I think more of the great films of our time should be converted into 3D and released in cinemas starting with the LOTR trilogy, followed by the original Star Wars trilogy and jaws.
What's your unpopular movie opinion?
I'm still waiting for them to release The Remains of the Day in 3d. Couldn't afford the glasses back when it was crushing at the box office.

Balls of Fury is wonderful.
I have other examples my awful sense of humor...
Edit:
On Baby Driver, I think it’s intentionally vapid. I’m pretty certain it’s Edgar Wright trying to break into the mainstream.

Remember - these are all unpopular opinions.

I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, but the same could be said about being an anime fan.
1 - It's about highschool.
2 - It's porn.
3 - It's for children.
4 - It has tentacles.
Although I haven't heard a bad impression about being a fan of animation in itself. Although these people are old (30s and over) so they are a bit outside of the cultural environment where "weeabos" exist.
Anyway I think that now I fully understand the cultural roots of the West's rejection of Japanese visual culture: the aesthetics of manga most of the time go directly against the basic principles of western aesthetics.

While I enjoyed them (mostly) in the theaters, the whole Nolan Batman trilogy gets more ridiculous the more I watch it.

Like what? Well, talking to some of my colleagues at work about manga/anime their superficial impressions are:
1 - It's about highschool.
2 - It's porn.
3 - It's for children.
4 - It has tentacles.

You are vile.
If you are in internet circles, Twitter in special, you may notice how many people associate anime fans with alt-right or nazi ideologies, due to the amount of people with "anime avatars" indulging in these behaviours online. It is kind of a meme at this point, and it is true that the community embraces a lot of these individuals for some reason. The "Nazi edit" issue from MAL or just the mess that is its Current Events subforum are good samples of this.
I haven't read Mal in about 3 years or so. In the manga/anime forums I participate notice that people tend to be mostly liberal/libertarian or left-wing.
Edit: I did some research right now, very interesting I never noticed it before.
Apparently the overlap is demographic: young white men who spend a lot of time on the internet tend to be drawn into Japanese visual culture these same young white men tend to be drawn into white identity politics, as young white men who spend a lot of time in the internet usually are angry and without a girlfriend and so they tend to be closer to the alt-right if they are stupid enough.
In Japan there are also some nationalistic people in the internet who made a manga in 2005 about hating Koreans when Korean culture started to become popular in Japan. But it's understandable that Japanese nationalists would be fans of Japanese visual culture.
Like this:

That it translated into American white supremacists being fans of non-white visual culture is pretty much mainly due to how dumb many 4chan people are since they are unable to perceive their own contradictory behavior.
Also, while reading those blogs I noticed that some people wrote stuff like this:

Essentially, Japanese visual culture dignifies the unrealistic and Western art is based on dignified realism or undignified unrealism.

Think i have more than one unpopular opinion.
1 - First of all, i never liked Titanic with Leonardo di caprio and Kate Winslet. Watched once at the theater and that's it, never got to rewatch it again. I didn't see nothing special about it, and really don't like it.
2 - Though mr Ridley Scott has done much better things in the past, I liked Alien - Covenant (which my friends generally didn't like or got interest into). And after i watched that, i started to like Prometheus as well, a movie that i didn't like at all the first time i saw.
More to come...

Oooo Oooo!
I never liked Cape Fear. I watch it every few years to test myself, but no. It's a very silly movie to me.
