"Pulp Fiction." I expected to really like it but I didn't. I don't hate any movie but there are a few I really don't care for. Hate is too strong a word.
I also didn't like "The Life of Pi." I had read the book and didn't care for the book, either. So, why did I watch the move? Heck if I know. LOL

LOL "Pulp Fiction" is one of my favorite movies! And I liked "The Life of Pi," too. Just goes to show you that one man's junk is another man's treasure, or something like that.
On Rocky. Now there's a new "Rocky" movie of sorts, kind of a spin off. I think its a little contrived but the idea isn't bad. They just didn't quite know how to do it properly. I don't buy the illegitimate 30 year old son of Apollo Creed bringing Rocky back into the business. But I was thinking that with this whole Rousey hype, they could have gone in another direction and had some fun for once with the Rocky franchise. Rocky's best opponent and my personal favorite was Clubber Lang. Rocky could have become Clubber Lang's DAUGHTER's manager and trainer. I always felt they could have had Clubber Lang done a cameo in that last forgettable Rocky film. Show that he cleaned up his life and made peace with Rocky. Just having him interviewed and sharing his analysis on Rocky's fight would have been great.
Clubber and Rocky could have had some great screen time together and Mr. T is sorely missed we should see more of him. It wouldn't have been a straight up comedy but would have been a needed change of pace.
I usually know enough to not see a movie I know I won't like so this one floored me:
Silence of The Lambs: This movie has everything in it I know I would like in a movie plot-wise and character-wise and yet I tried to watch it twice and gave up on it before it was over both times. I think the reason is maybe I found it to be too talky. Conversation is why I read a lot of books. It's not why I go to the movies. I doubt that any critic would comment on the amount of conversation in a movie so maybe that's why no alarm went off for me.
I really hate it when the Academy Award is given to a movie I really didn't like: Shakespeare in Love, American Beauty and the biggest worst movie, Annie Hall. They are movies I was snookered into seeing by people who went with me to the theater. I would have never gone to see them on my own because I would have known from a brief plot description, I wouldn't like them. But obviously, a lot of other people did like them. I would have walked out but like I said, there was another person (not the same person) with me for all 3 movies. Normally, I go to the theater by myself so I can see what I want to see and not compromise on a movie.
I bowed out of Star Wars after Return of The Jedi and never saw another since.
Wow I can't believe how many people mentioned Stanley Kubrick. I think he was a genius.
My first choice would be "Fargo". I HATED that movie but I know a lot of people love it. Why, I can't begin to imagine. I drank an entire bottle of wine trying to endure it.
My second would be "Saving Private Ryan". I just kept wishing someone would kill Private Ryan...and Tom Hanks.
