This thread should be split into two.

The first would be "Movies so dumb I don't get why anyone wants to watch them" (e.g. Titanic)

The second would be "Movies I'm way too stupid to understand" (e.g. movies by Tarantino or Kubrick)

Titantic. I wanted Leo DiCaprio to die so badly by the end.

The Big Lebowski. I think it's funny, but I really don't get a lot of it.

It follows creeped me out so bad. I thought it was a metaphor for AIDS but there's a lot of theories floating around the Internet.


I think it was a statement about the unforeseen emotional/psychological consequences of hook-up culture.

Kinda late in the game for an aids metaphor.

I'm generally not a fan of the so-called brilliant subtle thrillers like It Follows and The Babadook.
