In Reply to: Movies I've Walked Out On -- A Questionnaire posted by clarkjohnsen on December 19, 2000 at 12:41:05:
... when I was in university this was doing the rounds of the local midnight cinemas. It bacame a cult "ironic" film to see because of the stupidity of the story and the naiveity of the script - you know, get stoned and go to see the silly uncool film. I went to see it with a few mates but we left after about 15 minutes as it actually turned out the be the most BORING film I've ever seen.I also walked out about half way through Fellini's 8 1/2, but that was a long time ago and I've seen it subsequently and enjoyed it.

I must have been watching crap for the last 20 years. I don't get it. What constitutes a good film for you all? What is it that you're looking for: original ideas, things you've never seen before, filming techniques, more T&A, what? Saving Private Ryan, Shindler's List are bad movies?Let me tell you what I think is wrong with this picture...excuse the pun, but by being such die-hard fans of film you've gained much, but lost something very critical. It's called suspension of disbelief. Being hard-core fans, you know what this means, but do you practice it on a regular basis? Or do you only accept this feature when you are watching Star Wars for the 100th time?
Clerk's was one of the worst acted films I have ever seen, but it still kicked ass, the filming wasn't that great either. But there was content that still had strong appeal. How perfect does a film have to be to gain your approval?
I know these are just your opinions, but to walk out of a film is a strong statement. Except for Ghost Dad, that just sounds bad!
Please give me 5 examples of good movies. Prove that your not just film snobs. Or maybe this is what you want people to believe?
Teach me something new.
