Not so much horror, but I didnt think much of Hitchcock's Vertigo, either. Ok, so it had a couple good twists and a great performance from James Stewart. Too bad that's all it had going for it...

You know, you and I have very similar tastes, but I was always shocked to see you didn't care for these two.
IMO
Vertigo is
perfect. One of my top 5 favorite films of all time. The performances are impeccable, the plot is flawless, the twists are wacky, the pacing is fast and fiery, the score is chilling, the sets are hauntingly fantastic. Again, IMO, this is Hitchcock's finest masterpiece, and an American film I hope my grand kids show their grand kids...
I usually, like Urge and Rod said, tend to agree with most "greats".
A lot of people loved
The Boondock Saints around here (as in where I live). In fact, some have cults around it. I thought the movie was utter trash.
Of course, if they're conisdered "greats", I hated
Saw, and I hated
Hostel even more.
As of now, I can't think of any classics or genre leaders that I really don't like.
