The Big Lebowski is just a “meh” movie. Save for a couple scenes, it’s just not that funny. It also caused a whole generation to rag on a great band because a movie character “hates the frickin Eagles, man.”
I enjoy the Big Lebowski but I openly admit a chunk of that enjoyment was my hometown (Louisville) creating and hosting Lebowski Fest and everything that went along with it.

I know everybody absolutely loved Breaking Bad but I struggled to get into it. And just have never gone back to it.

I mean, as someone that loves and is currently on a rewatch - so is everyone in Mad Men. Fantastic show though.

Morbid, you are I typically align in movies. I do agree with you. I like both those guys but I can only take a very small amount of them. The problem is, every single one of their movies is way too much of them.

TWBB is one of my favorite movies but nobody in my family can stand to watch it with me. It’s definitely not universally popular.

The Big Lebowski is always the movie that gets shite on the most in these threads. Yall can frick right off. Top 10 movie all time. Gave us 2 of the most iconic characters in cinema plus some of the best side characters ever (torturro, PSH, Buscemi, Elliot). It’s one of the most quotable movies ever. It’s smart and clever and the Motley Crue of characters involved in the whole scheme is great. The soundtrack is great. The backdrop of the bowling alley being the escape for the main characters is great. It’s hilarious. The ashes scene at the end had me rolling the first time I saw it. The ending is great. It’s got the perfect amount of Coen Brothers weirdness and intrigue and world building. It’s a movie I have to watch anytime it’s on. It’s all of a sudden become one of the most popular movies to hate on probably because people get tired of millennials glazing it so much and quoting it so much but it really is a great movie.

Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad.
TGTBTU would have been better if they cut out the whole battle scene where the bridge is blown up.

What are some of y'all's unpopular opinions?
Meryl Streep sucks
as does the male Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis
The most innovative Hollywood film of the 1960s was Head starring The Monkees
Aside from Guinness and Cushing, the acting in Star Wars is on the level of a 1950s industrial film,
Robert DeNiro is great at playing 2 things: psycho, and about to go psycho, He's unremarkable at anything else
The third act of Airplane is ruined by the insane overacting of Stephen Stucker. Everyone else is playing straight (pun intended). He's camping it up like an out of uniform drag queen,
Gene Wilder does not work as The Waco Kid. The role should have been played by an old time western actor -- the film began shooting w/Gig Young (They Shoot Horses, Don't They) in the role, but he was fired for being drunk.
Farting eating beans is not funny. You expect people to fart eating beans. Farting in a church is funny,
Animal House sucks, and was horribly damaging in its influence on movie comedy.
Speaking of SNL and the "Golden Age cast", Belushi was overrated, Chase was a one trick pony (watch his audition tape - he can't do anything but fake sincerity), Aykroyd had no personality, Gilda Radner was as overrated as Belushi, and the other women were dull
Warren Beatty and Bob Denver both started out on Dobie Gillis. Denver was the better actor.
Rope is ruined by the long takes and the preposterous miscasting of Jimmy Stewart. It's reputation rising over the last few decades mystifies me.

It’s kind of a good movie if you’re a philosopher type. You can watch the Big Lebowski 10 times, and you’ll come up with 10 different interpretations of WTF happened in that movie.
That’s why some people (including me) have watched the Big Lebowski about 10 times. With most movies, if you watch it once, you’ll know basically everything there is to know about the movie. With the Big Lebowski, if you watch it 10 times, it’s like watching 10 different movies because you’ll interpret the movie differently every time.

Spy magazine once dubbed him Bobby “Every Character I Play Is An a-hole” DeNiro.

The Adolescence series on Netflix was the single worst TV series in the history of television.
And I’m not exaggerating one tiny bit when I say that.

Great list. Not saying I agree with all those takes, but I can certainly understand why someone would say those things.
Disclaimer, I've never seen Head or Rope.

I think Mel Brooks made it work, but it wasn't natural role for Gene Wilder. It would have been an easier fit if a Rio Bravo/Sons of Kate Elder Dean Martin was available.

John Wayne sucked. There I said it. The Shootist and The Quiet Man were the only good films he made.

The Office has always been extremely overrated.

Strongly disagree with this one. National Lampoon magazine stood out as raunchy but still wildly clever in the mid-to-late 70s...Animal House was the first mainstream movie that really captured that ethos.
Can a movie that truly sucks be deeply influential on an entire genre? I don't think it can. The fact that imitators/copiers failed to hit the mark should not count against AH.
