Movies you'd have to be kind of an asshole not to like

To Kill A Mockingbird, only I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like it.

Huh? In case that isn’t clear: :confused:

I enjoy all 3 of these movies. Now, if you had posted Dumb and Dumber, Porkies and* Jackass*–maybe…

I own all the MP movies and their soundtracks. Caddy Shack was posted by me on page one. I also like Ghostbusters and Stripes.

You need to be around more women, I think.

I also love Meet Me in St Louis, not only for the songs and the humor but for the sheer brattiness of Tuttie (Tootie?). Hollywood usually (still does) made kids sickeningly sweet and mawkish–she was a hellhound and not very likable. It’s refreshing.

Here are a few more movies:

Arthur

High Society (or The Philadelphia Story)

Hard Day’s Night

The Sure Thing

Sixteen Candles

But that is the point of the OP–there are more movies than one would think, no? One man’s asshole is another man’s jerk. I disagree with Bambi–too treacly.

I thought it was the one where Legolas joins the crusades with Qui-Gon.

Oh, my movie is “Spirited Away”. If you don’t like this movie, then you’re not really a human being. You’re some sort of soul-less pod masquerading as a human.

Seconded.

A Christmas Story. It is the only movie that I know of that became a timeless classic almost as soon as it was released.

Damn, I think Shagnasty wins the thread.

I haven’t seen about half of those, but the only one on the list I saw and didn’t like was Good Morning. I only made it about halfway through that movie…I’m a big fan of Ozu’s movies, but this was something totally different, and felt less like a movie than a very stretched out sitcom episode from the 50s…

Forgot Moonstruck.

Came in to say just that.

Interesting. Possibly you’re just not comfortable discussing film.

Life is Beautiful

Like the opinion of a talented artist means anything. He grumbles and walks away dejected. “I don’t need you, all I need is this ashtray…”.

Excellent choices. Consider them added to my original list.

I’ve been told I was an asshole for not liking Pulp Fiction. I found it irritating and pretentious. I loved Reservoir Dogs though.

For me, it’s The Princess Bride. You could pick any other movie I love and cherish from my childhood or any newer movie I admire and tell me how much you dislike it, how cliche it is or how badly directed and I would agree to respectfully disagree.

But if you dislike The Princess Bride? That’s just unfathomable.

Sorry but it has to be said. You mean “inconceivable!”

Came in to say this.

We might want to differentiate between “like” and “appreciate”.

I have seen Cuckoo’s Nest and it was a very good film. I never want to see it again.

Therefore, while I appreciate that it is a good movie, I make no claims to “liking” it.

I may well be an asshole, but I don’t think this is evidence of it :wink:

raises hand
I hated To Kill A Mockingbird.

Well, you got me curious. :smiley:
