Films that were acclaimed that are actually rubbish

Blade Runner. I just don't get the hype about it. You can also chuck in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Absolute garbage.

Don't have an enormous problem with artistic license as long as it isn't badged as historically accurate - like no-one watches a Tarantino looking for true to life events (I hope).

But you were alright with the sound of music? :-)

And the last Samauri to be fair

Lost in Translation. Absolute crap. That’s a couple of hours of my life I’ll never get back

2 hours and 40 mins of fuck all he tried to save with a 10 minute blood bath.

Forrest Gump
Titanic
Birdman
Moulin Rouge
Castaway
The Revenant
The Beach
Sahara

All of those are shit. Including the ones I haven't seen.
Especially the ones I haven't seen.

Pulp Fiction.
People around me raved about it.

Just an honest question, jh. (Blade Runner's up there in my top five films, out of hundreds that I've seen). My brother's got no time for it, but he says science fiction films in general bore him. Is that the case with you?

Original Bladerunner was brilliant.

99% of free films on amazon prime - shite

Not at all. It wouldn't be my favourite genre, that's true. But Close Encounters is one of my favourite films. Love Silent Running, the original SW trio, the second and third Star Trek films (Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock), 2001, the first two Terminator films, Capricorn One, Outland. I just can't get into BR, and I'm not gone on the unrelenting darkness of the film. But it's got a huge (you might say, "massive"!) cult following now, so I would appear to be in the minority. So be it.


*Edit* Think calling Capricorn One a Sci fi film might be stretching it a bit though!
