Some examples. I heard that Dark Night was a good seller, but I barely made it through my Netflix rental copy. While I thought the picture quality and sound were superb, as a movie I found it highly forgettable, even stupid allowing for all suspension of disbelief, and certainly not one I would care to watch again. And this was supposed to be a big seller. I barely made it through the dreadful latest Indiana Jones movie, though I liked the earlier ones and even own two of them. It would be torture to have to watch it again. I found Vicky Christina Barcelona somewhat entertaining, but would never buy it. No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood are two movies I think I might want to see again some day- there were depths to those movies I don't think I fully appreciated on my first viewing- but not enough to own. As I said in my original post, I'm probably far too critical and not typical of the average movie goer. Maybe I've gotten more that way as I've aged, but my impression is that the number of new movies that I really like introduced each year has steadily gone down. It's probably me.
