Greatest/Best of/Most Wonderful lists
I got to thinking about these lists recently, and realized they are somewhat subjective. Especially with movies and books, some of the movies and books on those lists I consider to the biggest wastes of film or paper ever.
So what movies or books (or restaurants!) on someone's best of lists do you dislike? Doesn't matter the reason, it's just something on a best of list that you don't think should be there.
My list:
Gone with the wind (movie and book)- tech for the time amazing, costumes and lighting superb, the movie was based on one of the most badly written wastes of paper ever.
Pulp fiction- did you know that this movie uses the eff word and its variations 17 times in the first four minutes? Great movie if you are an insomniac.
Idiocracy- BBBBOOOORRRRIIIINNNGG
If you can make it through the first ten minutes, more power to you!
Emma- the one Jane Austen book i hated. Could barely make it through the first chapter without wanting to reach in and slap the main character silly. Supposedly Jane Austen couldn't stand Emma either!
The Incredibles- not only could I say most of the dialouge before the characters, I actually feel asleep in the theatre, and woke able to not feel like I had missed anything.
These are just a few. What are yours?
