Make your confession to your fellow MoFos

I confess to being middling on Citizen Kane. I don't hate it but didn't feel like it reconfigured my idea of good movies.

I confess to thinking that Orson Welles was overblown. If you ever see him in The Stranger, you will realize that.

I also confess that I like TV cop series, 2 per week, 10 PM slot, as long as they don't have one of those episodes where they dive into a character's personal life and I couldn't care less if the cop goes home to an empty apartment. I just want cops and robbers. Period.

I confess to sorta liking bombastic biblical epics of the sort no longer made, although I don't know if I could spend enough time to watch Ben Hur again.

I confess to liking Noir movies and admit that I think Blade Runner is the best of them.

This one is very bad, my darkest secret.

I confess to reading the whole ‘Wikipedia’ plot section very often before I watch something. Not when it’s something I expect to be great, but mediocre films, sure. And then I have the impudence to judge plot!

I've been posting a combined 20+ years at several movie related forums including RT/GD/OT, Kateland, Corrierino and now here at MovieForums.

I haven't see a single 2021 Oscar nominated movie or performance. I didn't go out of my way to avoid them. It's just that I didn't go out of my way to catch them either.

LOL, had to read the Wiki page for 21 Grams before viewing it yesterday since I knew the movie is non-linear. Made such a difference in my comprehension since I’m not a fan of multiple non-linear plot lines.

You’re a rascal.

Oh and I actually liked Star Trek Into Darkness. And Signs

I was glad to hear it was a joke.. Maybe people will revert to older movies, especially with all the theaters down, which might be another blessing in disguise.

I didn't hate The Happening.

I got only a few minutes into Taxi Driver before stopping it due to the score. I do not expect to ever revisit it.

I've never enjoyed Harvey Keitel in any role I've seen him in.

I dislike (most) westerns and refuse to watch John Wayne just on principle.

Have you at least seen Alfredo Garcia, though? It's a bit of a "deep cut" from him, but I do think it's the best thing I've seen from him, IMO.

Ahhhhh, yes, that's the one I knew I liked, but couldn't recall. I knew there was one that got to me in the way I like movies to get to me.


FTR, it's not that I think he's bad, only that I always feel slightly underwhelmed by a filmmaker who, considering all his monumental character flaws, should be right up my alley.

I am not a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Humphrey Bogart was overrated.

I've never watched Raging Bull, Taxi Driver or any of the Godfather trilogy.

I own Battlefield Earth on DVD.

I'm not really as kinky as I've pretended to be.

I'm much kinkier!!!!

Makes perfect sense to me! I’m not a huge fan either, I did love Memento and seemed fine with the plot from just watching, but things like Predestination and especially Mr Nobody positively call for it.

I haven't seen Star Trek Into Darkness, but I like Signs as well. In my opinion, the backlash over the water reveal is really overblown. While I agree that Shyamalan eventually started making bad movies in his career, my dropoff point in his filmography is a couple films later than it is for most other people.

I hate Star Trek, but until recently, I've never watched an episode.


Not bad.

You lie!

I think I'm extra forgiving when it comes to Shyamalan movies. Haven't seen The Last Airbender but then I never watched the series either. Didn't like After Earth though. And Lady in the Water was next to impossible to like. But everything else was good to passable.

It's never wrong to not hate the best film of any filmmaker. No matter how bad they otherwise are.
