2001 a space Odyssey
I can appreciate it as a piece of art especially considering the time it was made but as a movie I didn't feel too entertained and don't think I will want to watch it again.
The story line didn't blow me away but I was impressed by the visuals. I can imagine back in the day this would of been amazing and unique. I guess I've seen too many space movies to be able to appreciate it properly now.
Im interested to hear why people still love it and why it is considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Is it purely based on the visuals, sound track and what would of at one time been a unique look at technology and space?

Regular cinema experience is garbage.
Film festivals are far better for a good cinematic experience. Usually people are a lot more respectful at these things.
And best are the little cinematheques that show retrospectives of great directors from around the world and throughout film history. Nothing like being able to go see Tarkovsky, Lang, Resnais, etc etc films on the silver screen to this day.

Being the cultural laggard that I am, I finally saw Parasite. I quite liked it, but I also don’t get the fuss. Why people are falling over themselves for it at awards. Why people are flipping out that none of its actors were nominated because of racism.
TBH, I thought the previous year’s Burning was a much better, more enigmatic, and more artistically worthy film out of Korea. But nobody flipped out about it at award ceremonies.

I agree with this. I don't understand the fuss either . Good movie until spoilers ahead
It obviously needed to happen to drive the plot forward . There were other plot contrivences at the end but I remember that one particularly.
In the end good movie but certainly not a masterpiece, for me anyway.
the former maid came to the house to get "her things". Who in their right mind would let her in the house when you have your hole family staying there , especially when you don't have to open the door.

Great point.
As you said, to move the plot forward....
I had the same reaction to the rich family somehow cluelessly turning over all their loyal, trusted staffers on short order due entirely due to referrals from new employees. You don’t even have to have the new employees related to each other to be suspicious of why all your veteran staff suddenly come down with fireable offenses within a few weeks of each other.
It stretched my suspension of disbelief way too far.

Absolutely. The movie had some absurdity that makes you speechless, but you effectively shouldn't take it seriously. It's really absurd.
It's the style of the movie.
After that moment you described, the whole thing becomes hollywoodian, loses the plot mentally and escalates further and further
It was entertaining but I'm surprised it's viewed as a masterpiece
And there were some inconsistencies
