1.
Ryan's Daughter. A collossal waste of film. And talent.
2. Anything by Seth Rogen.
3. Anything by Woody Allen, except Annie Hall. The scene of him sneezing into the cocaine is still funny!
4. Horror movies. Just don't like 'em. Real life scares me enough.
5.
Lawrence of Arabia. Never could sit through it.
6.
Borat/Bruno. Stupid. Boring. Exists to make fun of other people.
7. What's that movie that came out a couple of years ago that the young folks thought was so great but was just an excuse to say f*ck constantly? Yeah, that one. Hated it. Contributes nothing to civilization.
I like:
1.
Citizen Kane. You have to have seen the movies that came
before it to truly appreciate how Orson Welles created a movie language that's still used today - the way the scenes are shot, the way things are spliced together, the fades and the scene transitions. But as far as a story? Not the greatest.
2.
Titanic. I've always been fascinated by that wreck. But the movie is really a soap opera - shortening it by half an hour would improve it.
3.
The Godfather,
The Ring series,
Harry Potter - but the first ones, not the sequels. The quality truly starts to tumble.
4.
Casablanca. If you don't like this, try The Maltese Falcon. Lots of cynicism for the jaded.
5. Movies by Steve Martin...I don't think the younger generation gets absurdist humor.
6. Mel Brooks movies. But his masterpiece,
Blazing Saddles, will soon be forgotten. Unless you sat through all those Westerns back in the 1950s and '60s, you won't understand it.
7.
Napoleon Dynamite. Goes along with that absurdist humor. But it would have been nothing without the dance.
8. Anything by Adam Sandler. What can I say? I like junk food!
