Movies that you never "got"?

[LilCerberus]

I never found any movie Charlize Theron did to be even remotely appealing.

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?

I thought it was okay.....

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

[Rev. Powell]

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.

I loved it

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).

First time I saw this, I was incredibly drunk and then we get the singing last in a radiator and I shut it off.

I watched it fully sober. It's definitely an acquired taste. But it's David Lunch so...

 WILD AT HEART and MULHOLLAND DRIVE are the only 2 Lynch films I 'get', and both are amazing.

all the rest are too obliquely weird for my liking. (I havent seen the lawnmower one.)

FURY ROAD nabbed another Oscar winner for South Africa: Margaret Sixel, George Miller's editor wife.

[M.10rda]

ZNO, you would easily get "the lawnmower one". It's just a beautiful sad story about a one-way trip.

Margaret Sixel earned that Oscar!

Not even the ELEPHANT MAN (1980)? Which is about as mainstream as Lynch gets.
Myself, I love all of his work.
I don't care about any of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films. Except the first one was OK.

ooh, okay... one to check

yeah my weird aversion to b/w movies kind of scuppers that one for me a bit.

agree with you on NIGHTMARE... the only one I do like is the one every fan hates, FREDDY'S DEAD

Freddy's Dead seems like it's crapped on a bunch. I dig it. Although, of that series, the two best, in my opinion, is the first one, and New Nightmare from 1994.

I've never understood the appeal of the Fast and Furious movies. Like, somehow they made 12 or something and I could barely get passed part one.

Granted my choice in film is a little bit off. I've seen all the Friday the 13th films dozens of times and have the box set, so maybe it's just me.

seen about half of one of the sequels (no idea which one)... I was surprised how blatantly aimed at kids / young teens it seemed.

that just means you have exquisite taste in cinema
