No political take I have gets people going like my admittedly unusual movie takes. I still haven’t done that Casablanca rewatch to see if my scorching hot “it’s ok I guess” take holds up.
So far the biggest movie I loathed that I think many like has been Amadeus. It seems people generally agreed with me that Chariots of Fire wasn’t great?
BTW I hate when I don’t like a classic movie and people insist it’s an age/context thing. No, if anything I tend to like a lot of movies from long before my time. But I like to assess a movie on it’s own, not because everyone says it’s good.
Some classic films I’ve watched totally live up to the hype - Godfather, Citizen Kane - and a few others, imo, don’t. But get outta here w the “youre too young” take. A movie works or it doesn’t, imo.
