This is how I felt about Parasite, tbh

Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.

I mostly don't like popular movies and it has never and probably will never strike me as my fault.

This is me with literally any movie that tries to get me to feel things. I'm pretty sure I have alexithymia.

Though sometimes I find myself thinking about a film weeks after I watched it, and I then it's like "I guess maybe I did like the film".

The leftovers did that to me.

Anything Luc Besson. The scenarios are at most generic stereotypes with empty characters, with the usual ultra cringe sexy girl-child. People love his 5th Element, which is at best a generic action-scifi B movie, with no inspiration except purely stealing from Moebius. He doesn't know how to hold a camera, and he's even worse when it comes to editing. As a French, I'm surrounded by people who grew up with his movies and are very emotional about it so I can't say it too loud but... I hate it soooo much. (and yeah, he's a sex offender... who could have guessed?)

I haven't seen it since we watched it in a high school class, but I remember the movie Elf being irritating and cringey. Apparently a lot of people adore that movie, but I just don't get it.

Ditto with pretty much everything I've ever seen by Adam Sandler. Though, at least I've heard people dislike Sandler's work before. I've never heard anyone say they don't like Elf.

The Godfather. Despite several attempts I've never made it through, it just can't hold my attention.
