No Country for Old Man. I saw this because everyone was going nuts about is, and I really don't get it.

yeah seen this a few times and cant really make my mind up. there's a lot to appreciate from a directing and atmospheric point of view, but not a lot to actually enjoy. I find it just too bleak and dry a viewing experience overall - but maybe thats the point?

I hated Pulp Fiction. I went to see it with a bunch of friends who were absolutely LOVIN' it, and I sat there waiting for it to end.
I've had similar reactions to several of Quentin's other films, I just don't "get" what everybody thinks is so special about his stuff. The only one that I found somewhat tolerable was Inglourious Basterds, which had a great opening and a great ending but a whole lotta nothin' in the middle.

Indiana hones and the temple of doom. God that movie was really offensive to women. The portrayal of women was so ghawdawful I'm surprised actresses worked with Spielberg after it.

[Pacman000]

The actress married Spielberg after that. ;)

[Svengoolie 3]

I know. The portrayel  of women was still horrible.

. MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN (1994). DeNiro looks just like the Monster in FRANKENSTEIN '80 (1973)! (I liked that movie!)
.INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994).-Ugh.
.any of the RAMBO movies...or the ROCKY movies,for that matter. Stallone's  best movie was DEATH RACE 2000 (1975).
.LAND OF THE DEAD (2005). Sorry George. Romero hasn't made a good film since DAY OF THE DEAD (1985).
.any of the Indiana Jones movies.
.AVATAR (2009) what an over-rated boated piece of s**t!

it's the only QT film I actually was blown away by on first viewing. I've only seen it once or twice since then. not much replay value somehow

you are definitely far from being alone on that one...

I believe it's actually an unpopular opinion when you claim to have enjoyed Avatar  

Unbreakable (2000) - never appealed to me.
The Fountain (2006) - watched it a few times, still think it's bad.
The Butterfly Effect (2004) - this only works for me on a so-bad-so-good level. I'm stunned about all the praise it gets.

haha. to be fair I have only seen it on the small screen in 2D. - but if a film needs to be seen in 3D and on a massive screen to 'work' then I'll stick my neck out and say it's probably a bad movie.

.LAND OF THE DEAD (2005). Sorry George. Romero hasn't made a good film since DAY OF THE DEAD (1985).

Not everyone likes Land of the Dead, far from it.  Expecting greatness like the original three dead movies, it was a major let down the first time I saw it.  I don't hate it, but I don't think it's especially good either.  Diary and especially Survival were pretty horrible, though.  I do agree that they are all garbage compared to George's original three.

DIARY OF THE DEAD I really enjoyed, but SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD was downright awful.

I'm going to say it: A Christmas Story

I've caught pieces of it over the years, but never watched it all the way through because of how dumb it seemed to me.  I did pick it up on VHS recently, so I may try to suffer through it.

Another movie that I thought was a giant piece of crap and was shocked to see that it had a decent number of fans was Eraserhead.  I made it a little over 1/2 of the way through it before I couldn't stand anymore and shut it off.

It's OK, but I've never been a huge fan of the Exorcist either.

Diary was at OK I suppose.  But Survival?  Zombies riding horses... Really George?
