Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers.
I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche.
Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like The Brutalist or The Whale, and then I can also enjoy something silly like Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Seriously, you should go watch that, Rachel McAdams is amazing in it). It really simply depends on my mood and my emotions in the moment and what I want to watch.
I've also learned that the rating system is broken, because it pits movies that are polar opposites like that in direct competition, and there is no way to compare them. Apples and Oranges. But that's a separate topic.
