Movies you didn't "get."

He idolized Mariah Carey. It was cute. We were the odd couple. I wore darker colors that were mostly t-shirts and jeans and he dressed preppy, occasionally did drag, and was quite fem. And we argued over our quasi-punk/goth/whatever vs preppy-queer-boi styles often. He was adorable. But obviously misguided.

And I'll agree with you in the case of anime, though most of that falls into the "doesn't appeal". Serial Experiments Lain though....tried to watch a couple episodes of that once...went over my head like a satellite.

OMG Napoleon Dynamite! Ive spent days trying to think of a movie that i didnt get but that my close friends did and this is one of them. I dont think i laughed once during that entire movie. I felt like a noob because all my friends were dying of laughter and i wasnt xD. Ya that movie was totally lost on me.

Another thing that i dont get, which is not really a movie but rather, an actor is Will Farrel. That guy is not fucking funny to me! In fact, i think he is the most unfunny comedian ever. Somehow people love this guy, but ive never found him at all amusing. /shrug

I totally agree.

There are a lot of people who read USA Today though.

Thank you, that cracked me up!

Just to clarify, i understood the plot of napoleon dynamite. I just didnt find it funny in the least.

I watched The Holy Mountain several years ago and still have no idea what the fuck was going on. I'm convinced it's not supposed to make any sense.

I know the feeling. Everyone was talking about that movie like it was the greatest comedy ever, and I think I laughed twice during the entire thing. Not to say it was a bad movie, or even unfunny, just that it didn't tickle my funnybone in the least.
Of course, my sense of humor largely swings towards the 'goofy' and 'over the top' side of the spectrum (although I do enjoy my dry intellectual humor as well). Kung-Pow will still reduce me to fits of laughter-induced hysteria every time

For more serious movies:

... (and this is totaly embarrassing)

I didn't 'get' "Easy Rider" at all! Call me names if you'd like, but the movie just did nothing for me. I just didn't connect with the story at all. It could just be that I need to see it once or twice more to grasp it, but it left me cold the only time I've ever viewed it.
