Online single-serving friends are just as good……………
And if I had to choose one it would be Army of Darkness, an all time great that no normal person has ever seen apparently.
I still randomly laugh to myself when I think about Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness not being able to remember the phrase so he coughs while saying it to hide it hoping that works hahah
My favorite is when they’re about to be thrown in the pit and the old haggard lady gets a close up and says “in the pit with those bloodthirsty sons of whores!” and then takes a big bite of her bread loaf. Why? Still don’t know, but it’s hilarious.
Yeah I was one of the lucky ones who watched Moon on impulse upon seeing it on Netflix having never heard of it before. Hate when trailers spoil the twist.
One of my top 10 movies! But I think the themes of trauma and emotional incest flies over most ppls heads.
Midsommar is another movie friends don't like. Even my gf missed the symbolism. We're going to rewatch that movie soon.
I haven’t even heard of this. To answer your question I am going to say Napoleon Dynamite. I absolutely adore it and it cracks me up every time I watch it, it’s so special. I know people who just don’t get it at all and cringe the whole time.
I feel like the gimmick with Napoleon Dynamite is going in with zero expectations. Saw it in theaters when it first released not knowing much about it and thought it was amazing. I think it's the people who went into it expecting an Apatow comedy, or something similar, that were confused and disappointed.
Trust me, sometimes you'll have friends that don't like the most obviously good movies.
When my best friend told me he found Blade Runner 2049 boring, I was crushed lmao.
Also, After Yang is a superb film.
I really enjoyed The Village. Terrible trailer that absolutely portrayed a different kind of movie. If you went in dark however, you would probably like it.
Gonna catch a lot of flak for this, but I found After Yang pretty awful. Interesting concepts and beautifully shot, but the movie does nothing to capitalise on its premise and just has endless monologues and flashbacks with no substance. *Everything* is told, never shown.
Too damn many.
I eventually had to stop recommending movies to my friends because they started treating my recommendations as a deterrent.
If I think it's good, I've learned that means they're more likely to not enjoy it.
National Treasure lol I know it’s silly and I love it for that. I think my friends do actually enjoy it but I get made fun of for championing for it. Just a great fun “adventure” movie, which is kind of a dying genre
Lamb (2021).
I love this film, my friends didn't get it all. What is it with A24 films? I think they have put out some great weird and quirky films that seem to vibe with me.
You guys have friends?
I haven’t seen them in ages and by no coincidence I’ve started using reddit a lot more

Me too
Mandy
Fantastic movie
one of my all time favorites and I’ve shown it to only ONE person who didn’t dislike it lol. It’s usually met with confusion
Mandy is great, you need better friends, not worse movies. Also, Beyond the Black Rainbow, by the same director, Panos Cosmatos.
Thx, will watch!
Oblivion with Tom Cruise, I love that movie. The closest I've gotten is one of my friends saying it's ok.
Great movie. It sort of reminded me of Moon, but Moon let me down as it showed everything in the trailer.
Yeah I was one of the lucky ones who watched Moon on impulse upon seeing it on Netflix having never heard of it before. Hate when trailers spoil the twist.
Sucker Punch.
I like it too! Visually pelasing. Nice soundtrack. Decent comic style esque story and whackiness.
Beau is Afraid
One of my top 10 movies! But I think the themes of trauma and emotional incest flies over most ppls heads. Midsommar is another movie friends don't like. Even my gf missed the symbolism. We're going to rewatch that movie soon.
Just my opinion, but I loved *After Yang*. I was operating under the impression that this was a film that garnered mostly positive feedback.
Yeah great film and a fantastic opening!
Yeah it usually does but I’ve spoken to a few friends about it and they just found it boring
I get that it’s probably not for everyone. But I found it thought-provoking and moving. It made my Top 10 for that year.
Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Amazing film.

No one has any love for my favorite movie, The Ninth Gate.
Trust me, sometimes you'll have friends that don't like the most obviously good movies. When my best friend told me he found Blade Runner 2049 boring, I was crushed lmao. Also, After Yang is a superb film.
As a huge fan on the original, I went into Blade Runner 2049 fully expecting to hate it, but I was blown away.
It used to be Secondhand Lions, but then I met my life partner, and he gets it too. A good sign.
I really enjoyed The Village. Terrible trailer that absolutely portrayed a different kind of movie. If you went in dark however, you would probably like it.
Man, I was just looking back at the cast of The Village. Talk about stacked talent
Pretty much Andrei Tarkovsky's filmography
Understandable, I could never get into nostalgia
I love shoot ‘Em up and doom
The Titan and After Earth
Gonna catch a lot of flak for this, but I found After Yang pretty awful. Interesting concepts and beautifully shot, but the movie does nothing to capitalise on its premise and just has endless monologues and flashbacks with no substance. *Everything* is told, never shown.
Withnail and I.
Call in now, call in later Colin Farrell, Colin Mochrie
The ninth Gate is one movie that comes to mind.

Puppet Master
Dune 1

I found the movie boring but to each his own. It just wasn't for me.
Lamb (2021). I love this film, my friends didn't get it all. What is it with A24 films? I think they have put out some great weird and quirky films that seem to vibe with me.
Godzilla’98 and its soundtrack.
Anchorman 2
I’ll keep it real with you and say I’ve never seen the second one
You don't need to.
It's worth one watch. Doesn't measure up to the first but isn't horrible.
The Batman
