Films that are supposed to great but are pants

I think one of the reasons I really really like Lost in Translation, Brokeback Mountain and The Terminal is because the acting in them is phenomenal.

Perhaps too because I get so involved with films I end up "in them" in my brain and completely captivated by the emotions and the situation - what would I do?, How would I cope? etc. I think these films were realistic enough, along with the acting, to allow you to easily stumble into those thoughts and get emotionally involved.

I cannot say enough how absolutely superb Heath Ledger was in Brokeback Mountain. As well as Jake Gyllenhaal - his acting skills completely took me by surprise. Very impressed.

So maybe, perhaps, the admiration in those films lie in the acting as opposed to a superb ground breaking storyline? I think so anyway
