Not very controversial, I guess....but The Warriors. It's a cult classic. The premise and whole nostalgia around it is great. I think of The Warriors and think 'man, all the costumes are great. the baseball furies? awesome.' The idea of a group needing to get from A to B has a whole Judgement Night vibe...it could be this crazy good thriller.
The movie sucks so incredibly hard.
I saw Happytime Murders last week and absolutely loved it!!!! Now this shouldn't be a controversial opinion, but for some reason critics and audiences both hated it
I thought it was a really good spoof of the 80's "private eye in L.A." noir movies, and the puppet world is very well thought out and funny! Also, it has the best on-screen sex shop ever!
some movies are better seeing later streamed than first run in the theater. I found alien the covent was better after seeing reviews and expositions i guess let other people do the heavy lifting.

I started to watch La La Land a while back and was so irritated by the opening musical performance I switched it off after 5 minutes
Seems pretty controversial to a lot of people that i never cared to watch The big Lebowsky ,i saw the trailer and it just didnt seem that great so i never watched it
i had never seen it until a couple years ago when my wife showed it to me. it's her sister's favorite movie (which is unendingly hilarious to me) and it's a lot of wacky fun. the coen brothers always make films that are well done, it just comes down to a matter of taste whether or not you like it.
I was bored to fuck by Boogie Nights, it just seemed to go on and on and on. I don’t even remember the plot at all except it was something to do with porn and they got mixed up in something else. I checked the running time and it was 2hrs 36 ? Why??? I’m sure a lot of the rave reviews were to do with Heather Graham’s minge.
going back to La La Land, Damian Chazelle should consider himself fucking lucky his love letter to Hollywood didn’t come out a year later

Cal was really the good guy in Titanic. He offered Rose financial stability and put up with her brattiness. He did yell at her and flipped the table, ordered her food without asking and was possessive. But this movie is set in 1912 and he was a man of his time. Jack was just a bum and Rose was a dumb 17 year old who fell for "the bad boy." Rose winds up having a happy life and Cal shoots himself after losing his fortune, but only because the script has to make it turn out like that, given we are supposed to believe that Jack is the hero and Cal the villain.
Some good points.

Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece.
Channing Tatum is the Emilio Estevez of this generation.
Whether this is positive or negative is up to you.
Dazed and Confused and especially Can't Hardly Wait weren't that good.
SPECTRE was awesome, as good as Casino Royale and Skyfall.
Things wrong with that scene:
1. They don't look like high school kids.
2. People wouldn't be crowded around the two people, hanging on every word like that.
3. High School parties like this only exist in the movies.
4. Not funny, not even a little bit.
5. So she finds the letter and suddenly they have a budding romance, even though they hardly know each other and are going off to different school where they will meet other people.
6. A letter? A letter makes her fall for him?
7. The police would have been called 30 minutes into this high school party.
i hear you but who cares! its a dumb movie. Youre not wrong , but dont let CHW get u so tight, its not worth it!
Whilst this might not sound controversial to some, Animated films (Drawing, CG and Stop motion) are LEGITIMATE ART FORMS AND LEGITIMATE FILMS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT! Just because most are aimed at children (with varying degrees of quantity) doesn't mean they should all be ignored for simply being animated.
The amount of people in my life who have shot down animated films to me is staggering, and one of them was my fucking art teacher!
i have never seen a gaspar noe film, and i will never see one. i have read the synopses of all of them, i've read articles and reviews about them, and for the life of me, i cannot understand why anyone would subject themselves to such horrific films. i feel like there's nothing redeeming in them. no likable characters, no good stories, no true message of any kind. i know that the visuals in his newer films are supposed to be stunning, but aside from that, i can't think of a good reason to watch his work.
Stories aren't always about likable characters and redemption and "the message" though. If that's all you're interested in, cool, but that's only a portion of the stories that can be told. I haven't liked every film Noe has done, but I respect that he's not interested in black and white, good guys and bad guys storytelling. I'm not opposed to that kind of storytelling, but it's not something I can solely subsist on. After a while, that sort of thing starts to feel fake. As wild as his films can be, they're incredibly grounded in human behavior and the choices/mistakes people make.
And reality is way more horrific than anything in his films.
Oh man. I feel like he's made some good movies mixed in with the shit stuff you're probably thinking of. Not always easy watches of course, but Dancer in the Dark & Melancholia (part. the latter) are def. worth watching. I thought Melancholia was really well done. Even Nymphomaniac is a decent movie but with flaws. Not a good person irl or on set, but has made some good movies.
Only Noe film I've seen was Irreversible. It was very hard to watch, multiple people left the theater, etc. But I've never seen anything like that movie. It has stuck with me ever since. Worth seeing for sure b/c its a uniquely horrifying movie, and the visuals are stunning as said.
