I viscerally disliked A History of Violence. I just didn't get what Cronenberg was going for.
On the other hand, I thought Mutual Appreciation was the best movie I'd seen in a long time. I saw it in NYC and Bujalski was there doing a Q&A; when someone asked how much the movie cost, he said "A very small amount in movie terms, but a very large amount for a human being."
Oops, I meant to make that a link to this post, but it doesn't discuss the movie until a ways down anyway...
