Critics be damned, there are some “classics” that I cannot stand. I not only dislike them; I think they are legitimately bad films. This is on my mind this week as I’ve just watched The Exorcist for the first time and thought it was a steaming pile of boring. But is it top 5? Nope. Here, I present to you, my top 5 critically-acclaimed duds.
1. Apocalypse Now (1979)
2. Titanic (1997)
3. Goodfellas (1990)
4. The Departed (2006)
5. Blade Runner (1982)
Those are just the top 5, but you want more? Raging Bull, Titanic, The French Connection, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, Spirited Away, Resevoir Dogs, The Graduate, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, A Streetcar Named Desire, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and The Exorcist as of today. All of these films are in the top 250 all-time on the International Movie Database‘s rating system and I hate ’em all. Lemme have it (don’t really, it’s actually been quite a long week so I don’t know why I’m dropping this bomb).
