Arthur (1981). I really like the theme song when it comes up so I thought I'd give it a go, especially considering it won an Oscar. The titular character sucks, which I'm aware is the point but it's just aged so poorly. I have no sympathy for this effective billionaire, I don't care that nobody loves him for his personality, I don't care that he's drowning himself in booze, and frankly, he annoys me. I'm sure he gives up the money and booze for love at the end but that still doesn't redeem him being so fucking annoying. I'm predisposed to dislike him and nothing he does in the first 45 minutes changes that
