The Dunkirk thread made me think of this. There are some movies that you either love or hate, some people call them masterpieces and classics, others, steaming piles of shit. There are also the undeniably horrible movies that no one liked (or even heard of) but the critics raved about and won shit tons of awards.
What are your best of the worst? No Country For Old Men: Incredibly slow plot and no end. By the time the snooze fest actually started to get interesting it was over, and it just ended apruptly with no actual conclusion. A movie should have a beginning, middle, and an end, but this one forgot the end, and it didn’t have much of a middle either. I also found it very weird and hard to follow, it was way to artsie fartsie to me. Don’t even get me started on the silenced shotgun. House of 1,000 Corpses: Just fucking weird. Killer pscho clowns would be the easiest way to describe this one. Was there a discerns me plot? Not that I can recall. It was just a crappy “art film.” I rate that one as one of the worst movies I have ever seen, yet it launched Rob Zombie’s career as a director. It was so bad though that I swore I would never watch another Rob Zombie movie again, because he cannot possibly make a good movie, and I haven’t. Slum Dog Millionaire: I never saw it, and still haven’t, and until the awards I had never even heard of it, and that’s the problem, if it was so good, why was it unknown? This is not the only movie like this, I’m just using this one as an example. I see this as an indicator of an “art film” that is popular with hipsters at film festivals, and that is all, no general appeal. |

No Country for Old Men is in my top 5!
Avatar is the kind of movie that came to my mind when I read your thread title. |

John Wick, and John Wick II. If I want to watch a video game being played out, I'll tune into that pooter guy's YouTube channel.

I think that both Casablanca and Citizen Kane were nowhere as good as most people claim they are.

99.9999% of every movie nominated for an Oscar in the past 30+ years.

If you're talking Popular just here on ARFCOM, I'd say the top two were Pacific Rim and 13 Hours.

The Blair Witch Project - horror movie with a first person point-of-view camcorder feel. Interest concept/idea. Had a lot of positive press. It started out interesting, but the ending sucked. View Quote |

The Road. Biggest pile of steaming shit I've ever tried to watch. We were praying for the death of the main characters in the first 10 min.

People raved about The Departed
"If you liked Goodfellas and Casino you'll love it" they said. I waited a couple of years and finally watched it. Meh. |

Watched about 45 minutes of the hateful eight last night... horrible

The Deer Hunter. Art house shit that some people were duped into believing was a good war movie, or just a good movie in general. Absolutely suck fest.

Platoon
Just rewatched it this weekend and while a lot of faces became big stars, it tried to hard to be artsy while showing the atrocities and hardships of Vietnam. I hope I never see it again |
