Deerhunter, Midnight Cowboy, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, French Connection, The Conversation and a lot other praised films from the late 60s early 70s are just boring as shite to me and I think people just say they like them bc they are supposed to

Oh yeah, I think people just say they hate them or use the term overrated just to be a contrarian.

I've been called a Contrarian because I don't like The Big Lebowski.

No Country for Old Men.

First time I tried to watch it was in the evening and it ended up putting me to sleep. I attributed that it being late so I tried again around noon one Saturday and I fell asleep again.

I'm sure it is a good movie, just not for me.

I think we also need to make sure we are keeping with the premise of the thread. This is for movies you think absolutely suck. Not just overrated. There are many I can include that I didn't love as much as other people but I didnt think they sucked.

I'd call you something else for not liking it!!

It sort of sounds like the beginning of contrarian.

Oh I understand the premise. I thought NCFOM sucked. Bored me to tears. I pushed through it b/c I heard how great it was and expected some big payoff at the end. Nope. Just sucked. IMO of course.

Just to be clear that wasn't solely directed at you. I had to respond to someone.

"Insanely popular" is being ignored in a lot of posts but:

Popular at the box office:

Titanic
Avatar
Ironman
Top Gun
Most Star Wars except Empire Strikes Back.
Really almost all superhero/action movies.

Popular on the Movie/TV Board - Tombstone, Old School.

Critically acclaimed - Thin Red Line, Sideways, The English Patient.

Not to derail but I'd put Terminator 2, X-men 2, and Toy Story 2 over Rocky 2 or Aliens any day in regards to best sequels ever.


I think X-men 2 is very overrated. Part one sucked so it made X2 look that much better.

Clockwork Orange- shite was just weird
Ironman- garbage
The Ring- not scary at all

Also agree with There Will Be Blood

I got you. I definitely wouldn't say Reservoir Dogs or Ap Now sucked.

Last King of Scotland

I know it won a bunch of Oscars or some shite, but I thought it was terrible.
