Movies we're supposed to say are good

'The Post' - I'll admit I never saw it!

'12 Years a Slave'

'The God Father' - what the actual fcuk is all the fuss over

I was surprised at just how boring "The Post" was.

c.p.w.g.w

The Pianist - Utter Tripe

Citizen Kane - Depressingly Boring

Bladerunner 2049 - Visually Amazing, storyline was just so long and drawn out

BoroMan32

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Nonsense.

The Tree of Life - Long and boring nonsense.

Almost any coming of age movie not based on a steven king story.

Citizen Kane is great.

There are lots of worthy type movies out there that leave me cold, but not saying more than that.

I enjoyed that one. Mainly because they're aren't a lot of movies that involve the manipulative seduction of women.

The breakfast club.

Inception
Pan's Labyrinth
Inside Out

Star Wars

Mean Streets. Not terrible but overrated imo, and has a sh1t ending.

Oh God yes to both of those!

I'll add Boyhood to that.
So what if it was filmed over 10 years. It still played out like cheap, made for tv melodrama drivel.

yerwanthere123

Boyhood. We watch a child grow up on screen. No plot, no character development. 2 hours and 45 minutes of... nothing.

I'll be controversial and add some old classics to the list too.

All About Eve
Gaslighting

May have been something in their day, might still make pleasant enough viewing, but they're by no means great anymore.

Sure was - love that film.

The Big Lebowski really did not do it for me - but I may revisit.

The Usual Suspects

Into the Wild.

Never before has a film crawled so far up in its own hole that the camera angle was actually from the viewpoint of the producers ass the entire time.

Donnie darko. Pure scutter

Withnail and I
The Big Lebowski

Inception - a load of bollox

I was a kid in the 1980s and never saw Star Wars.

When I went to college in the 1990s there was lots of guys wearing t-shirts about Yoda, Dart Vader and such and such.

These nerds all believed Star Wars to be a seminal event in movie history.

At the same time George Lucas was creating his prequel series.

To drum up the hype they re-released the original series in theatres so I got to watch it for the first time in the then Virgin Cinema in Dublin. I was shocked at how completely sh1t it was.

Back when I was a kid in the 1980s Anything Goes used to show the old Buster Crabbe black and white Flash Gordon serials.

Not only is Star Wars nonsense, it completely ripped off Flash Gordon.

I'm not really one for the marvel films anyway, but Black Panther was actually a black hole into which any semblance of craic vanished.

Made the mistake of seeing it in the cinema and I think you could have gathered 20 mins solid footage of me sighing in anguish alone.

Anything by Quentin Tarantino. Usually a blood and gorefest.

The Shape of Water was utter dog sh1t (and I say that as a fan of del Toro). Showered in awards despite it being a boring, cliched pile of manipulative sh1t

Hated Ladybird and Call Me By Your Name too. Just don’t get the hype around these unoriginal overrated stories.

Most of the stuff the vile Meryl Streep appears in turns my stomach yet she is so loved by many. Ruins good stuff like The Deer Hunter and Doubt for me.

American Beauty must be the most overrated film of all time. Boring rubbish.

Hate stuff like Chicago and Moulin Rouge. Cannot understand their appeal. Cringeworthy drivel.

Schindler's List

So boring.

I was a kid in the 80s and have no idea what you’re talking about.

I do remember Star Wars being shown on TV every Xmas, and Star Wars figures being hugely popular toys - that you might get for Xmas.

Don’t think anyone thinks they were seminal movie events. Think they remind people of happy things in their childhood.

Agree with all of that except moulin rouge. Musicals are not for everyone but it was enjoyable enough. Chicago was a crap musical though. La la land was good.

The “look, women are funny too!” marketing was tedious but I liked the film anyway because

a) it ripped the piss beautifully out of the OTT wedding industry

b) it’s actually a very good study of somebody who is depressed and down on their luck
