Give it another try, I was also confused during my first watch, but now itβs one of my favorite movies
Second this. Did not enjoy watching that
Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn't. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn't hit where it should've

Clerks. Couldn't get over the shitty forced acting.
Clerks is easily one of my favorite movies.
Buckaroo Banzai. Itβs an interesting premise but an absolute letdown of a movie. Iβve concluded that itβs only a cult movie because of the fun name.

Yeah, I guess you must have watched it when you were young to really get into it. Watched it a couple of years ago for the first time, because it is such a classic, and was so underwhelmed and bored.

A Clockwork Orange. I read the book first and was excited to see the movie but ultimately I found it really slow and boring. It's not a great adaptation in my opinion.
I don't understand this movie at all! Maybe I'm too dumb for it's high score on imdb lol.
Princess Bride
So dull, nothing funny, no redeeming feature
Pulp fiction.
I think, like most of his work, you got to be really into characters, storytelling, and the interactions between characters.
I didn't really like Kill Bill because of backstory. I like his films that just start and end. You know nothing about the characters, but by the end of the story you feel like you know a lot based on their actions and interactions. Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful Eight are my favourites for this. In-depth and complicated characters and story being told, but know little to nothing outside of the snapshot in time the film takes place.
That's a very specific style of film to enjoy, so I can see why people praise Pulp Fiction while others don't or just pretend to.
I dont know, characters and story were fine it also made me cackle a cuple if times. But all combined just didnt feel quite right, something was missing. I guess I should watch it againg, maybe I could pin point it better, but it just did not live up to the hipe it was and still is getting. Kill Bill is in my eyes more interesting because of cinematography
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.
V for Vendetta. Really wanted to like it but just.... snoozefest
Mulholland Drive
Was going to post this. I like weird, but it tried to be weird for weird's sake. Doesn't help that the first half started off as a pilot for a new TV series and was dusted off and turned into a movie years later.
