Movies that people have recommended as a "must see", and you were like...Seriously?

Atonement made me angry it was so bad. I have a hard and fast rule that The Wizard of Oz gets to have it all be a dream but NOBODY ELSE DOES. If it turns out to all be a dream, I want my money back. The day I saw that I snuck into Sweeney Todd so I could feel better. And I did. I really enjoyed that one!

I also don't get it about Pretty Woman, but when I was a concierge in Chicago I used it as a benchmark for when to suggest Miss Saigon. With as straight a face as I could muster I would ask if they loved Pretty Woman. If they did, then they would love Miss Saigon. If they hated it then I steered them away. And that worked every time. The hooker with a heart of gold story has been done to death and I find it well beyond cheesy.

Not in the Oz books.

As much as there is to love about the The Wizard of Oz, it fundamentally screwed up the story as far as I'm concerned. I hate how it's all a dream -- sort of ruins it for me.

Yeah, I had forgotten that they sort of combined North & South into one character for almost everything after Baum's books. Still doesn't change my opinion on the movie. It's a good thing Zach Braff is adorable, or I would have wasted 2 hours.
