I think nearly everyone already agrees that Easy Rider is unwatchable nonsense.
Really? I thought it was just me.
Rear Window is wonderful, but to echo my earlier comments about Scorsese, a lot of people could make a wonderful movie starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly.
I'd rather watch a good story with bad acting than the other way around. I greatly enjoyed the first Harry Potter movie, which got me reading the books, but I don't think much of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. He seems to over-act.
I've also heard negative comments about Emma Watson as Hermione; I'm not sure whether this is because the critics have more refined taste in acting than I do, or because they don't know that Hermione is supposed to be an obnoxious know-it-all, especially toward the beginning of the series. I also thought Rupert Grint was fully convincing as Ron caughing up slugs in Chamber of Secrets. Maybe that's just my willingness to suspend disbelief again.
