    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    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 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.

    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!

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

      I always recommend watching the director’s cut. It’s like a totally different movie and gives more context.

          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.

    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

    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.

    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 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 .

      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.

    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.
