Fell asleep both times I tried to watch The Eternals


The thread title specifically says POPULAR movies.


Sorry.

Speaking of "Eternal," i recall trying to watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and bailed out after 20 minutes.

Ever since I was a kid I would try to watch the Disney "Alice in Wonderland" cartoon and I could only be interested through the first half of it and then tune out eventually EVERY TIME I try to watch it. I even tried a few times after we had kids and even to try to just watch it all. But it's soooo boring.

Side note, I love the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp one and have no problems getting through it several times.

Not sure where the original Dune falls on everyone's popular spectrum, but I've given it multiple tries and just can't make it through.

It did a bad job explaining things. I watched as a kid and thought it was awesome…didn't have a clue what it was about.

Nah ... Vincent Chase totally owned that role. Brilliant.

Rocky Horror


Last quarter ALL of that movie is terrible.


FIFY

My stepson, his wife, and their wedding party did a choreographed dance to this at their reception.

These are people that induced the birth of their first child on Friday the 13th on purpose and whose favorite holiday is Halloween

Same. I love Being John Malkovich and ESotSM seems to be a more popular movie, but I can't get into it.

My original answer to the thread is The Witch.

I have never been able to watch The Matrix all the way through. I can get about twenty or thirty minutes in and can't get into it

It's still awesome. Bonfired should be perma banned.

Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I generally enjoy these kinds of movies but I just couldn't do it. Best picture? Seriously?

I have still never finished John Wick Chapter 4. I got so tired of the 10-minute fight scenes.

I never finished the Flash. Two Ezra Millers is two too many.

Edit: oh he said a popular movie. Nvm

Top Gun

Have you always been a communist?


Lol, I just hate that movie. Red Dawn is 10x better. Hell, I'd rather watch Rocky 4.

Oh, dear God. I forgot about this atrocity. I gave it an hour based on its Oscar rep but I should have known that doesn't really correlate with my preferences anymore. Oh well...at least it was an hour of an international flight so no big loss.

The only thing that comes to mind is the full version of Return of the King. The "ending" takes another half hour or so. I usually quit after the victory over Sauron. End on a high note, you know?

The movie isn't over until they finish walking.

2001 - snooze fest
Apocalypse Now - Parts of the movie are great, a lot of it is boring
Interstellar - Amazing movie for the first 2/3. I hate the last 1/3
The Big Lebowski - I just don't get it. Maybe I need to smoke pot before watching it



The DeNiro scenes as young Vito are the best of the Godfather Trilogy IMO.

The Godfather

Is this an age thing? Given that it was made in the '70s, I could see that it moves too slowly for MODERN AUDIENCES, as the Critical Drinker might say.

For example, I love old Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, but I have to be in the right frame of mind because they do tend to drag.

Or is it a dislike of gangster/mafia movies?



No...I have the olds. I just get bored with it. Maybe it's the length.
