I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Fight Club (Fincher)
Do The Right Thing (Lee)
Vertigo (Hitchcock)
2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick)
Birdman (Iñárritu)
Barton Fink (J&E Coen)

Upstream Color (Carruth)
Blue Valentine (Cianfrance)
I guess I like movies that start with the letter 'B'

How to train your dragon is definitely better than Inception. I liked troll hunter but it’s been a decade since I saw it - I remember thinking it was fun but really only like 45 minutes worth of movie stretched into 90

Avengers is an embarrassing choice, though i will say it kinda represents a death of my childhood (but in a good way). Pretty impressive logistical feat if nothing else. Marvel is easy to hate now, but they actually treated those original characters very well. Props to them for not turning Captain America another dull "liberal" mouthpiece.
Not sure why Darjeeling is on my old list but Life Aquatic isn't. I don't remember much about Darjeeling except that I like it. Life Aquatic is much more pleasingly right wing. What a
man that Steve Zissou is!
