This idea just popped into my head for a thread that i think might be interesting to read, or at least interesting to me .. Somehow in the Today in Movies thread the old Ghostbusters came up and i mentioned id seen it on release in the Lake Forest theater in the East and , even as a 10 year old, i didnt fall in love with it - or really even like it- though it was absolutely huge .. So what films did you maybe want to like, or want to understand why other people loved them, but it just wasnt happening for you ?
So i have two:
Good Will Hunting.. im the exact target demo for that movie, im the same age as those guys, seems like it would have been right in my wheelhouse and i saw it on its release but … i dont know, maybe it was too on the nose, or too something but it didnt resonate with me like it seems to have with others.
The Big Lebowski.. saw it a couple years after it came out.. and i just- No…. All these years later, and all the millions of times people have quoted it, all i can figure is maybe it’s because i wasnt a stoner ?
To be fair, there are many films i worship to an unhealthy level, but the two above just dont do it for me .
@Bill is exempt from this thread since he claims to have literally only seen two movies in his entire life .
