The two most popular movies that leave me cold are The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Grease. I think they have dated badly and what was once considered scandalous is now just grating.

I suppose you could read something into the fact that these are both campy musicals but I love Moulin Rouge and West Side Story for example. I also happen to work in theatre.

Mostly though, I imagine it has to do with all the amateur adaptations and tributes I have had to endure in my career.

Ditto on "TAKEN". Talk about a sluggish treacly disappointment!
