Good Movie, Great Ending

Top 10 Movies That I Hate But Everyone Else Loves (11 movies items)"I first saw this one in secondary school, in a hall with really bad acoustics, so that certainly didn't help. Now, to its credit, I can understand why it won an Oscar for Best Screenplay: it's a simple but theoretically effective fish-out-of-water story. But what really kills it for me is the performance. The dialogue is in that deliberately simplistic style that just does not sound natural, and it really makes the acting seem wooden. That and I just didn't warm up to the Amish environment, even"
