For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

    2001 is definitely what I call a watch once film. It’s worth watching based on it’s artistic merits, and appreciating the groundbreaking for it’s time practical cinematography. But the film is definitely super dry, and not quite entertaining. When the intermission comes on, actually take a break and talk with someone or refresh yourself. The ending is also kind of nonsense taken at face value, it’s a film to be discussed, not really enjoyed.

    For those reasons I say it’s worth a watch, only really once.
