83. That was awful

I mean, good acting and all, but the point of the movie escaped me.

Same with Looking for Mr. Goodbar-- never saw it but know the plot and heard it was really upsetting for many. Strobe light flashing while Diane Keaton is being stabbed. Fade out.

And, speaking of upsetting, how about Easy Rider????????
