Movies Everyone Loves that you have no desire to see

[Rev. Powell]

As the title says: movies people are always recommending that you have absolutely no interest in seeing? I imagine there will be a lot of classics/art house films listed here, but I'll start with

DIE HARD

Wisecracking Bruce Willis action flick? Yawn, no thanks.

[ER]

Casablanca.

[chefzombie]

the lighthouse

[Alex]

Pretty much any prison movie.

[bob]

12 Years a Slave

Hidden Fortress

and in general movies that literally show you everything that happens in the tv ads for it, for example Ma (2019)

if you showed everything that happens in the ad, why would I want to see what happens

Pretty much any prison movie.

I always liked - Escape Plan (2013) Stallone, Schwarzenegger try to break out of an escape proof prison.
and Death Warrant (1990) Jean-Claude-Van-Damme vs Sandman lol

the lighthouse

I was actually thinking about seeing that one soon

Any Star Wars s**t.
Is it the great acting? Or the convoluted comic book storyline? Or just video game 'pow pow pow' s**t?
It's 1930's Flash Gordon vs. Ming s**t with millions of dollars to back it up. WTF?

[VenomX73]

even the old starwars?

[RCMerchant]

even the old starwars?

Yes. I seen that film when It came out. I was a teenager. It held my attention as long as any cartoon or comic book. And that was it. It's all just stupid kid s**t.
And don't get me wrong! I like stupid kid s**t! But this is 1930's and 40's Flash Gordon s**t- It looks pretty- but there is nothing there. I'm 57. I din't like it when I was 17.
It turned into a million dollar cash cow. Because it's shallow Mickey Mouse bulls**t.
No offense to folks who like it. I just think it's all like McDonalds. Fast food movies for mindless drones.

JOKER - not especially interested but I'll probably end up seeing it
FORD V FERRARI - OK, but you're not missing much
PARASITE - Good but not essential
ENDGAME - OK, but I halfway wish I hadn't seen it
DOCTOR SLEEP - Slightly curious, but won't go out of my way to see it
THE LION KING - Agreed. Never saw the original either and not especially interested in that one either.
