Movies everyone loved that you... didn't

[TonyDown]

I watched Titanic today for the first time.  It won 11 Oscars.  Yeah, I didn't love it.  

Call Me By Your Name.  Was a smash hit at Sundance.  For an indie film, it made a lot of money. I wanted to love it, but I did not love Call Me By Your Name.

I , too, did not love Titanic. As soon as it hit the iceberg I was, “Oh, for shit’s sake just sink already!” 

CMBYN, however, spoke to the 17 year-old me and the then-50+ year-old me. If you didn’t love it I can respect that.

It was the book CMBYN that I connected with.  I remember being 17, and pining for a new, young, Italian adonis social studies teacher.  I could imagine spending the summer at a villa with him.  🙂

Unlike the book, the movie didn't move me.

Yes. To each his own.
