I don't get what you are talking about if I'm being honest.... Who has told you that there is only one right opinion? I feel like you are trying to rebel against an authority that doesn't exist.

Some of the comments that have been made by people in this thread go beyond simply watching a movie and forming an opinion that stops at 'good or bad'. Context is important and it is something you cant define by simply watching a movie. We are lucky at HDC to have members with a little more in depth knowledge on the genre or perhaps some of our older members who are able to put movies into a historical context. Do you really think you can get a feel for the importance of a movie simply by watching it? If I can talk to a guy who made the movie or maybe went and watched it at its first showing on release, then I am going to take that into consideration. If someone can present an argument and explain to me why a specific movie is a landmark in the genre and its something I hadn't previously considered, then its something I want to take into consideration when making my decisions.
