Avatar. Waste of everybody's time. I don't get everyone's fascination with that junker.

Ditto!

I have no desire to see it, and I don't understand society's obsession with it.

Here are two that I never saw until later in my adult life.

Casablanca - Never watched it until my wife made me about 10 years ago. Excellent movie.

Godfather - Another one I never saw until about 6 years ago. The 1st one's great, the 2nd's good, the 3rd's....meh..

You probably have no idea what Im talking about, but dont worry, you will someday. My God, American Beauty is a great work. The dialog is what makes it for me.

Oh, I have an idea. I love that movie and think most of it is brilliant.

I take a lot of crap for it though. It's one of the "cool movies to hate". Because people think it "tries too hard" at being deep or meaningful. (Plastic bag scene, etc.) I see it more as a black comedy, intentionally overdone...but brilliant. The mid-life crisis, the teenage stuff, the affair, the job, the gay neighbor, Ricky...it's done that way intentionally. It's not meant to be realistic or believable. I think people just hate it because they heard they should hate it.
