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.
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 tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.
So i’m not the only one.
It bored me. Tried the second one, didn’t get better.
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 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’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.
The Big Lebowski is extremely boring and nonsensical.
goonies
Yeah, I guess you must have watched it when you were young to really get into it. Watched it a couple of years ago for the first time, because it is such a classic, and was so underwhelmed and bored.
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.
I like it a lot but can totally understand this.
Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.
Heathers is better for that kind of movie
Pulp Fiction
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.
Donnie Darko.
Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.
No way. Maybe it depends on when you see it. Saw it early teens and was my favorite movie.
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.
Doesn’t exist
Nah, it was at least a little terrible.
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
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.
The latest The Hobbit(s) were terrible, the old animated film was actually not bad.
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
Princess Bride
So dull, nothing funny, no redeeming feature
