Showing Original Post only (View all)What critically acclaimed or "block buster movies" do you not care for? [View all]
For me I swim against the tide on "Star Wars" ( Now I loved Star Trek, BattleStar Galactica{the original} and Andromeda so I'm not anti science fiction), The Wizard of Oz, The Grapes of Wrath, and Gone with the Wind.
I do like the music from Wizard of Oz just not the movie.

"Maybe it was something that needed to be seen in the '80s when it first came out."

You needed to see it on a day when you and friends ditched school and ordered pizza

Did not care much for Gravity, despite the 10 Academy Award nominations and 7 Oscars won

I wouldn't change your mind about a movie just because someone said they didn't like it.

I didn't get why the Big Lebowsky is supposed to be funny. Saw it in 2009 and shrugged.

All saccharine overload movies like Forest Gump. Also, any Tarantino movie. So pretentious.

Don't care for "blockbusters" at all. They're all about Special Effects for foreign distribution/$$.

I try to avoid all "blockbusters" Special effects, car crashs and men in tights don't interest me.

The Matrix. The closest I've ever gotten to simply leaving the theater halfway through

the writing and directing in Wolf is just awful though. Hated it. Goodfellas was so well done.
