People Are Sharing The Beloved Movies That They Just Can’t Get Into No Matter How Hard They Try

Has this ever been you when people discuss a popular movie:

1. “Honestly, The Fast and the Furious franchise. Fun for what it is, but I never understood the hype or emotional attachment people have to it.”

3. “Oppenheimer (2023). It felt like a creatively edited Wikipedia entry. I didn’t hate it or anything, but idk if it was as good as the hype.”

—u/doyouknowwatiamsayin

4. “The English Patient (1996).”

—u/Longjumping-Oil-7419

5. “Wicked (2024).”

—u/SurvivingUgly

6. “I am a biker. Easy Rider (1969) is supposed to be like our anthem. To me, it’s not a biker movie. It’s a hippie, druggy movie, with bikes.”

—u/Playauknow

7. “Probably Titanic (1997). Three hours, and I was rooting for the iceberg just to wrap things up.”

—u/Ophelia_ivyX

8. “Twilight (2008). I’ve never even watched the other three movies.”

11. “2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) jumped out at me immediately, and not for lack of trying either. I’ve tried to watch it several times, hoping I’d end up liking it finally.”

—u/MC4269

12. “Avatar (2009). I love sci-fi. I love cool ass mechs. I love explodey stuff. But the ‘I’ve come to understand you people and protect you all’ just rubs me the wrong way.”

13. “Blair Witch Project (1999). I’m big into horror and was even more so when the movie came out. I’d heard so much praise and how scary it was…It’s boring, and everyone is annoying. I wish they’d all died earlier so we’d be rid of them and the movie would be over.”

14. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…The Babadook (2014).”

—u/PrincessPoopyPoo

15. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) felt like I was forced to sit through a circle jerk with Quentin and his buddies.”

—u/brush_science

16. “Napoleon Dynamite (2004). I usually find humor pretty easy to get into, but I could not force a laugh at any point in that movie. I still feel mildly defective when I think of it.”

—u/riddermarkrider

17. “K-pop Demon Hunters (2025).”

—u/MangoTheHillieverse

18. “Elf (2003).”

—u/bmmb87

19. “Lost in Translation (2003).”

—u/FoxOpposite9271

20. “The 50 Shades movies. The books were horrible, but I thought the movies might be better. I was wrong.”

—u/Moist-Release-9227

21. “Gravity (2013). I found it empty (lol).”

—u/BatsuDRylex

22. “I did not get what’s so great about Moulin Rouge! (2001).”

—u/Negative_Credit9590

23. “Top Gun (1986). Not the gritty war movie you expected. It’s just a ridiculous, camped-up chick flick with a cast of grinning douchebags. Very Tom Cruise.”

—u/Jolly-Minimum-6641

24. “The Breakfast Club (1985).”

—u/openredd

25. “Maybe I’m wrong, but: Inception (2010).”

—u/residualshadow

26. “Interstellar (2014). Is it a good film? Yeah, it’s fine… It’s nowhere near as ‘BEST FILM EVER!’ that people claim it is, though. The first half is good, the rest is just silly.”

—u/MDFHASDIED

27. “Pretty Woman (1990).”

—u/BradleyVeryShining

28. “Barbie (2023).”

—u/prncssfairydumplings

29. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).”

—u/Dizzy_Tart_9758

30. “Dune (2021).”

—u/Raivotril

31. “I did not care for The Godfather (1972). It’s a meme, but it’s also my answer.”

—u/Fine-Sherbert-141

32. “Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). It was just a bit too random, disjointed and all over the place for me. Not a big fan of alternative universes in stories.”

—u/Darkcloud246

33. And finally, “Superman (2025). It was extremely cheesy.”
