Colorado Daydream. I can't give it away (please take it from me, I'll pay postage)
Specimen. First of the Rocklands ones to come out, so I was a bit giddy, in spite of being warned it's shit. Some good footage, but a whole lot of crap inbetween. (see above comment about giving it away).

Specimen was awful.

I hated Chasing Winter too, on principle, for the douchebaggy levels of entitlement and the belief that they could climb wherever they wanted and endanger access for local climbers. I haven't actually watched it, and I won't, because I refuse to support them.

I found Between The Trees hugely disappointing (partly I found it dull/detached, not helped by the overhyping/sycophancy around the release), and L'Etranger was similar although I'd not parted with cash for that so a simple press of the Delete key sorted it.

I never really liked http:bloc either, but I didn't own that myself so maybe I'd have liked it better with repeat viewing.

I actually didn't rate The Real Thing when I first saw it, crazy I know.

I would like to see bits of this, but don't like novelty acts sufficiently enough that I probably won't watch it.

I even found the bits with mlm attempting science friction sans les mains in bleau enough to make me leave the room

"Call it what you want" is one of the few videos I've never re-watched, and remember not being particularly involved in it, same for 'Monkey See, Monkey Do'...
