Films you dont get but other people rave over on 13:54 - Nov 13 by TheMoralMajority
Also mark me down as not a fan of PT Anderson. I always find them fairly cold. Boogie Nights is an exception though.
Dunkirk. I honestly thought this was poor. Go big or go small, don't try and do both because it is a mess. Also it really could have done with some SFX rather than 5 people running around a beach.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Garden State are 2 others which are lauded, but I have down as pointless drivel.
Cold is exactly how I'd describe them too. They have this weirdly sterile, soulless quality to them that I just can't get into.

Tenat, thought it was one of the biggest waste of times ever. Also, The Irishman.
Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese are probably my favourite directors around, but these two for me were flops.
Re the Irishman, I think its good but not great especially compared to Scorses's other films however I highly recommend the book on which its based its called I hear you paint houses. Read it years before the film was made and thought it would make and incredible movie which maybe is why I was disappointed. Also dont like the AI stuff to make actors look younger, you can work with different actors Marty.

We saw the film at a cinema in Guernsey and the two elderly “Guerns”next to us constantly said in an outraged manner “That’s not Guernsey” Amusing at first but soon became a pain.

Fight club.......maybe I need to watch it again.
On the Christmas theme....elf. I don't get it.
Fight club is definitely a second watch movie. I first saw it at the cinema and came out thinking "wtf was that about?". I then watched it at home a few months later and it all clicked. Once you get it, it's a great movie.

Used to absolutely love that film and still has a fond place for me, but watched it again recently and it's a bit more Andrew Tate-y than I remembered compared to watching it as a rebellion chasing teen! Which did put me off slightly. Obviously not anywhere near that pr1cks level, and it was 25 years ago and it's still very good in my eyes, but just enough as a middle aged bloke vs a teen to knock it down a bit.
Edit: Fight club, not Elf. Elf is a classic though!

Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs. Perhaps I haven't been in the right mood when watching them but turned both off. Gratuitous violence and not much else to offer. Really didn't get the hype.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
