I wasn't that crazy about Fahrenheit 451.
Also, I nearly fell asleep watching the original King Kong, the production of the film itself was more interesting.

Anything outside of Abbey Road and The White Album by the Beatles. (an half the White Album, at that, although, I'm willing to throw Hey Jude and Revolution in with the list of good Beatles stuff)
If you're going to make a big, contentious statement like that, at least provide examples of these superior bands, and explain why they're better.Arsen said:
Otherwise, you come across as being strongly-opinionated and reasonably intelligent (Typical of someone who criticizes Radiohead without resorting to ALLCAPS), but vague and sweeping in your approach to criticism (Typical of most internet debaters, as we don't seem to encourage backing one's facts up). Which is a pity, because you have a point.
Go on, give us a quick list. Maybe I'll discover a good new band. That's my stake in this matter.
Had to read Anne of Green Gables in sixth grade. I'm an avid reader, always have been, and that, that....for lack of a better word BOOK almost put me off reading forever.
Hate the Grateful Dead.
I hate fanboys of Halo and Final Fantasy. Not the games, just the fanboys. Does that count?

The Watchmen - This book annoys me and I am sick of hearing about it. It's not that it's horrible, but it's basically the most pretentious thing I've ever encountered. Why is it that whenever someone makes an alternate history people will stare in awe and hail it as unbelievably creative?
Blade Runner - It didn't "suck" but it's way overrated. It just failed to draw me in.

Well since The Social Network is being hailed as the new Citizen Kane of our Generation.
I like to add this movie onto the list just in spite.
lol
Truth me told, the movie just didn't have the pace and material to keep me interested. There wasn't a likable character in site to ground the movie, and someone needs to put an end to all the Facebook praising since I'm pretty sure two years from now another social networking site will come out do to it what FB did to Myspace.
Hmmm.
Probably then we can have another CITIZEN KANE OF OUR GENERATION.

Gah, I'll never understand the hate for Of Mice and Men. It has a message relevant in any time period, solid characterization, and best of all it's short enough to say what it wants to in an effective manner while not dragging on forever.
Judging by your avatar I'm surprised you didn't say Pokémon.Ih8pkmn said:
I fucking love Pokémon btw.
And on the subject of Avatar, if you hadn't seen Dances With Wolves and/or Pocahontas would you still hold the same opinion? This is assuming you have seen them as they are both very popular. If you haven't seen Dances With Wolves go and see it now, there is no time to lose.
I'm surprised by how many people let a thread called "Great masterpieces that suck?" bruise their ego's so badly. Someone didn't like a thing you love? In a thread about pissing on things most people like? Oh the humanity! 
OP: I saw Blade Runner once on DVD and I was honestly just bored by it, be willing to watch it again but I seriously considered not finishing it.

I just hate Steinbeck's style, lulls me to sleep. And don't get me started on the The Pearl...Echer123 said:
Suspiria- I had heard nothing but praise for the movie, and that every horror fan should see it. I wasn't impressed. It was shot well and the sets were just beautiful, but the characterization and plot were non-existant.
Yeah, but anybody can make a movie like that. All you need is some random footage and music. My point is that Kubrick made no effort to actually write his film, he made a film that the people who watch it write it for him, and that's about as much as you need to make "one of the most thought provoking films of all time".Rockchimp69 said:
I remember having to read The Canterburry Tales in high school. I hated it...I don't remember why I hated it then, but I imagine I would hate it upon rereading because of the lack of engaging detail.
Romeo and Juliet... don't care if I spelled that wrong.
It's just the whole concept of falling in love at first site, it's bullshit, and I find it really offensive.
It's just incredibly shallow and one-dimensional for such a well loved play, mabye when it was written it held some originality and value, but now, it just sucks.
I don't like "let the right one in" Ethier, and I've seen so many lists that put it on their top ten of the decade, I just don't understand why, it's... theres just so many things wrong with the movie.
