Napoleon Dynamite. The main thing I got from the movie was that know I know where a meme comes from.

    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    I'm afraid to watch the Princess Bride because everyone I know loves it and begs me to watch it and I'm afraid it will be terrible and when they ask me how it was I'll have to lie

    Breakfast club. It doesn't age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he's the hero.

    Synecdoche New York. Every one of my friends who’ve seen it think it’s brilliant. I tried watching it and felt like I was losing my mind. I know that’s the point, but that doesn’t make it a good movie!

    The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there's no resolution it's just a cliffhanger into the next movie.

    Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn't really a good movie.

    I may get a lot of hate for this, and I wouldn't say it was a huge disappointment because I actually really liked most of the movies but, Star Wars.

    I thought they were great moviees, but when watching them after years of everyone telling me to and all the hype I was kind of disappointed even though I enjoyed watching them all. For me they just didn't live up to the hype I guess.

    I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.

    I'll have to give it another go and hope I get it .

    Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.

    I can't stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.

    No country for old men. I get that it's supposed to be bleak and not resolve at the end. I still hate that it's bleak and doesn't resolve at the end. I didn't really get the "amazingness" of the coin flip scene either.

    I also thought Blade Runner was ok, but the whole "tears in the rain" monologue is so hyped on the internet that it was a bit meh when it actually happened.

    Yes! I was expecting more, and was left feeling cheated at the end with no resolution. It felt like wasted time.

    The Big Lebowski is extremely boring and nonsensical.

    Rocky Horror has one of the weakest 3rd acts I've ever seen.

    Ive never seen the live show so it might just be pains trying to fit a 2 act musical into a traditional 3 act movie

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

    The inglorious bastards. It treats a very serious subject matter with too much quirky humor.

    Also the Nazi slaughter group is basically like an Einsatz Gruppe, but for slaughtering German soldiers. Literally locking people in a building (often a church) and then setting it ablaze was a technique used against Jews.

    Just reversing the roles doesn't make it an act that's worth cheering for, like people did in the cinema when I saw it. I couldn't detach myself from that, hence why I did personally not enjoy it.

    Inglorious Bastards ain't your average war flick or history lesson, it's Tarantino doing his offbeat thing. The humor's not mocking the war, but poking at the villains. The Basterds are soldiers, not a hit squad against innocents. The cinema cheers? That's just folks enjoying seeing the Nazis get some comeuppance. If you didn't dig it, cool. But remember, Tarantino's all about pushing buttons and sparking chatter. If it got under your skin, maybe it hit the mark.

    I always get hate for this but Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    For years I heard it be revered as the best comedy film of all time, it was hyped up so much, then I finally saw it.... And didn't even laugh once.

    That taught me that hype is a powerful thing (look at Cyberpunk for instance), because whatever our mind comes up with, will never live up to the actual final product.

    Faces of Death (1978)

    The first viewing was full of shock value.

    After that it was not my cup of tea. Repulsive on many levels.

    Now that subject matter is just a normal Tuesday on Reddit.

    Jupiter Ascending. It's just all around terrible, and not in the it's-so-bad-it's-good way. I don't get the appeal.

    I'll be honest. WarGames. I'm a big fan of 80s movies, but when I saw WarGames, it was very much meh.

    Almost all of them when I had read the book first.

    The Hobbit

    The latest (The Hobbit) I got my son to read the book, then watch the movies and he's like 'Whaaaaaa???' because they tried to amplify it into a blockbuster.

    So yes, Great movie - but sucked after reading the book.
