No Country For Old Men left me scratching my head, wondering why it just kind of ended, without really having an ending. It just stopped and rolled credits.

I also didnt see the point at all in There Will Be Blood.
How can anyone not see the point of this movie? It's about GREED! It's so blatant! It's one of the most poetic movies I have ever seen and Daniel Day Lewis is nothing short of AMAZING! The character build up in that movie left me speechless at the end because his greed left him a rotton lonely rich old man.

Oh yes...I got that movie. I have it on DVD.

I can agree with this. I HATED THIS MOVIE! I will not only get my two hours back but I used free movie tickets to see it. What a waste. I can't believe this got best picture. For what?


Now the movies I really don't get or understand would be "Eraserhead". That was weird or "Three Women". While I didn't get them I was still entertained by them.

Memento really confused me. I saw Vantage Point last weekend and the way it keeps going backwards really got confusing.

oh my gosh! Children of Men was a fantastic movie! although very disturbing


I apparently don't see a lot of movies, cause most of the ones you folks are listing I have not seen
The only one that I can think of is The Village, that movie was totally pointless

SERIOUSLY... I want that 90 mins of my life back and I want to apologize to those braincells that I tried to wrap around that movie that makes absolutely no sence and has gives you no sence of going ANYWHERE
... really if you have not seen it... Dont.

Go watch Cookies Bake in the Oven... It would be more rewarding.


& I agree... 12 Monkeys... certianly drugs were used while writing that script... what on earth WAS that movie about...

I was thinking that too.... not that I didn't get it but it was just plain stupid - it's why I'm hesitant to see The Happening, I'm thinking the same thing will happen - it looks really creepy/interesting yet it probably has a really stupid outcome...

DON'T watch The Happening. My Mom saw it and said it was the dumbest movie.

Thank you for the Heads Up on that one... you saved me a wasted Baby Sitter night out with the Husband on that one. We can choose more wisely

To the poster who said "Eyes Wide Shut" I could not agree more! WTH was that about? Egads it was bad and made no sense at all. Supposed to be a study of infedility, missed that mark completly and the horrible plinky plunky piano music score (if you can call it that) was like Chinese water torture after a while.

I also loved Pulp Fiction, though I admit I did have to watch it a second time to get over the "Now what did I just watch?" factor

Thanks for the heads up... I kinda figured that was the case... I'll wait til it shows up free on demand in like 2 years haha (and even at that it will have to be a really bad day for tv)

Add me to the list of people who didn't understand Vanilla Sky. That made NO sense.

Another one that really got me was K Pax. I can't think of the name of the actor, but he said he was an alien or something, and then they thought he was a person who's family had died, but then he disappeared from his jail cell? That one totally lost me.

LOL I can't believe nobody has said "The Matrix" yet. That one totally lost me.

Is Duel that old movie where Dennis Weaver is being stalked by the truck driver?

I love Pulp Fiction too although it was confusing the first couple times I watched it. Tarantino's movies are never chronological and skip around alot. But the dialogue was amazing.
