1. Blair Witch Project
2. Funny People
3. The Reader
4. Watchmen
5. Martyrs

I could really only think of recent stuff off the top of my head for some reason, and Blair Witch project because of the countless arguments I've had over the years about that one.

Aren't most great movies, by their very nature, divisive to a degree?
Not Casablanca, The Godfather or anything by Pixar

"Most" being the operative word.

No.

If you look at some of the best directors of all time, most of them had their detractors. I'm at the point where I get weary when a film gets great reviews across the board. I generally find films that get a stong varied reaction more interesting these days.

The Reader is a good pick. A movie I loved, but I know many others that did not.

4. Donnie Darko



I hate that movie.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.
