The Virgin Spring (1960)
Pretty much the same way I feel about Winter Light. Like that film, it has great photography, but ultimately unconvincing in its execution. Max von Sydow is terrific here though, like in nearly everything I've seen with him. I don't care much for actors but I'm really starting to like this dude.

Harold and Maude (1971)
Didn't even like the premise of this to begin with, and I gave it a try only because it made the 70s list. I don't like being so harsh against particular films, but when you feel as though you've literally wasted nearly two hours that could have been spent on a truly great film, you just cannot help but let it all out. This is easily the worst film I've seen all year. I would rather drown in a pit of boiling hot oil than watch this again.
