boring?

to each, his own.
but you have to admit the title delivered exactly what it said it would.

i cant really see how anyone could think differently. it was so incredibly slow moving. At times i thought it would pick up, there would be intense music, and the camera would pan over some mountains...and that was it. Anti-climactic. The scenes of conflict between Daniel Day and Paul Dano were awesome, could have used some more of that. everything in between felt like random, uneventful scenes strung together. The ending was worth sitting through the entire 3 hours however.
"I drink your milkshake!"
Still think the title is misleading. no blood in the literal sense, I suppose its in a metaphorical sense, but i still didnt see it.

Hard to say without knowing what you've already seen. You seem to have an appreciation for the great directors and great drama. If you haven't seen Goodfellas, check that out. For a war drama, try The Onion Fields.

For classic horror, I recommend Corman's Poe adaptations- House of Usher, Tomb of Liegea. Vincent Price in The Witchfinder General.

Bizarre sci-fi/horror from the 60s- X- The Man With X-Ray Eyes.

To steal a recommendation from Alky- Peeping Tom.

Checked out Kurosawa? Start at the top with Ran, or try a lesser known Dodes Kaden.

Quirky comedy- Harold & Maude, one of my all time favorite films.

Altman's Nashville

Just some things off the top of my head.
