No, I'm fully aware of that. If a lot of people did agree with me on these movies then I wouldn't feel awkward about my opinions. And I, as much as anyone, understand being annoyed when people say that a movie I love isn't as good as I think it is. Recently I've just come to understand the debate over Alien and Aliens, which I both just recently viewed. I think Alien is amazing, a seminal work under any context, whereas I find after viewing Aliens that I don't find it on the same level of Alien and think that its acclaim is a bit exaggerated. I liked it, but I'm miffed that people make it out as better than Alien.
I guess my views on these classics makes me stand out, which is better than blending in. Unfortunately since they don't fit in with the general consensus, I worry that no one can take anything I have to say seriously even when I'm spot on with something.
