Rewatching Michael Clayton did wonders for me. Its really well done, and there are a lot of things I didn't catch until the second viewing, i.e. why his GPS screws up in the beginning.

This'll probably get me flamed.

I HATE Animal House.

Maybe I should rewatch it then. I didn't like Clooney or Wilkinson's performance the first time I watched it. It seemed like such a beating to finish the movie.

Basically which movies does it seem like everyone around you loves that you're not so high on.

Do that many people actually like Avatar? It was absolutely terrible.


For me, it's Shawshank. I'm not saying its bad; I just think its EXTREMELY overrated.

The Departed for sure. I have been thinking that I might should give it another go based on this board's love for it, but I was totally underwhelmed the first time. Just didn't like it that much and found it to be totally forgettable.

Lord of the Rings - too long and too over the top towards the end. I didn't hate the movies, but I will never watch them again. More of a lot of people like it vs. I didn't really get into it.

It was like they reduced the whole story into Ford shooting James due to his unrequited homo lust.

Made Brokeback seem like straight movie.


Basically how I felt about the 3rd Lord of the Rings. It was getting way homo on the way up that mountain.

That was my problem with The Dark Knight. 45 minute long climax after climax finale.

I'm just not a fan of Stephen King. His books and the movies made from the leave me cold. The only book/movie of his I enjoyed was The Shining.

I've tried to like Shawshank, I just don't. Wildly inaccurate as far as prison life (I've never been, but people who know what they're talking about say so.)

Same goes for Stand By Me. Never bothered to watch Green Mile.

2001 - Space Odyssey

LOTR - (I never read the books because I'm not a Fantasy guy)

Harry Potter - (for the same reason; I find those movies uninteresting.)

The Dark Knight (I enjoyed the movie - but that's all - I think talk of Best Picture is ridiculous.)

Christmas Vacation - (I think it's the worst Vacation movie...and I love the franchise.)

No Country for Old Men (It's very good but a one-note movie compared to Fargo - don't understand the crazy love for it.)

Every Star Wars prequel

Amelie - (there are 5 other Audrey Tautou movies I'd rather watch again over this.)

I would list Avatar - but I don't think anyone is really high on that movie.

Don't really think you'd be in the minority there.
