Gone With The Wind

I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can’t admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.

Can it be a director?

The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight

9. Closest I’ve come to walking out of the theatre. So disappointing after the great short, which they took and just animeified

Avatar. Good Lord what bad acting and visual dynamics will do for a movie.

Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.

If The Sopranos was boring, what you’d get is The Godfather. It’s boring. And it insists upon itself.

I’m gonna give the opposite answer than you want. I feel like most movies recently are like that but some I had to get into the right mood to enjoy them. The first time I watched the new top gun I thought it was garbage propaganda then I gotta into jet sims and think it’s an awesome movie. Same with mad max fury road, thought it was trash until I watched 1-3 then 4-5.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.

Oppenheimer.

3 hrs of nausea-inducing quick cuts

BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty… just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it… nah, still terrible.

I hate 20th Century Classic that has been so impactful on film making that it suffers from the Seinfeld effect. Every aspect that it pioneered is just so cliched now in retrospect - how dumb were people back then to have been entertained by something pop culture has completely imbibed over the past XX years.

I found the special effects to be laughable; especially the practical ones. How could you watch anything made before CGI matured to a decent level?

Don’t even get me started on the actors. None of them went method and abused their fellow cast and crew in the name of art. Additionally the script did not past the Bechdel test which completely ruined any sense of realism that the characters might have been attempting to portray.

20th Century Classic is just one example. There are hundreds of films that don’t even have colour cinematography. Pretentious people try to tell us black and white cinematography is “more dreamlike”, pul-lease! Why would you want to watch something that doesn’t look like real life? You might as well be reading a novel at that point - and the whole point of movies is to completely replace novels so we can consume stories more efficiently.

Don’t @ me on any of this. Just hop on your penny farthing bicycle and ride off into the sunset to your hipster neigbourhood.

How about one that will actually piss people off: The Shawshank Redemption

Pulp Fiction 🤷‍♀️

The Talented Mr. Ripley. Awful, truly awful!

Poor Things. I turned it off after~30 minutes.
