BeAwareWhich cult classic film was a huge disappointment when you finally saw it?
A Clockwork Orange. I read the book first and was excited to see the movie but ultimately I found it really slow and boring. It’s not a great adaptation in my opinion.

Faces of Death (1978)
The first viewing was full of shock value.
After that it was not my cup of tea. Repulsive on many levels.
Now that subject matter is just a normal Tuesday on Reddit.
WatTylerI had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.
I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .
This was mine as well. It’s mildly amusing, but I really don’t get the massive hype on it.
AkasazhThe inglorious bastards. It treats a very serious subject matter with too much quirky humor.
Also the Nazi slaughter group is basically like an Einsatz Gruppe, but for slaughtering German soldiers. Literally locking people in a building (often a church) and then setting it ablaze was a technique used against Jews.
Just reversing the roles doesn’t make it an act that’s worth cheering for, like people did in the cinema when I saw it. I couldn’t detach myself from that, hence why I did personally not enjoy it.
darkl1nkInglorious Bastards ain’t your average war flick or history lesson, it’s Tarantino doing his offbeat thing. The humor’s not mocking the war, but poking at the villains. The Basterds are soldiers, not a hit squad against innocents. The cinema cheers? That’s just folks enjoying seeing the Nazis get some comeuppance. If you didn’t dig it, cool. But remember, Tarantino’s all about pushing buttons and sparking chatter. If it got under your skin, maybe it hit the mark.

Napoleon Dynamite. The main thing I got from the movie was that know I know where a meme comes from.
When this came out I went to the ends of the world to get a copy after missing out on all of the references… And then it was fine. I think it’s kinda funny know but I don’t understand how it blew up the way it did
AcidThe first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there's no resolution it's just a cliffhanger into the next movie.
