Ok, based on the ones you mention…you must have terrible taste in movies or you just simply hate every movie everyone loves. Die Hard?!?! It was so good literally every action movie for the next 30 years is basically Die Hard in a different setting!

I’m interested to hear a few movies you do like… 🤣 not being a dick…genuinely interested.

Out of Africa. Fell asleep in the theater. I'm gonna catch hell for this, but Caddyshack. It's not that I don't like it, there are several timeless one-liners, I just didn't think it was that good as a whole.
Hated Caddyshack II.

You also have to consider huge box office hits. IMO, most heavy CGI movies are overrated.

A lot of the movies made today, are made to accomodate the short attention spans of younger people.
A movie like "Shawshank Redemption" would be a bust.

And some of these series being shown on the various streaming networks, are quite excellent and better than regular movies.
Truthfully, "Shawshank Redemption" didn't exactly burn it up at the box offense, either. It was much better received beyond the theaters.

It's in my top 10. And I consider myself as having a pretty lengthy attention span.

Most of the movies that win the awards are garbage. It’s just the artsy fartsy award people pumping up themselves or deciding it’s someone’s time to win one. Not always the case, but often the case. The criteria they have for a film to be nominated these days is insane. It rules out about 90% of the movies made.
Yeah, the nominated movie has to be drowning in woke sentiment.

Out of Africa was a truly horrendous movie. It should never have even been nominated. I guess the name alone is good enough for Hollywood.

ELF is the stupidest movie in existence. Why it’s lauded as a Christmas classic is baffling. Between the kindergarten humor, Will Ferrell’s horrible overacting, and the idiotic premise, it’s a **** ing stinker. I will never understand the moronic appeal of this movie.
