Sorry, are you mental?
And I am not sure Good Morning Vietnam and Interview with the Vampire are really rated - at least not in anywhere near the same class as the above. But I suppose it depends on whose rating...

Citizen Kane
Quite the most boring film I've ever had the misfortune to see.
Sorry.

Nope. Just didn't enjoy them at all. Maybe it was the fact I was expecting them to be fantastic. But just couldn't understand what the fuss was about. I love films aswell and they just didn't do it for me.

Its a Wonderful Life - wife nagged me for years to watch it and loads of people told it was superb...........I fell asleep after half an hour.

It tends to be pop cultural things for me - after many people telling me how good the Matrix was, I found it the most appallingly nonsensical and cynical piece of crap I'd watched in a long time.

This is going to be one of those discussions isn't it?
The problem is that there are two different things here: 1. Direct Personal Opinions: I like this, I don't like this. Those are as they are and it's unlikely anyone is going to change them. However, there's also 2. Quality. This is much more difficult because it does not just depend on opinions but on understanding the 'language of film' technical and emotional, having the patience to go beyond simple and immediate reactions etc. etc.
So someone has every right to think that Citizen Kane is boring (and they can't be 'wrong' in that), but that doesn't make Citizen Kane a film of low quality or cultural worth. There's too much about it that is technically and dramatically brilliant. Those things will never persuade everyone to enjoy it, however.

it's not meant to be an indepth discussion. It's just to see what people like and don't like.
For instance I don't know anyone male or female who doesn't like The Godfather. I do know people who love Raging Bull and know people who don't (me included) So it was just really a bit of fun to be honest.

....I agree...although the chunk in the middle which contained the action was pretty good though....domtyler said:

ah but come on FM, Citizen Kane truly was a pile of horseshit.
