Pretty much any prison movie.

COOL HAND LUKE? ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ? WHITE HEAT? 

I've seen about 15 miinutes of Cool Hand Luke, but nothing of the other two.

If there was a way to go- this would be it.

Anything that gets hyped into the sky instantly makes me hate it. THE JOKER is a prime example. I'll probably watch it but in a couple of years, when people stop talking about "cinematography" and "photography", as if they had any idea wtf are those things.

Elf (2003)
Bad Santa (2003)

Bad Santa (2003)

ELF is good, not great. You're not missing much.

I wouldn't say everyone loves BAD SANTA. I've actually never heard anyone mention it one way or the other. I've got no interest in it either.

[The Burgomaster]

I have no desire to see:

Any Harry Potter movie (but I'll probably watch one some day)

Any "50 Shades" movie

Robert Pattinson as Batman

Yeh... that's pulling out a cross thing. "NO! Leave evil!"

Harry Potter junk, LOTR junk, Star Wars luchbox T-shirt toy selling s**t that should have ended in the 70'.s Star Wars is like KISS s**t. It just drags out year after year...

The  Rise of Skywalker

I know a bit about those subjects and they can mean the same thing.

You know, my knowledge of cinema is very limited, but I'm pretty sure they're very similar terms, if not synonyms. But every time I end up in a forum of some sort and they start raving about this movie, or any real life conversation, they instantly start talking about both of those things.
Not to mention, the usual "OMG HE DESERVES AN OSCAR!!1", as if they knew what are the conditions to actually earn one of those prices. It doesn't even change anything for the viewer anyways so I don't really get all the crazyness.

Oh well, I watched THE KING OF COMEDY last week and it seems that the plot from JOKER is pretty much lifted from there. Even the reviews for that Scorsese movie now have mentions to JOKER, it's like a virus that infects everything. Luckily is fading pretty quickly, in a couple of months very few will remember the best movie ever created and start talking about the next Nets**t show.

When I was a kid, the TV spot for the old Les Miserable movie (1978) showed the bit before some dude got branded. To this day, I refuse to watch that.

Similarly, there was another movie where some dude in old Western times underwent Native American initiation and got hoisted up by hooks through his flesh? Man Called Horse (1970)? I refuse to see that, despite the decent reviews.

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

On a tangential note, A Man Called Horse was cited as inspiration for the Italian cannibal exploitation movie Man From Deep River (1972), not to be confused with the Australian outback drama The Man From Snowy River. Come to think of it, a tribe of cannibalistic aboriginals running riot in Snowy River might have livened that up a bit!
