La La Land
La La Land won a ton of awards. Unfortunately, most people think that the idea behind the movie was what actually won the public's attention instead of the acting and cinematography. Critics call La La Land an "overhyped sing-along that leans too hard on old-Hollywood tropes and will be forgotten in the matter of a few years." Ouch, that's harsh.
Pulp Fiction
There is a Pulp Fiction poster hanging on the wall of every single "alternative" college freshman's dorm. That says a lot about the people who rep this movie. Pulp Fiction is the quintessential Tarrantino flick. There are lots of gunshots, drugs, angry men, and witty quotable lines, but no depth to the overarching plot. Pulp Fiction is a cool movie, but it's vapid and hollow.
