I'm talking about films that critics are raving about 50, 40, 30 years later. Films that have an iconic status or are deemed "important" (I think there's no such thing as an important film unless it has real aliens or God Hisself in it  ).
And most particularly, any films you were shown in art college where your tutor sniffled in the back muttering: "Superb. Brilliant. Masterpiece!" 
My three are:
The Blues Brothers - Some of the worst acting and contrived scenes ever.
Bluto and Daddy Conehead appear out of it for the entire movie and there's only so many times I can listen to "Minnie the Moocher" or "Rawhide"in a 5 minute period.
Annie Hall - Unless you are a neurotic New York Jew who writes films simply to string one-liners together, I have no idea why anyone thinks of this as anything other than a 90 minute soap opera.
????? - I've blanked the name, it's such dross. That one where Max von Sydow plays chess with death. Set a whole generation of film-makers to thinking they could get away with dreamy, existentialist, self-absorbed nonsense, poorly shot and badly edited.
And yours? |
Sorry, Blade Runner is the best Science Fiction movie ever.
If you missed title Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergmann) then you probably love
cheap new age violent movies which are easy to understand, I would say.
My 2 cents - most of last few years movies without any point and meaning.
No offence, cheers all.
