Yeah, lots of movies are bad.  He means movies that are undeservedly acclaimed.  Critical or commercial successes that didn't deserve.

Citizen Kane - Cures insomnia.
Easy Rider - 2 self-satisfied guys go around affirming their views and a 3rd guy helps.
Mad Max 1 - When nothing happens it's not always 'suspense.'  Sometime it's just 'boring.'
Footloose - The preacher was absolutely right.  Dancing leads to sex.  Cringeworthy.
Dirty Dancing - As above, but starring Patrick Sleazy as the middle aged lothario.
Leon - It's not about a hit man.  This is a film about pedophilia being ok.  This film is not ok.
Iron Men - RDJ?  I'm not saying it didn't work.  I'm saying that Iron Man is possibly bisexual.  Certainly campy.

Honorable Mention: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.  Yeah, he's a legend.  He did some slow moving shit tho.

haha, this sounds far from straight

my vote: apocalypse now

Generation Iron.
The critics raved for months about this remake of "Pumping Iron".  The premiere drew thousands by the red carpet when Heath strolled down it.  It was all over the news.  People I didn't even know were coming up to me asking me "do you lift?  And who is dis GRANDMA?".
Life had changed for a few months.
I just didn't get what the hype was about, despite it winning numerous prestigious awards.

I liked fear and loathing, but maybe because I took acid the first time I saw it. I did read the book though, and it's pretty cool how even though it says the same exact thing the book says, what you're visualizing while reading the book is not what is in the movie i.e. the guy getting run over by a stingray.
