I’m asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5±5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don’t regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of…bad movies.

    I unironically love Rubber. Not a single person I’ve shown has shared that sentiment haha

    It’s about a tire that blows things up with It’s mind

    Edit: doesn’t anyone know how to make spoilers hidden? I wanna type something but dont want to just put it out there

      I think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more

        I’ll check it out!

        But imma just go and say the spoilers cause I want to talk about it

        ::: spoiler The reason Rubber continues for so long is because you are the old man who refuses to die. The movie was supposed to end when they all ate the poison, but continues because the old man was stubborn. The movie literally asked you to turn it off, but youre just as stubborn so it has to continue. It begs you to stop, but you have to see what happens so the show must go on. :::

        I love it

      I hated the movie at first but it grew on me by the end of it. It might be pointless and wacky but it’s well done for what it is.
