Feels like the universe and the mighty moviegods(Magazines, critics etc)has decided that we already like some movies before we even have seen them.
It becomes almost like a collective psychosis in the media-world sometimes.
And some older movies have become popular and more appreciated later on with the help of the audience rather than the media,people spreading the word,a classic.

I have not seen all of these movies,some I have seen and like(some I don't like),the reason I chose them is because of popularity and all the buzz,writings and what I have heard from friends and others etc.

Just wondering, are we often having our judgement clouded/affected based on what we have heard or read.
I certainly have liked movies more because of all the hype,I was not aware of it at the time though.

Any movie Suggestions?
