Everyone around me said i should watch Napoleon Dynamite because it was sooooo funny. It was just an autistic kid doing and saying cringey things.
I also hate Donnie darko, Requiem for a dream, 90 % of David Lynch (especially Mulholland drive), citizen Kain, etc. Too many to mention.
I like Napoleon dynamite, but i don't think i'll ever rewatch it. I watched it a couple of times when it came out with friends. And it's almost more the experience than the movie. When i watched it the first time i thought there is some massive plot twist, like some of these people are aliens or something. Then the movie was over, and nothing really happened. I don't think any of us really liked the movie, but then we just randomly quoted some lines and we re watched it, and we just always had a great time.
I saw it in theaters and thought it was pretty goddamned stupid. Then, for various reasons, I ended up watching it multiple times with friends and somehow it just kept getting funnier.
Great movie? I don't think so. But it's definitely something of a cultural touchstone for me.
I waited years before I watched it, long after the hype had died down. I went in with no expectations and I quite enjoyed it.
It's just a day-in-the-life film where nothing really happens and there's no big revelation or pay-off at the end, but the journey had some memorable moments and was fun nonetheless.
