    I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.

    I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .

    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.

    I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.

      lmao, I just recently realised I’ve seen that movie so many times and have no idea what it’s about.

    I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.

      I’m Gen-X and showed my Gen Z kids Better off Dead recently. They quite liked it. I think it’s just so goofy anyone could enjoy it. I DON’T think they’d like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - too talky.

        My 13-year-old enjoyed Better Off Dead too. Especially “I want my two dollars!”

    Breakfast club. It doesn’t age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he’s the hero.
