13 Most Pretentious Movies Of All Time
11. Gummo
Gummo exemplifies perfectly that old adage: just because you're different, it doesn't make you special... nor does it make you a good movie. Okay, so maybe that analogy fell apart a bit near the end, but you get the idea.
Harmony Korine is known for weird, experimental films, but none are quite as confusing or pointless as Gummo.
To call Gummo a movie is... pretty generous, to be honest. Gummo is more of a collage of random, exceptionally disturbing, scenes. Ranging from folk doing a good ol' bit glue huffing to someone having a lovely, relaxing bath in filthy water to actual satanic rituals to... just so much cat murder. Seriously, I cannot stress how much cat murder there is in this film.
There are plenty of people who will claim that Gummo means... something. But for the life of us we can't figure out what it is other than just being weird for the sake of being weird.
