I will give you an example.... My friend LOVES the movie Magnolia.... and tells me that its one of the best movies ever.... I do not agree with him because the movie makes no sence to me (nor to anyone else i ever talked to about it).... He told me that the writer of the movie refuses to say what the meaning of the movie is untill he dies.... SO my friend dosent even know what its about... but it is "atristic" and "original" so he thinks its amazing.... This friend went to film school, and now produces movies.... am i missing something here then?

 

If you think Magnolia is an obscure movie, then you REALLY need to reevaluate what you consider is obscure.

Domestic Total Gross: $22,455,976

Any movie that makes over $10 million at the box office (in the U.S. alone) I would not at all consider an obscure movie.

Not to mention that movie IS a Hollywood movie.  It was made by New Line Cinema which is owned by Warner Bros.  Warner Bros. is one of the Big 6 Hollywood movie studios.

 

I was talking about as an example lol, i dint say it was obsure :P

As far as liking all movies... yes i do... and i do think that there are a lot of obsure movies that are really very good as a matter o fact i think that the only good horror movies left now a days are independent films (eccept for mirrors that was pretty good). there are also a lot of great dramas..

But looking into action movies or comedies... i just cant get into them as much as hollywood ones...
