Movies I hate that everyone else loves
E.T. Seriously, is there a worse movie out there? Is there? I saw E.T. when I was very little and I immediately hated it. I've tried watching it since, and it appears it doesn't get better with age.
The Wizard of Oz. Before you ask, no, my distaste for this movie does not stem from the fact that I'm from Kansas. I've just never, ever liked it. Plus, when I was growing up, our next-door-neighbor had an aunt who looked exactly like the Wicked Witch of the West. That didn't help. Neither did wondering if she had a pack of flying monkeys stashed away somewhere.
Punch Drunk Love. Oh, wow. At the time, everyone just went on and on about what a great movie this was, how daring it was, and how it showed that Adam Sandler could really act. I wanted to run screaming from the theater, right after I'd asked for my money back.
Titanic. Another movie that made me want to demand my money back. Why did so many people like this movie? Didn't it win an Oscar, too? Or several? I'm probably alone on this one, but I really, really didn't like it.
