Two movies: the first I "got", i just don't understand why the world fell in love with it. The second, I just didn't "get".
Titanic - The most overated movie of all time. I could say why, but I'd be repeating others in this thread that have already done my work for me. I think Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are both determined to make great movies throughout the rest of their career to cancel out this P.O.S.
Mulholland Drive - This movie is, by far, the most incomprehensible movie I've ever seen. True story: My wife and I walk out of the theatre in silence. We get in the car. She turns to me. I turn to her. At the same time we ask each other "What the fuck was that?!?!" I go home to read a synopsis of the movie on Salon.com. The author of the article claims that he too didn't truly understand it, but the article was designed to take a stab at explaining what he thought it meant. after reading it, I recognize what they were trying to do, but as a relatively intelligent fan of film, something this obtuse should never have been made.
