Challenge: List the Top 5 Movies that EVERYONE Loved...Except YOU! [View all]

Cross-posted from the Lounge. Now, I want the hard-core view.

I've got my list ready to go. (Hell, I had to leave a couple off.)

5: A Christmas Story. Never saw it in the theater, but an ex of mine insisted that we rent and watch it. I left the room after about 50 minutes. BORING!

4: The Blair Witch Project. There is NOTHING scary in this movie! Nothing!

3: Paranormal Activity. Okay, the final 46 seconds were scary. That is, if you somehow managed to stay awake that long!

2. When Harry Met Sally. (Also my #1 Overrated Movie of All Time.) The gal I was dating at the time (not the ex mentioned above) and I both agreed that it was a routine, formulaic Boy Meets Girl Falls In Love With Girl Loses Girl But Gets Girl Back At The End snoozefest.

Warning: Allcaps Ahead:

1. The Usual Suspects. (Also my #2 Most Overrated Movie of All Time.) WHAT. THE FUCK?!? WE WERE TOLD IN THE TRALIER THAT KEYSER SOZE IS ONE OF THE GUYS AT THE HEIST. AND KEVIN SPACEY'S CHARACTER WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THEM WHO SURVIVED SAID HEIST!!! IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WAS THE REAL VILLAIN OF THE PIECE ALMOST FROM THE GET-GO! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
