I'm not talking about the vertual amusement park rides like Tranformers and other action flicks, I'm talking about movies that are nearly universally beloved by most everyone you know, except you.

I got to thinking of this when I heard people returning from seeing Where The Wild Things Are. Of everyone loved it (if I'm gonna wait in line for anything, it better be awesome), but I harked back to the days when other must-see movies came out and I dutifully went to go see it and it fell flat for me.

E.T. - I was completely unmoved. Maybe it was all the hype, but I felt that the little creature looked like a badly constructed muppet. Nothing about the movie worked for me.

Three Men & A Baby - I sat through it once. I was on a date, or I woulda left. I still find it to be one of the most unwatchable movie I know besides Grease 2. Three of my most unfavorite actors are in this movie.

Pulp Fiction - This out-of-sequence scenes principle mighta worked had it tied in with the central plot (if there was one), but like a lot of Tarentino movies, it seems like so much style over substance, where a string of unrelated things happen and the only common thread is the sudden unexpected death of people who are living on borrowed time anyway.

Napolean Dynamite - Oh wait a minute, I get it now...this was funny cuz I actually paid to see it.
