Movies everyone liked but you

[Taverner]

I'll start - "The Godfather"

I thought it was boring, pointless and unrealistic. I don't see what's so great about it. And I have nothing against Mafia movies, I think "Good Fellas" and "Casino" are pure genius.

[johnnie]

1. A lot of people liked Pulp Fiction

And I just want to know..what the hell was that crap?

[Taverner]

5. ooooh don't go see Resivoir Dogs then!

Pulp Fiction x 10

[Awsi Dooger]

38. Agreed, I couldn't have been more bored or baffled

Pulp Fiction is comfortably on the list of worst movies I've ever seen. I was beyond shocked when many people liked it and tried to pretend it was quality or clever.

[Blue_Tires]

93. +1

I'd also add "Jurassic Park", and about 90 percent of the comic book movies that have come out in the past decade (Spiderman, XMen, etc)

[blondeatlast]

119. Agreed. I'm always accused of not getting dark humor, but I thought

Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels were great.

[Jade Fox]

124. Couldn't agree more.

[Dastard Stepchild]

143. Yes... I'll go one further and say all Taratino flicks...

I am not a fan.

[WCGreen]

152. Really....

I liked the interconnecting stories, but the gratuitous violence just left me cold...

It's just violence for violence sake...

I think it's his nerdiness getting back at people for perhaps roughing him up a bit as a kid so he retreated into make believe retaliation...

[terrya]

2. "Forest Gump"

Pure unadulterated, sentimental crapola. I, still, to this day, don't understand how this piece of dreck won the Best Picture Oscar.

[Taverner]

I liked it, but I agree, it didn't deserve the oscar

It was an OK movie, something that plays well on TNT on a Saturday afternoon.

But nothing more than that.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. Amen to that.

[bigwillq]

25. Me too.

I hated that one.

[LostinVA]

112. I HATED it -- ugh

I agree with your critique.

[Shell Beau]

3. Godfather III sucked, but the first 2 were awesome!

;)

[Taverner]

6. I didn't like any of them

I just couldn't get into it.

[Beer Snob-50]

11. i have the trilogy on dvd

and the third one is growing on me if you take the scenes with coppola's daughter out.

[Fox Mulder]

7. The Wizard of Oz

:puke:

[Tracer]

8. LIttle Miss Sunshine.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Unfunny dreck.

[ElizabethDC]

39. Me too - I don't get why people like it so much n/t

[hatredisnotavalue]

51. ditto n/t

[last_texas_dem]

81. I'll agree on that one

Though I think we're not really that alone on it. The critics did love it to pieces, but the majority of the people I've known who watched it either disliked it or thought it was OK but very overrated. I didn't hate it, but it mostly just depressed me, and it wasn't that "moving", thought-provoking kind of depression that powerful movies bring about; it was more of a "why the hell did I spend two hours of my life getting bummed out to a very average movie?" kind of depression.

[blondeatlast]

120. If the critics fall all over themselves about a movie, I KNOW I'm going to hate it.

I agree, and had I not known it was supposed to be so wonderful, I might have enjoyed it.

[Control-Z]

154. I agree

It just depressed me.

[Connonym]

9. Blue Velvet n/t

[HERVEPA]

12. Definitely one of my favorites

What was not to like?

[Beer Snob-50]

10. ordinary people

it was the worst movie i have ever seen nd it won the best movie oscar.

[Dulcinea]

56. Agreed.

I didn't see why so many people liked it. I hated it.

[AlCzervik]

13. Moulin Rouge, hated it.

[Taverner]

14. Couldn't stand it either

[GirlinContempt]

22. I'll get your back on that one

or something

[ElizabethDC]

40. I feel like Moulin Rouge is a movie that people either love or hate

personally, I love it, but I know several people who don't. It's a very different kind of movie, and people tend to have strong reactions to it, one way or the other.

[LostinVA]

113. Me too, and I liked all the actors in it

[Mad_Dem_X]

129. Me, too. I had such high hopes

I loved the concept (using modern songs), but when I saw the finished product...meh.

I also did not like:
Pulp Fiction
Jerry Maguire
Clueless

...all of them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated, IMO.

[HughBeaumont]

15. SIGH, here goes . . .

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Both Kill Bills.
Anything by Kevin Smith with the possible exception of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Donnie Darko.
The Big Lebowski.
Natural Born Killers.
Fight Club (I didn't really HATE it per se, I just don't think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread like all of their fans do).
Traffic, Crash and 21 Grams. Let's amend this - I didn't the MOVIEs so much sucked, I found the female performances in these to be over-the-goddamned-top ANNOYING as fuck-all and because of them, completely ruined each film. Since when did "Oscar worthy" for females mean acting like repellent bitchy shrews?
Mean-spirited, punching-bag main character movies such as There's Something about Mary, Meet the Parents, Kingpin, etc.
Movie scenes where Will Farrell chews scenery like a cow.
Magnolia.
American Beauty.
Joy Luck Club.

