Agreed.
People misunderstand these threads and think a vote means you think the movie sucks. It’s a good movie, I just don’t think in the top 3 or 5 of all time like where most lists place it.

Personally, I’ve always had trouble with movies where the main character is a villain/anti-hero. So mob movies in particular I’ve had harder times connecting with.
Didn’t have HBO at the time so I never watched it, but yeah that’s a big reason I haven’t dived in since.
Same with Breaking Bad.

The Sandlot, The Goonies, and Forrest Gump IMMEDIATELY come to mind.

Sounds like you hate kids and fun.
Nope, I like kids and fun but those 3 movies are not good. The Goonies is far worse than The Sandlot, but both are not enjoyable IMO but seem to be widely liked.

Did not, for the same reason.
Just have trouble liking the main guy who’s also the villain.
I don't think I've ever met someone that didn't like The Goonies.
I'm assuming you are not a kid from the 80's.
Born in 86. I had never heard of it until I moved to Iowa in 1st grade. All the kids in the neighborhood LOVED it, and told me it was amazing. Then we all watched it and I'm fairly certain I reached a new level of boredom during that movie.
It becomes a love hate. Also and esp because him being "bad" is on a scale compared to the folks around him.
That's interesting, I'm the opposite. I love movies where the bad characters are the main plot line. I like it even better when the bad guys come out on top and get away with it. (Whatever it is)
I actually tried watching The Goonies for the first time last summer and quit about 45 minutes in.
I couldn't watch it as a child, there's noooooo way I'd attempt it as an adult haha. We're in the minority but I just don't understand what people like about the movie. It's just not funny, not exciting, nothing.
The Shining was bad. I know Kubrick did scenery and colors or some artsy stuff but it was terrible.
Yeah that asshole would have eventually gotten an ass whuppin.
That was one of those movies I enjoyed and thought was interesting and never want to watch again.
I don't know how people feel about JJ Abrams as a film/TV maker, but his trademark lens flare shit to signify important moments is one of the absolute worst things ever.
I'm a big fan of Fringe, but having to endure that annoying & useless lens flare multiple times an episode just pisses me off. He does it with all his movies, too.
If you need blinded to be clued in to know something impactful is happening or being imparted, you're probably kinda mentally impaired.

One of the longest days of my life: Daughter and I watched the first two Lord of the Rings movies at home, then went and saw the third on in the theater. All on the same day. Brutal.
Daughter was happy tho.
Daughter was happy tho.
I dunno...it was over 20 years ago now. I don't remember what I had for lunch.
It was LONG AS FVCK tho!
I still enjoy those, have rewatched them a couple times…but yeah, can’t do any of them in one sitting.
It is cool that many of the actors were refugees from Europe. Marlene Dietrich and Billy Wilder were two of those helping them out.
In the late 1930s, Dietrich created a fund with Billy Wilder and several other exiles to help Jews and dissidents escape from Germany. In 1937, her entire salary for Knight Without Armor ($450,000) was put into escrow to help the refugees. In 1939, she became an American citizen and renounced her German citizenship.
