Only one I liked was Devil's Advocate, with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves

That's still her best performance! I do love FURY ROAD, of course...
Haven't seen Fury Road yet. Any good?

For some reason this got so on my nerves that I stopped it after about 30 minutes and haven't revisited it since.

I like all the Mad Max movies (even THUNDERDOME!) FURY ROAD is good, but I think FURIOSA may be even better, frankly.

Sure, Max isn't in the last two much, but I never thought Max himself was really the draw. It's the setting/milieu that's the star of these movies.

Another one I've never "got": David Lynch's "Eraserhead."

I've tried to watch this one three or four times over the years and every time I've bailed out about halfway through. This is out of character for me, as usually I am compelled to watch a movie all the way thru to the end, no matter how bad it is. But "Eraserhead" is just so irritatingly weird that I always say "F this movie!" It's my Kryptonite

FURY ROAD is literally incredible, a masterpiece of visionary spectacle as well as being thematically compelling, basically THE HOLY MOIUNTAIN if THE HOLY MOUNTAIN was an action extravaganza, and also incidentally the best MAD MAX movie (none of which are bad).
