12. Apocalypse Now
Another film that seems to be an unbelievable oversight- how could anyone miss the genius of Francis Ford Coppola’s soaringly brilliant war movie with a sensational turn from a Young Larry Fishburne? This critic, Richard T Jameson, certainly did: “Apocalypse Now is a dumb movie that could have been made only by an intelligent and talented man. It pushes its egregiousness with such conviction and technical sophistication that, upon first viewing, I immediately resolved to withhold firm judgment until I’d seen the film again: perhaps I’d missed some crucial irony, some ingenious framework that, properly understood, would convert apparent asininity to audacity. I didn’t find it. It isn’t there.”
So that’s our list of movies the critics got horribly wrong. What are your thoughts? Are there any movies out there that you thought got unfairly panned-or any that you thought got unfairly praised? Let us known in the comments.
