I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.
It bored me. Tried the second one, didn’t get better.
So i’m not the only one.
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
I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.
I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .
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.
Nah, it was at least a little terrible.
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.
“German soldiers”
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.
Nope. It’s always based and cool to kill a Nazi. Not gonna let people like you equate a group of fascists who kill everyone but themselves to the groups that just want to exist.
Big Lebowski … I mean I enjoyed it but not enough to join the cult
Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn’t. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn’t hit where it should’ve
Give it another try, I was also confused during my first watch, but now it’s one of my favorite movies
Second this. Did not enjoy watching that
“That’s just, like… your opinion, man.
I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.
I’m Gen-X and showed my Gen Z kids Better off Dead recently. They quite liked it. I think it’s just so goofy anyone could enjoy it. I DON’T think they’d like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - too talky.
My 13-year-old enjoyed Better Off Dead too. Especially “I want my two dollars!”
Pulp fiction.
I think, like most of his work, you got to be really into characters, storytelling, and the interactions between characters.
I didn’t really like Kill Bill because of backstory. I like his films that just start and end. You know nothing about the characters, but by the end of the story you feel like you know a lot based on their actions and interactions. Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful Eight are my favourites for this. In-depth and complicated characters and story being told, but know little to nothing outside of the snapshot in time the film takes place.
That’s a very specific style of film to enjoy, so I can see why people praise Pulp Fiction while others don’t or just pretend to.
I dont know, characters and story were fine it also made me cackle a cuple if times. But all combined just didnt feel quite right, something was missing. I guess I should watch it againg, maybe I could pin point it better, but it just did not live up to the hipe it was and still is getting. Kill Bill is in my eyes more interesting because of cinematography
I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.
lmao, I just recently realised I’ve seen that movie so many times and have no idea what it’s about.
A Clockwork Orange. I read the book first and was excited to see the movie but ultimately I found it really slow and boring. It’s not a great adaptation in my opinion.
Breakfast club. It doesn’t age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he’s the hero.
