Do any of you hate movies or books that society seems to generally regard as classics? Usually, I agree with the critics when it comes to pointing out the classics (for instance I LOVE The Godfather) and even popular cult classics (The Thing).
But there are just some of these loved movies or books that I just don't like. For instance, I don't like LOTR. Not sure why, I've tried to find something to like, but I just can't. Everyone I know thinks they're teh harpwnage, but I don't.
Also, I can't stand Rocky Horror Picture Show, or any book by Jack Kerouac or Hunter S. Thompson. ARRRG.
Back to my question, what are movies/books that everyone likes except for you?

Final Fantasy 7. The downfall of RPGs.
If you don't know what I mean, then the next time you make an RPG map, put in a female main character and then kill her off with the final boss.
Now your RPG is going to be played forever on B.net. You don't even need a good story!

[center]Agreed.
I HATE most mainstream movies and stuff that's being made. If you want to see a good movie, go to one of those 'art house' places, they've got great films.[/center]

Main stream movies rocks! I'm not sure about everyone else, but I couldn't stand FF9, I mean, main character with tail and classic damsel in distress, not much of a story. Didn't like it. Also, the Incredibles, everyone I know loved that movie.

This brings up an interesting point. There is a difference between "mainstream" and a "classic."
Also there's the question of style and time period and such. You don't have to like Thompson and Kerouac, possibly because you are not a fan of the time period/style it is written in? But you do have to recognize it as a clear example of that style of writing, which is why it is a classic. And I would consider neither mainstream.

Yeah, people falling over the FF7 girl is ANNOYING to no end. Who really cares? IT'S A SPRITE ON YOUR TV SCREEN GET OVER IT!!!!
The things that annoy me that are considered classics:
Musicals, all musicals. (WHY WON'T THE CATS DIE???)
The harry Potter movies sucked.
the movie Signs.
I think the game Halo is sucky compared to rpgs, because as a rule, in my mind, rpgs>any FPS, TPS, or anyother type of shooting game. (TPS is thrid person shooter, FPS is first person shooter.)

The Incredibles, hair metal, and Rap music. South Park is kinda overrated in my book. Anime that is based mostly or entirely on anime stereotypes. The artwork style is nice, yeah, but the stories are usually just crap. I also don't like how everyone thinks all Country music sucks because all they've ever heard is nashville country music. Nashville blows, ya, but Johnny Cash is damn good.

There were some things that seemed to be hated only by me(I know its not true, but I grew up in a small town, so often I was the only one who felt a certain way, or had the guts to admit it). For instance, I used to hate football, heavy metal, the matrix, and some other things, but eventually I grew to appreciate them.
But there are some things I don't think I will ever like. Like rap, or liqour, or Cheech and Chong.

It's not meant to be intelligent, but whatever. I've only heard a few quotes from it, and actually, most people probably just wouldn't find it funny, considering humor, nowadays, is dumbed down to an extreme.
