8. The movie spoiler was a plot point on Homicide: Life on the Street

I don't know if you remember that series, but in one episode it turned out some jerk would go to a cinema screening the classics and shout out plot spoilers during the movie.

But there's really no substitute for seeing a movie and forming an opinion. I have a nice long list of movies and actors who enjoy a strong following but draw a "Meh" or worse from me. For example, every St. Patrick's Day people rave about The Quiet Man, which mostly makes me cringe. It's not just that John Wayne stars in it, either, because I enjoy Stagecoach.