[Exiled in America]

42. I try to be open minded, but not likeing the big lebowski means we cannot be friends. :(

I'm sorry.



hee hee (I'm kidding, but TBL is my favorite comedy of all time.)

[HughBeaumont]

45. Admittedly, the hallucinogenic First Edition scene was good.

I just didn't like the rest of it.

[Taverner]

80. The Big Lebowski is the greatest movie ever made

STFU Donnie

[Control-Z]

155. Dang good movie, The Big Lebowski

Groundhog Day deserves a very honorable mention here, as well, dontcha think?

[deutsey]

102. See my signature line

:evilgrin:

I agree...TBL is my all-time favorite comedy. Have you been to www.lebowskifest.com and www.dudeism.com? If you go to the Dude Is In section of dudeism.com and scroll to the bottom, you'll see a book idea I suggested (it's the one by Smokey). The idea and text is mine, the site owner did the graphic.

[stuntcat]

110. of those

I did like Donnie Darko and Magnolia but I'm with you on most of them. Especially Kill Bill 2, omg it drained hours from my life, I saw it at a dinner theatre so I couldn't get away from it. Something About Mary too- some inlaws were visiting us and that's the movie they picked to watch.. and I'd already sat through it once before :banghead:

[Mad_Dem_X]

130. Donnie Darko? American Beauty?

:wow:

[HughBeaumont]

141. American Beauty sucked the balls of the dead.

Except for the gay neighbors, I hated EVERY character in that movie, especially Ricky Fitts. Hated the story even more.

Donnie Darko was . . . well, not as God-and-heaven-astounding as everyone made it sound. It had it's moments, but it's a real downer.

[begin_within]

178. I'm with you on "The Big Lebowski"... an utter waste of 2 hours.

I still don't see what is "good" about it in any sense. It's an attempt to assemble a collection of oddball characters and put them through an improbable plot, with a script that consists of the words "fuck" and "fucking" with an occasional other word sprinkled here and there... the characters seemed as if they were planned on paper to have X quality, Y quality, etc. and then cast to fit the plan. None of them had any of the natural charm of the loonies in John Waters' films, for example. It was an ordeal to sit through, but we sat there, hoping that it would get better, but alas...

[davsand]

16. Any Woody Allen film.

I know other people think he's really funny, but I just don't GET most of it. Some of his quotes are kind of funny, but the movies just don't make me laugh at all.

Hubby thinks I'm nuts.


Laura

[johnnie]

20. I only liked one

"Take the money and run" was pretty funny.

[Roon]

30. Nothing on TV or film makes me laugh anymore

I thought it was because I lost my sense of humor after my breakup. I went to a party recently and I had people laughing. I also make my Physicians assistant and my ex-foster daughter laugh too. So, I guess I just got picky on what I find funny or not.

[Deja Q]

107. I'll met you halfway:

His early stuff; from "What's Up, Tiger Lily" to "Annie Hall" is usually class A stuff. (Though "Everything you always wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask)" is horribly dated, superficial, and tedious. The sheep vignette was almost classy, but overly long - how much can one really do with a sheep bestiality joke anyway?)

"What's Up, Tiger Lily" is a bit raunchy at times, but utterly unexpected and well-placed, those jokes are. Especially given the storyline's unusual format (think MST3K, except nobody's in front of the movie making jokes. Woody's troupe are doing voiceovers for other characters with their own made-up dialogue. It's stingingly brilliant. Ignore the TV syndicated conversion, whose 'cleaned up' jokes make no sense whatsoever. The original dialogue track is infinitely superior.)

Anything after "Annie Hall" gets more and more psycho and depressing in tone due to what some people dare call 'drama'. Uh, no...

[Toonses]

118. any woody allen film

I agree. I 'get' it, but I just don't think he's funny.

[davsand]

122. Welcome to DU!

Wow, your first post on DU and you did it to agree with me about not liking Woody Allen films--I am honored!

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

Laura

[Midlodemocrat]

138. I am right there with you. I don't get him at all.

I went to see Bullets over Broadway...everyone in the theatre was howling...I fell asleep. :blush:

[patricia92243]

17. Titanic n/t

[taterguy]

18. Lots of people hated Titanic

[patricia92243]

24. Hi neighbor - not familiar with Camel City :)

:hi:

[GCP]

19. "Lost in Translation"

Just didn't get it.

