I think this has to be The Blair Witch Project or maybe even Napoleon Dynamite?

Your thoughts?
 
ND good choice others

human traffic ( looks dated as hell now, but still strikes a chord)

adaptation( pretty pretentious but still love it)

any dogma " the idiots" especially

gummo- dancing to madonna while wearin rollerskates " art" or crap?

any larry clark movie - bully, kids, ken park, the guys a pervert and i dont always feel comfortable watching him film naked kids having sex, but he makes some interesting movies i cant disagree
 
Larry Clark is a pervert, but so is Almodovar in some respects. Kids is good, but both ken park and bully kinda suck. he has another one call teenage caveman yada yada, i havent seen it, but i think it has little kids having sex . . . sicko.
 
Also any Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine . . ., Being John . . .) or Wes Anderson flick (Life Aquatic . . .,Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums).

yeah, but Almodovar at least is interesting with
his nastiness... Bad Education was awesome
 
I can't believe nobody's mentioned 2001: A Space Odyssey yet. I have yet to meet somebody who thinks that movie is "okay" or "all right"; they either think it's a cinematic masterpiece too good for words, or a mind-numbingly boring and pretentious collection of tableaux. I fall in the first camp, but know many more who hate it.

Ditto for Napoleon Dynamite; I think Kevin Smith's movies also appeal to a small, select crowd rather than the masses. I remember that the reaction to Pulp Fiction was rather mixed as well when it came out, due to its novel time organization format, and I still know people who think it's too disjointed. I personally liked the movie, but thought it was much ado about nothing, and hardly a masterpiece (I know 2/3 of BL will hate me forever for writing that).
 
All of paul thomas anderson's works seem to fall into the catagory of "love or hate". Personally, i'd rather recieve an IV drip of atropine than have to witness magnolia again. Ugh.

I've noticed donnie darko also seems to be pretty polarizing among viewers
 
David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE. Some people, like me, think that MULHOLLAND DRIVE is not only Lynch's best film but is one of the best American films of the past 10 years. I see it as an incredible dreamscape that plays like a paranoid symphony & details the tragic downward spiral of a very lonely & fragile woman.

other people saw it as a confusing mess & not as "cool" as BLUE VELVET (speaking of love it or loathe it movies).

Hopefully more than two-thirds.

I'll have to agree with whom ever mentioned P.T. Anderson films, Punch Drunk Love I think is pretty mixed in opinions but I loved it. Also Woody Allen films are a good mention, I tend to enjoy his films though.
 
Moulin rouge (and possibly baz luhrmann's other films)...he's just so quirky and likes to pull from pop culture a lot, but i love how it turns out. I do have a few friends that feel he just screws things up and isn't original while doing it.
 
Gattaca. It isn't very fast paced, but it's an interesting more cerebral little scifi "what if" romp.
