Movies I Should Like But Don't

With the opening of New Moon this past weekend ( a movie Dianna and Latisha tell me that I will like a lot better than Twilight, which won't be hard since Twilight set the bar so low) and the release of the remastered classic Gone With the Wind, I thought it would be a good time to do this post. Since I've already mentioned it, let's start with a classic:

Gone With the Wind - Some old movies are classics and some are just old. This one is just old. It's way too long and who cares about any of these characters, I don't. But mainly it's just boring.

E.T. : The Extra-Terrestrial - Sentimental and heartwarming, whatever. I'm a sucker for sentimental and heartwarming this one just left me irritated for wasting my time and money.

Star Wars - Sorry, I've just never understood the love for these. I don't hate them, I just don't like them that much. I appreciated the advancement in special effects and it did start my life long man crush on Harrison Ford (he still has a great smile), but I always enjoyed the Star Trek movies more, even the horrible ones directed by Shatner.

The Big Lebowski - What you don't like The Big Lebowski? I'm as surprised as you. This seems like it would be one of my favorites. I love the Coen brothers and have absolutely loved everything else done by them. I don't know why I don't like this one, but it just didn't do anything for me.

There you go 4 movies (ok actually 9 since there were 6 Star Wars movies) that people love that I don't like, so let me here some of yours.

How about the greatest movies. The Color Purple, Kill Bill, Dead Man Walking, Field of Dreams (I still cry), The Green Mile, Pulp Fiction, School of Rock, you get the gist.

Pulp Fiction. Sorry Mark.

Hank, Haven't see The Color Purple or Dead Man Walking but the other's are good.

Allison, It's alright that you don't like Pulp Fiction. It is a Great movie, but I can understand people not being able to get past Tarentino's love of profanity and violence to appreciate the story of redemption.
