Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)
Very Enjoyable
Somehow, I started watching this movie without any foreknowledge of who Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were, what the general premise of the movie was or that it was somehow connected to Hamlet. I can't get over what a twist it was to find out that the story I was watching was a meaningless inconsequential part of another ongoing story. Some people complain about the directing being off, but I really enjoyed the flat and surreal acting and dialog of the main characters. It gave the main characters a quality of unimportance that was really appropriate especially contrasted with the Player's dramatic pomposity and self-importance. This movie is not for everyone though, I have tried to share it with friends, and nobody else seems to like it.
Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976)
One of the worst movies ever made.
I kept watching it because it seemed like the plot was going somewhere. When it ambiguously got there I was very disappointed. I'm going to tell you what really happened in the next sentence. But maybe I won't. Maybe I'll just imply something will happen. The writers lacked any imagination. This is not even a "B" movie - it's a made for TV "B" movie.
