Napoleon Dynamite. Not sure if it counts, but it's a movie with a big cult following. I've tried to watch it but can't finish it. Terrible movie.

It's akin to Oh Brother Where Art Thou, in that there's not many viewers between love and hate. I watch them both every couple years, but I am of the mind that I'm fine with the movies and music I enjoy for the remainder of my time here.

Anything with Will Ferrell besides Elf
I did think Step Brothers was hilarious. A lot of his movies didn’t age well because people realized he was the same character in every one of them. Weren’t necessarily terrible when released early on…but agree. I have a hard time with any of them not besides Elf & Step Brothers.

I could relate to the sleepwalking scene.

He was a moody grump when not performing, though. Depressive, I think.
He was one of the most brilliant people to ever work in the entertainment industry, a true genius and innovator. And lots of times, those types of people have trouble being normal, especially around normal people. I think he had a particularly hard time "suffering fools", answering mundane questions, dealing with press, etc. He was obsessed with the art. I would guess he "had a touch of the 'tism", in the parlance of our times (Big Lebowski reference for the dullards who think that masterpiece is overrated).

I've been peaking at the Indiana Jones movies on AMC that I once saw at the theater. Boy, was I easily impressed back then. What was once entertaining, upon further review, was nothing but a banal brand of sensory overload.

At least I have the excuse of saying that when I first saw and loved the Indiana Jones movies, I was in grade school.

Citizen Kane. I don't give a damn about cinematic aspects, camera angles, use of shadows, film-making stuff.
