Movies

[stevensm4]

What are some movies that you have seen that were critically acclaimed but for you, after you watched them, there was nothing praiseworthy or really that great about them? Over the past few weeks I've been watching some of the top 100 greatest movies of all time like Vertigo, North by Northwest, Bonnie and Clyde, etcetera. They were fine films and whatever but for the most part, they were pretty boring.

I liked all those movies. You're much too hard to please, dude.

Perhaps I am a movie nut, though. Could be.

Not even. I liked Psycho and Rear Window but stuff like Cool Hand Luke, Rebel Without a Cause, Murder on the Orient Express, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...they were fine films but I don't get what the big deal is.

That is very interesting.

I just enjoy movies, to relax and get everything out of my mind for a bit.  Sometimes though I do find like they are getting no where fast.

I like all the movies you mentioned. Bonnie and Clyde is one of my favorites. That's ok if they're not your thing though. You don't always have to enjoy a movie to appreciate it. I've watched nearly all of the movies ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. There's a good lot of them that I'd rather never see again, but I can still appreciate their significance. I would rather stab my eyes out with a fork than to watch The Last Emperor again, but it was beautifully filmed.
