Same. I've tried a couple times and just can't. Kubrick and Robert Altman fall into the same category for me. One film, I'm all  and then I see the next one and it's  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Some of Altman's stuff bores me to tears. Have you ever tried to sit through Dr. T and the Women? Lord have mercy. And I could never finish Shortcuts either. | |

But I went to Pret a Porter on New Year's Eve one year - after a bottle of wine. I love anything fashion related, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of that picture. 
Some years later, I watched it again on video - and realized there was nothing to "get." It was just a bad film.
Gosford Park, on the other hand...  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Gosford Park, on the other hand... Yeah, Gosford Park is good. And everyone always mentions M*A*S*H (which I have to admit I've never seen). But that's about it. I totally forgot about Pret a Porter. That's one of the worst films of all time! | |

The end of Shortcuts... the earthquake and what happens with Chris Penn... is disturbing. And it has the odd shot of Huey Lewis (full frontal) peeing in a lake.

One film, I'm all and then I see the next one and it's Yeah, that is kind of true. I watched Barry Lyndon recently, and it didn't suck exactly, but I was just thinking "why am I watching this? who fucking cares?" My Legacy

The end is so not worth suffering through that movie for. (I'm just guessing, because I didn't actually make it to the end.) 
As a fan of full-frontal male nudity, I have to say no way does the Huey Lewis shot qualify. It's way distant and it's a prosthetic. Even more reasons to hate that movie! | |

Has anyone mentioned The Player though? That's a good one. My Legacy
