At the end of a hard day, are you going to put on a slow, you-must-eat-your-vegetables-and-watch-this-movie-or-else-you-will-be-a-drooling-fool film?
Then again, when you're brain's on fire fire and hungry for sustenance, isn't anything less than excellent an affront?

haaa haaa, i love l'avventura but yes it put me to sleep the first time i watched it. the second time i tolerated it, the third time i loved it. didn't have that problem with la notte or l'eclisse though, i got into them right away.
but like you said, there are different movies for different days and situations.
my netflix queue is full of 5-start ratings that couldn't be more incompatible with each other.
i think that movies should be judged not by an absolute standard but by the promises they make to the audience. there are 5-star action movies and there are 1-star art films.
by the way i re-watched the star trek reboot recently and it was so much fun. 5-star for sure.
