Not having much experience of it I imagine you underestimate the amount of time the fully-follicled spend addressing their tresses.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I'm not a fan of Antonioni. If it wasn't for Monica Vitti I wouldn't bother

Stuff I love:
1. A Night At The Opera - Brilliant. 5 stars.
2. Naked - Definitely one of my favorites. 5 stars and one of Mike Leigh's best.
3. Psycho - A classic of course. 5 stars.
4. The Man Who Fell To Earth - I love it. But I love ANYTHING with Bowie.
5. Brief Encounter - It's a fine film, great even, but I have no compelling desire to watch it again.
6. Repo Man - Great flick. An acquired taste to be sure but the life of a repo man is always intense.
7. Serpico - I really like it. I find Pacino annoying in almost everything after Dog Day Afternoon, but he's great in this.

Stuff I rate and like:
8. Night of the Living Dead - Romero's best work and a classic.
9. Eraserhead - Yeah, Lynch is nuts. I've seen it four times which really is twice more than I needed cult classic or no. But I like it anyway.
10. Sexy Beast - I enjoyed it when I saw it, bought the DVD, and never watched it again. It was fine though.
11. Clerks - I rewatched this recently and I still enjoy it but it is definitely dated.
12. The Long Good Friday - Pretty good actually. Haskins is great in it.

Stuff I'm indifferent to:
13. Zabriskie Point - Not my favorite Antonioni to be sure...but totally watchable.
14. Gone With The Wind - Watching it once was fine for me.
15. Hellzapoppin' - Never seen it.
16. Drive - Haven't seen it. Not because I'm avoiding it, I just haven't encountered it on streaming and when it came out we were watching things like Harry Potter, Hugo and The Adventures of Tintin with a 7 year old instead.
17. Napoleon Dynamite - Meh. I liked it when I saw it I think -- I must have as I bought the DVD but I have zero interest in rewatching it.
18. Four Weddings and a Funeral - Drek.
19. Radio Days - It was okay.
20. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Thanks to my class with Carol Clover at Berkeley I don't HATE this but I'm not going to watch it again by choice.

Stuff I don't rate:
21. Carry On Camping - Never seen it.
22. Forrest Gump - No. Just no. Bluergh.
23. Dazed and Confused - I have successfully managed to avoid this for decades, I see no reason to stop now.
