Movies don't have to be a thrill a minute. There are great movies that invite you to be bored and yet can still move you deeply, challenge your preconceptions—or maybe put you right to sleep. Here are the best movies that people think are boring.
Lots of my favorites on this list. I really love a good slow moody movie. It’s where the format really shines as far as I’m concerned. When you have 8 hours to advance a complex plot and introduce a bunch of characters now in a miniseries or season of shows, it’s sort of hard to compete. So it makes sense to me when a filmmaker realizes they don’t need to compete with that and just settles in to just complete a thought and tell a story well.
