Movies you dont like most people like

I dont like the Lord of the rings trilogy
The whole Star Wars universe nor Titanic

Everyone seems to like it though

Am proud to admit that I have never seen any of those and never will .
Also never seen any film based on a Comic figure , Transformers or Sound of Music .

Am locked into Italian and French Cinema -- say 1960 to 2005 and starting with Rocco and his brothers directed by the maestro Visconti .

Everyone liked Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I couldn’t have hated a movie more.
 
I didn’t think the Hunger Games was very good

People seemed to love it though
 
I’ve tried to sit through Citizen Kane at least a couple times. It may be one of the greatest movies of all time, but I can never make it to the end

For once we are agreed.

Citizen Kane may be the most overrated dreck to ever proclaim itself as some sort of pop culture genius.

I don't get it.

I mean.

I GET IT.

But I don't get it.
 
WHAT?!!?!?!?!

Dude.

No.

Just NO.

Taxi Driver, Good Fellas and Casino are the only way DeNiro ever makes it onto my screen again.

Goodfellas is one of my all time favorite films. Casino is very good. Just not a fan of Taxi Driver.

For crime films American Gangster with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe is great. Heat is great. Donnie Brasco is really good. And of course the first two Godfather films.

I don't mean to be a busybody - but I respect your game here.

What the **** - EXACTLY - do you not appreciate about Taxi Driver?

I will confess to genuine curiosity...

Good question. I worked in Mental Health Emergency Services for years. I would go out with cops to evaluate psychotic, homicidal, suicidal people. Occasionally the criminally insane. I dealt with a fair share of Travis Bickles in my career. In graduate school my first year internship was in a medium/ maximum security prison working mostly with sex offenders.

The last ten years I did evals in an inner city ER. So, long story short, watching Taxi Driver is like being at work. Not fun. But I recognize it is a very well done movie. And I am a big Scorsese fan. I really like most of his movies (The Departed and Shutter Island :thup:
