Baumer's/Tele's/Chas' 25 films that have brainwashed people into mindless adulation (Tele pg 26)

12. All Disney animated movies

 

(insert many, many posters here)

 

Yes, a few of them are very well made. But on the whole (and even the good ones), they're over-rated. They tend to follow extremely limited storylines (reduced, even, from the original myths some of them are adapted from) and they tend to serve two masters: lots of noise and flash to keep the kiddies' attention, and mildly risque humor and/or topical pop-culture references to stop the parents from shooting themselves.

[Dementeleus]

I kind of agree. Which ones don't you like in particular?

 

Most of it isn't active hatred, I just don't find them particularly interesting. Especially recently, they seem very corporate to me. The real nadir (and actually I'm pretty sure most would agree) is the 25-year-or-so period from the 60s to late 80s. I initially thought about putting FROZEN here, but then I realized it really applies to most of them. And -- for the most part -- I'm not really a fan of what Disney did to the original stories.

 

edit: this is aimed at actual Disney productions, not necessarily stuff they produced in partnership (early Pixar, NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, etc).

Beauty and the Beast better not be in that bunch.

Good, I remember you were pretty vocal about it.

Amazing song by the way.

I expect nothing less from Tele.

Ok so I guess Marvel or superhero movies as a whole are next.

[Empire]

Mr. Potter is a good representation for Tele after reading this list.

11. The first two "Man with No Name" movies

 

 

Hear me out. These are fun, cool movies. But in no shape or form are they some of the "greatest ever". THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY is an all-timer, but these first two ride its coattails to all the acclaim. The acting is bad, the dubbing poor, and the pacing isn't fantastic. They're basically warm-ups for one of Leone's masterpieces. Good, not great.

Whoa.

 

Although from what I remember, Fistful did pale pretty significantly compared to Yojimbo.

Tele's just jealous that he wasn't raised on our awesome movies. Cave paintings bored him as a kid.

I was just thinking no one had mentioned Frozen on one of these lists yet...
