All of the Back to the Future Films leave me a little cold to be honest. The third is easily the worst though.

The Jetsons was ace, however I'm more inclined to think of the future as more in line with Orwell's 1984 or Gilliam's Brazil than The Jetsons sadly.

I remember going to see Back to the Future III at the cinema when I was young and finding it really exciting. (I hadn't seen the first two at the time, so it was a 'one-off' experience.)

Now? Meh.

I've always had trouble with the BTTF3 too, I do love the first 2 though

We all have different tastes but it seems like as soon as a film is mystically granted its 'classic' status, it's not allowed to not like it or not get why it is so popular.

So, time to get it off your chest. Which classic films do you really not like?

I'll start off with the Godfather films. Truly, i find them all painfully boring and have had more fun watching paint dry.

Citizen Kane.

The most boring coma inducing and overrated film of all time. I really can't see how this is considered one the greatest films of all time, as bad as Dracula vs Frankenstein is, I would rather watch that again than this.

Other than 'Blade Runner' of course!

I agree on Tarantino films after Kill bill I just haven't took to anything he made .

I wouldnt say it was dire , more OK (ish) but nowhere as good as the other 2 and bit of a let down .

I tried to watch The Matrix three times after being told it was great but could not get into that and Twelve Monkeys.
