I understand what you mean. I usually don't have that problem with books, but I sometimes do with movies. Sometimes, I think I'm the only person in my generation with an IQ above 100 who liked the first Porky's movie, or the only person other than myself and [livejournal.com profile] esrblog who enjoyed Howard the Duck.

Never seen either! From what I recall of what each is about, I wouldn't like Porky's anyway, but I oughta give Howard the Duck a try. I very dimly recall watching a few minutes of it when I was a child, but nothing beyond "Huh, there's a giant duck walking around and talking in a live-action movie instead of a cartoon. Weird."

Don't bother with Porky's. Since you didn't go to a US high school, you probably wouldn't find it particularly funny anyway. But do look up Howard the Duck--it's snarky, and funny, and has a wonderful scene that's a lot like the grocery store shoot-em-up in Grosse Pointe Blank.
