      When this came out I went to the ends of the world to get a copy after missing out on all of the references… And then it was fine. I think it’s kinda funny know but I don’t understand how it blew up the way it did

      I’m from a small town in idaho. I’m surprised that movie got as popular as it did. That movie felt like it was made for us…

    Rocky Horror has one of the weakest 3rd acts I’ve ever seen.

    Ive never seen the live show so it might just be pains trying to fit a 2 act musical into a traditional 3 act movie

      I have watched it a bunch. But saw it first a live cast and with people who were really into it. So any re-watch brings me back to that time. Being high helps lol

    The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there’s no resolution it’s just a cliffhanger into the next movie.

    I’m afraid to watch the Princess Bride because everyone I know loves it and begs me to watch it and I’m afraid it will be terrible and when they ask me how it was I’ll have to lie

      Speaking as someone who also loves the movie: I won’t hate you of it’s not your jam, but give it a try nonetheless! Worst case you just lost some time, but you at least gave it a shot.

    I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.

      I wholeheartedly disagree but can understand why. I love it, but I feel like if I watched it now, I wouldn’t, or at least not nearly as much as I remember. It’s pretty over the top, but Chris tucker as ruby rhod is one of my favorite parts. I think it was also the time it came out. There wasn’t a whole lot like it, that I can remember.

      Same. So much non-sense. I remembered it epic. I watched a month ago and I regretted it to have wasted my time like that

    Synecdoche New York. Every one of my friends who’ve seen it think it’s brilliant. I tried watching it and felt like I was losing my mind. I know that’s the point, but that doesn’t make it a good movie!

      I fucking love that movie. It’s like my number 1 of all time. But I’m glad other people don’t like it because that gives me hope for humanity lol

    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

    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.
