The Big Lebowski
Daphne Merkin of the New Yorker dropped a scathing review of this film in 1998 that highly criticized The Big Lebowski's uselessly intellectual references specifically to stimulate and empower nerds. Others, however, criticized the movie's confusing story and lack of actual comedic value. The characters were memorable, but that was really it. The Big Lebowski is a cult hit, but only for people who think that they're smarter than you (for the most part).
