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

JUNO. So overhyped for me. I don't think I would have liked it even without the hype but I was just so underwhelmed.

Whoever said Atonement---did they change it for the movie? The book wasn't a dream and was pretty good I thought (but I read it on vacation, and I have a much higher tolerance then)

Everyone's going to hate me for this, but:
Star Wars
(watched it/them at age 5 was terrified of the Ewoks [I KNOW. I was a fraidy cat kid] and didn't see it again 'til I was in college at which point I knew the whole story and was underwhelmed by the acting/effects)
(I just. don't. get it)
(if my bf and I ever break up, this might be why)

I think the only reason some one would KILL you is for calling "Empire Strikes Back" "Star Wars". That's the most hated of the three original movies, because of those Ewoks, and a Star Wars fanatic will tell you there IS a distinction. I personally loved Empire, but I was 9 when it came out, and I got an audio tape of the movie for Christmas that I listened to all the time. The movies have not aged well, IMHO, and I can't stand the new ones.

Actually Return of the Jedi was the Ewok-fest.

I didn't like Juno either. So pretentious.

Yes, Return of the Jedi. The Empire Strikes Back is deemed the favorite of a lot of Star Wars fans.
