It stands to reason that many of these series contain some of the greatest characters of all time as well....

“Pretentious” is a label put on things that try too hard to be profound. They take themselves far too seriously, often attemptingto be avant-garde or metaphorical, but wind up feeling contrived and confusing. Rather than simply telling a good story, these movies strive to be smart and impressive — but fail. Redditors have gotten together several times onr/movies, the largest film subreddit, to discuss the most pretentious movies of all time, and these are some of the titles that came up again and again....

Written byNick Hornbyand directed byStephen Frears,State of the Unionexplores the current relationship status of Louise (Rosamund Pike) and Tom (Chris O’Dowd) through ten 10-minute episodes. Their crumbling marriage has led them to weekly marital therapy sessions, and before each appointment, they meet at a pub to talk through how they ultimately got to this point, and if they feel that there’s something between them that’s still worth saving.
