Popular movies you never 'got'

[Troy]

Ghost, I've lucked out and only seen that movie once...too bad about Mr Swayze though; he finally has the type of field expertise in this area that would have made this role better, but alas...

Ohhhhh . . . tasteful! I've been lucky to never have to sit through all of Grease. Seen enough scenes to know I don't want or need to see it.

Off the top of my head, Casino Royale. I'm not a fan of James Bond movies in general. They are just way too predictible. My co-workers were just raving, RAVING, about how Casino Royale is the best Bond movie since...whatever. I finally watched it a couple of weeks ago and hated it. It was boring and predictible and I thought, if this the best Bond movie then I'm really glad I didn't waste my time watching the previous movies.

I'll buy that. The second Daniel Craig Bond flick, Quantum of Solace is another perfect movie for this list. I was quite entertained by Casino Royale (with cheese), but I've asked people who say they loved QOS to explain the plot to me and no one can! Incomprehensible junk.

Do you have a bigger problem with fantasy than just Tolkien (or the Bible)?

I've chewed on that for a while . . . No, I like fantasy, and can sustain my suspension of disbelief for some pretty ridiculous things, but the term 'fantasy' covers a pretty wide category. By definition, Inglourious Basterds is a fantasy, even though it doesn't have any elves in it. I loved Pixar's Up, and Harvey, and Wizard of Oz, for example, but think the Harry Potter movies suck. Maybe it's about how seriously these movies take themselves.
