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

    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.
