I feel the same way as ChronoGrl. My boyfriend and his family have poor taste in movies, but when they do see a good film the conversation is horribly lacking. The orignal author of this thread hit it on the head, when he was talking about friends not wanting to see good films. Even if it is an opinion, it would be nice to share with a person or two on that.

Cloverfield was the only film that my friends could talk to me about. I did not particularly like it at all and my friend happened to agree. I just want to find someone that loves horror as much as myself. I am divorcing my husband for many reasons, abuse mostly, but his lack in teh caring about movies in general thing sucked horrible.

I am thankful for my family. For christmas we spent the day opening gifts of horror films and watching them all day. It was a bloody usually Christmas for us. At my boyfriend's family's house we watched Christmas classics all night.

Taste is so different, but at least I got to watch a movie with him.

People have a problem with not reading in between the lines with some movies. I think some of the most genius movies are ones that force the observer to do as much. I obviously consider "Alien" the best Alien movie thus far, and likely forever. But a lot of people I know enjoy Resurrection, which is total shit. There is very little there to redeem that movie. It even adds NOTHING to the story Arc that Alien created way back when. But they like its action, its special effects, its overt gore, and dump on Alien's slow pace and seeming lack of action until the 2nd half of the movie. They are not seeing what makes this film scary, and thats the visuals, and the atmosphere, both of which the film has very large amounts of. Resurrection relies on excessive gore and violence you can see coming from a mile away, which is cheap and lame.

Getting away from horror, you are either a "The Big Lebowski" fan, or you are not. In my eyes, at least, if you can't read between the lines and pay attention to see the humor in this film, you are lame. Stop waiting for the next pratfall or penis joke and realize that comedy can also work by being subtle. This film did bad in American Theatres after its release. I wonder why? A few people I know like this film. The rest don't get why saying "Shomer fucking Shabbis" is so funny.
