Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.
Heathers is better for that kind of movie
The inglorious bastards. It treats a very serious subject matter with too much quirky humor.
Also the Nazi slaughter group is basically like an Einsatz Gruppe, but for slaughtering German soldiers. Literally locking people in a building (often a church) and then setting it ablaze was a technique used against Jews.
Just reversing the roles doesn’t make it an act that’s worth cheering for, like people did in the cinema when I saw it. I couldn’t detach myself from that, hence why I did personally not enjoy it.
“German soldiers”
Listen. It is one of the hardest cases to discern guilt in wartime situations. Membership of the nazi parti or being a german soldier is not per se a sign of guilt. Just like just being a jew is no reason to be killed, too. I’m all for sentencing war criminals, but the soldier killed by bear jew nor the people sitting in the cinema (aside from Hitlers direct circle) have been proven to be guilty of war crimes.
If you applaud them burning, you’re basicly using the same system of dehumanising a group of people as the nazi party and the SS used for making people belief sloughtering jews, gypsies, gay people is ok. That is very, very wrong.
Nope. It’s always based and cool to kill a Nazi. Not gonna let people like you equate a group of fascists who kill everyone but themselves to the groups that just want to exist.

I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.
lmao, I just recently realised I’ve seen that movie so many times and have no idea what it’s about.
Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.
I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.
So i’m not the only one.
It bored me. Tried the second one, didn’t get better.
Almost all of them when I had read the book first.
The Hobbit
The latest (The Hobbit) I got my son to read the book, then watch the movies and he’s like ‘Whaaaaaa???’ because they tried to amplify it into a blockbuster.
So yes, Great movie - but sucked after reading the book.
The latest The Hobbit(s) were terrible, the old animated film was actually not bad.
I had friends who actually preferred the Hobbit to LOTR because of more action (according to them) But then I slowly told them all the shit that they just added for no reason and now they hate me
I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.
I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .
Princess Bride
So dull, nothing funny, no redeeming feature
I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.
I’m Gen-X and showed my Gen Z kids Better off Dead recently. They quite liked it. I think it’s just so goofy anyone could enjoy it. I DON’T think they’d like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - too talky.
My 13-year-old enjoyed Better Off Dead too. Especially “I want my two dollars!”
No country for old men. I get that it’s supposed to be bleak and not resolve at the end. I still hate that it’s bleak and doesn’t resolve at the end. I didn’t really get the “amazingness” of the coin flip scene either.
I also thought Blade Runner was ok, but the whole “tears in the rain” monologue is so hyped on the internet that it was a bit meh when it actually happened.

Yes! I was expecting more, and was left feeling cheated at the end with no resolution. It felt like wasted time.
Big Lebowski … I mean I enjoyed it but not enough to join the cult
Give it another try, I was also confused during my first watch, but now it’s one of my favorite movies
Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn’t. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn’t hit where it should’ve
Second this. Did not enjoy watching that
“That’s just, like… your opinion, man.
Agreed! I don’t know if I need to rewatch or something, but I could not get into it nor do I understand the hype surrounding it online.
This and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I love TBL now, but I really wasn’t sure after my first watch, it all felt quite disjointed. Seen it many many times then though, and I really like it now, so I’d say it’s worth another go.
Rocky Horror Picture Show was dumb as fuck.
I’m afraid to watch the Princess Bride because everyone I know loves it and begs me to watch it and I’m afraid it will be terrible and when they ask me how it was I’ll have to lie
Speaking as someone who also loves the movie: I won’t hate you of it’s not your jam, but give it a try nonetheless! Worst case you just lost some time, but you at least gave it a shot.
Donnie Darko.
Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.
Nah, it was at least a little terrible.
Breakfast club. It doesn’t age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he’s the hero.
