Top 10 Most Misunderstood Movies.....
Really interesting list. Anyone have any they would add??
Quote:
We?re not talking about abstract, BS French art films or something. We?re talking Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, Scarface. The kind of movies that you assume you understand on a thematic level, but you really don?t. You need someone to clear things up for you: that?s why we?re here.

The Scarface one is dead-on.
I don't know why so many people think it's such a great movie to begin with. It's even more puzzling as to why it's idolized.

[censored] that website.
Thank god there is a site to explain my favorite movies to me.
Any site that has links at the top of the page to "Hot Girls" and Myspace has no business producing a list like this.

The synthesizer music is enough to make me want to barf. Just because of that, the movie is incredibly painful to watch just to hear "Say hello to my lil friend!" |

Someone should add "Thelma and Louise" to the list. People think it's a feminist epic about strong women when it's really about two female losers who make bad choices re: and get abused by men and are so traumatized that they quit on life and kill themselves.
