When someone really likes a film and mentions it over and over, it's understandable since it was obviously very impressive or important to him or her.

When someone really dislikes a film and mentions it over and over it seems pointless, especially to people who already appreciate the film and will never change their minds.

I can think of many films I didn't like initially, but later appreciated after another viewing or input from someone who liked it. I can't think of a single film I really liked, then later found I disliked because of another viewing or being "enlightened" by someone.

...but we've really tried with Solaris and while some may appreciate it's underlying subtleties it's a non-starter in our home. Certainly subjective opinions will differ, but as I pointed out earlier, we do agree with wazoo's wife and that's why I posted. She isn't alone in her opinion; both my wife and I share her frustration with this film.

True enough, but sharing a profound dislike of Solaris that concurs with wazoo's wife's assessment isn't pointless IMO, it just confirms another informed opinion and there's nothing wrong with a mixture of differing views.

I really can't imagine changing anyone's mind here, but occasionally I like to lament the hours of my life that I lost trying to sit through that coma inducing flick. ;0)

Cheers,
