I can not understand why anyone would enjoy this movie. The first 15 minutes were fantastic then it just devolves into le life of a bum. Nothing of interest happens after the first melting scene. Nothing at all. Besides MAYBE the shoplifting scene.

literally one of my favourite movies
I tried watching this 5 times and I fell asleep midways every single time tbf

Can you explain what you like about it? I just tried watching it and I sincerely don't get it. I watched it up to the hour mark and turned it off, I just don't understand why someone would like this. The plot meaders around nothingness and just shows homeless people blowing around in the wind.

It gets good when it gets back to the melting, but then there's like 18 minutes left of the movie and it just ends.
Cleopatra (1963) was one of the greatest tests of endurance I've ever put myself through. Had Rex Harrison not been there, I would have just given up after 30 minutes.
Not quite the same case, but I came close to giving up.
Boyhood
Actually it probably doesn't count because I didn't even make it to the midpoint. 35 minutes of literally nothing was enough to make me tap out.

>just shows homeless people blowing around in the wind.
I liked it so soon as I realised that that must be what bum life is mostly like, I know it's unintentonal but it's pretty interesting (also, as >>64411305 said it makes the following meltings so much better)

Because it's a unflinching and realistic look into the life of the lowest class of human in western civilization. I find that interesting, but obviously not for everyone. I'd probably still watch it without the meltings. That was just the cherry on the cake.
Also I turned off that zombie movie with Woody when it turned into the Bill Murray Hero Worship hour. He's entertaining in his [long-ago] roles, but what the fuck?

huh, okay. I'll give it another watch eventually to try and get Into it with different expectations. I wAs expecting just a gorey horror movie after the first 15 minutes.

That's the weird thing about low-budget grossout/exploitation flicks. They very often have these plots involving gang violence, the homeless epidemic, unemployment, politics...essentially social commentary and expose, wrapped up in other horrors. Other features like Slime City, earlier Troma and Van Webber's works all subscribe to this, as well as [general] exploitation features.
It's funny because the middle-classes who go to see this are more shocked by the coloured syrups than the harsh reality being shown to them. Maybe that's the self-aware irony. I don't know.
The Anvil Hoarder (1930)
Fuck you guys for recommending it.
