I watched Blue Velvet at the college movie theater. Less then halfway through it me and my friends started MSTing it. We all came to the same conclusion about its suckiness at the same time. Oh and all anime sucks moose cock. I like animation but have not been able to get through 10 minutes of any of it. ---

I don’t know if they qualify as “cult”, but these were terrible: Barton Fink Naked Lunch ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > No, I love _Firefly_ > The death of you know who was upsetting but made sense in the movie _Serenity_, but the death in _Dr. Horrible_ was just so aggravating and the consequence resulting from it was :smack: The least Dr. Horrible could have done was kill himself :dubious: It might help if you remember **who the movie was about**. This is one of the movies my 15 yr old daughter and I can really enjoy together (she found it first). ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > Yep, in a good way Having grown up in Texas during the '70’s, \*Dazed and Confused \*totally hit the nail on the head. Well, except for the hitting on teachers and smoking grass on the 50 yard line. Because all the teachers knew we were smoking grass, and we never made it to a football game because we were usually at a party on a Friday night. But yeah - BYOB underage pool hall hangouts, keg parties in the field, dosing between classes - good times.😃 ---

> [@NitroPress](#): > > SF cultists are shocked, shocked I tell you when I say that “Five Million Years to Earth” (aka, I believe, “Quatermass and the Pit”) also bored me silly. The key word being “silly.” I had vague but positive childhood memories about it, finally saw it again just a few weeks ago and was shocked by how bad it was. > [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > I am sure this will produce audible gasps, but I hated **Harold and Maude**. Yes again. I loved H&M back in the 70’s. Saw it again 30 years later and hated it.
