Pretty simple. Post some unpopular opinions about any topic that you hold.
Mine: ‘The Quick and the Dead’ is the best western ever made.

-Any food can be made better by (the right) hot sauce.
-Bob Dylan > The Beatles
-Dostoevsky was a better philosopher than novelist (and he wasn't a great philosopher)
-Neon Genesis Evangelion is the greatest work of art of the 20th century
-Late Spring > Tokyo Story

That may be an unpopular opinion and I may not necessarily agree, but that movie is pretty fantastic. I love it and it's one of Hackman's best performances ever. |

The Godfather III was better than the second one in the trilogy.

Star Wars is moronic and George Lucas does not need a chin lift.

The Godfather III was better than the second one in the trilogy. WOW! I can't agree with one iota of that, but cheers to you...I think that that's the one to beat in terms of unpopular opinions.  |

-Neon Genesis Evangelion is the greatest work of art of the 20th century ... FLCL is better than Neon Genesis Evangelion... I love FLCL, but no. That's a bit like saying Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead is better than Hamlet. |

It's not extreme...like, I never hear anyone say that it's an absolutely horrible piece of shit, but no one else I know seems to like it like I do. I used to love 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly' more than any other western, but on repeat watchings...I just think that 'The Quick and the Dead' is better. It can be so over the top and dramatic. I love it. |

The book ending to 'A Clockwork Orange' is better than the movie ending.
I'm actually not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I usually here the reverse from people.

I love it. I'm a fan in general of Raimi and his OTT take on various genres (few directors have done more with less than he did with the Evil Dead series); but TQATD just seemed like a banal imitation of Sergio Leone to me. While Raimi can do style, he's not a stylist par excellence like Leone, and without Morricone's music it's just lacking something extra to elevate it above just being a fun genre exercise. It's a film I like, but can't say I love. Of course, I'm a bit odd in thinking Leone's best film, by far, was Once Upon a Time in America, and I'd even take West over any of his Man With No Name films (I liked them better as Kurosawa's Yojimbo/Sanjuro). For Westerns I tend to prefer John Ford, which in itself may be a rather unpopular opinion these days (seem to be more Leone and Peckinpah fans around; Ford's more understated and poetic style is, I guess, a bit old-fashioned). |

american sports is a glossed over commercial for doped-up 'athletes'.

I've never actually seen Once Upon a Time in America, but I also love Once Upon a Time in the West, though not as much as Good/Bad/Ugly. Yea, Morricone's score is incredible...almost completely intrinsic to the movies. I couldn't imagine Leone's films without those scores. Yojimbo is a movie I still haven't seen, and I keep meaning to check it out. Would you say it's better than Seven Samurai? I wouldn't say Ford's films are unpopular...definitely not critically speaking. I mean, The Searchers is still commonly held as the best western. |

american sports is a glossed over commercial for doped-up 'athletes'. I enjoy some of those sports, and I mostly agree with this opinion. The one exception is hockey, which due to its structure doesn't really lend itself well to constant commercial breaks...which is probably why it's nowhere near as popular as the other sports. |
