A new thread that has the potential to upset just about anybody who bothers to come in here given the vast differences in our tastes.
But that’s pretty normal for Blitz so without further ado, I will name the first movie that definitely belongs in a thread of this type.
Barry Lyndon
FMD, somehow this incredibly boring period piece of tripe continues to make “top 100 movies of all time” type lists.
I had wanted to watch it for years based on the number of reviews that I had read…now I believe that all those reviewers wouldn’t know an average movie if it bit them on the ar*e…let alone a truly great movie.
3 hours and six minutes of pure boredom with a central character who is best described as unlikable.
Is there anybody out there who can give any sort of explanation for why this is considered so good?
