just watched the film Pleasantville and found it beyond stupid.

I also found Pleasantville stupid, and disgustingly filthy. I don't mind retro movies taking a satirical look at the 1950s, but it has to be grounded in reality, and there is no reason for it to be mean-spirited. "Galaxy Quest" made fun of Star Trek, while showing affection for the show at the same time. "Back to the Future" and "Peggy Sue Got Married" poke gentle fun with 1950s time travel, but was not at all mean-spirited or contemptuous.

You voiced my dislike of the film perfectly. By the end of it I was rooting for the black and whites! To be left alone....

American Beauty is another piece of high accolades garbage, similar vein

“Galaxy Quest” made fun of Star Trek”

Great movie and I have never seen one Star Trek episode. Though I have seen clips and so many of the cultural references to it. That one cannot avoid seeing/reading.