[Courtesy Flush]

140. I kept watching it

My wife couldn't believe I watched the whole movie. It's the kind of film I usually watch for a half hour, then walk out. I didn't like the movie at all, but I enjoyed looking at Scarlett Johannsen so much I had to keep watching.

Call me a dirty old man, but she's beautiful.

[jonnyblitz]

21. "Shaun of the Dead" and "V for Vendetta " come to mind. nt

[cobalt1999]

23. the whole Star Wars series

Thought it was hokey and predictable.

[seemunkee]

26. Chicago

Halfway through I told my wife I couldn't take it anymore and left.

[HEyHEY]

27. There's something about mary

Yeah, and it's the fact her movie blew

[AlCzervik]

29. Agreed, when i saw it people were busting a gut laughing--just not funny.

Of course when i went to see "Troy" i was busting a gut laughing but no one else was.

[mduffy31]

179. The only part of that movie I thought was funny

Was the part when Brett Favre came in, and it isn't that funny just what Matt Dillion says.

[DrDan]

28. the Piano

boring boring boring

[Okiojira]

31. Fargo

I liked pretty much every Cohen Bros. movie up to that point, but I truly did not fathom what everyone else thought was so damned great about that film.

Conversely, I always wondered why "The Hudsucker Proxy" (another Cohen Bros. movie) didn't do so well. It was a lot more entertaining than "Fargo", IMO.:shrug:

[begin_within]

180. The only good movie the Coen brothers have made is "The Man Who Wasn't There."

[NoGOPZone]

32. "Silence of the Lambs"

Not scary, and Jody's done much better.

[ceile]

33. Geez, there are so many!

But here's 3:
Forrest Gump
The Godfather
A Clockwork Orange

[Critters2]

34. The Gods Must be Crazy

Honestly, I thought it was a complete waste of time. But I've learned not to say so out loud.

[Broken_Hero]

35. Borat...-edit

Meet Joe Black....The Postman...bleh.

ETA-The Deer Hunter, and Apocalypse Now...

[Common Sense Party]

89. Borat is a complete waste of time and brain cells.

Wow...it's "Candid Camera" meets "punk'd!"

What was the whole point?

I just don't get uncomfortable "comedy".

[blondeatlast]

121. I literally squirmed through it since Mr. B loved it.

Nice to know I'm not alone.

[blogslut]

36. Wall Street

I stopped watching about 30 minutes into the film. I hated every character and didn't give a damn what happened to them.

[VespertineIconoclast]

37. Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and Spiderman 1

I disliked them so much I don't even remember anything about either movie (and I was wide awake when I watched them).

[Broken_Hero]

43. Ditto on POTC part I

it took me 5 tries to finish that movie...

[VespertineIconoclast]

49. I thought I was the only person on the planet!

Good to find a kindred spirit. :hi:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

69. it was movie based on a theme ride

never got why people thought formulaic popcorn fare was somthing more. i fell asleep during it.

[stuntcat]

109. *bleh*

they were both just big BIG payoffs it seems.
At least in Spiderman I liked the actors but it's still not anything I need to sit through again.

[Bjornsdotter]

41. A few...

....Rocky, Saturday Night Fever, Titanic, any Star Trek movie, West Side Story, The Sound of Music.

Just a few that come to mind.

Cheers

[CrownPrinceBandar]

44. "Donnie Darko"............

BORING!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........

[Frank Cannon]

91. Hey, I liked that movie

But it was certainly overrated.

Love your avatar, BTW.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

104. I like your ELO sigline.........

"old people music rawks!" :thumbsup:

[Mad_Dem_X]

132. Oh my goodness

I love DD!

[SaveElmer]

46. "Gone With the Wind"

Hands down MOST overrated movie ever made...

[fishwax]

47. cider house rules

[Control-Z]

156. Are you Series11!?1!?!

Oh. My.:wow:

[sarge43]

48. 2001 gets me run out of town every time.

Another self indulgent "look at me; I'm directing" Kubrick screw the narrative effort.

[Blue_Tires]

97. yeah, he really butchered the novel n/t

[Downtown Hound]

50. The Matrix

Sorry to all you Matrix fans out there. Most of my best friends love this movie, and normally we agree on just about everything when it comes to music or movies.

Except this. I found it to be unimaginative, full of cliches, and thought the acting was terrible and the dialog cheesy beyond belief. I actually liked the sequels better, because at least they stopped trying to be clever.

[Dulcinea]

55. Same here.

I hated that movie. It bored me to tears. That was 2 1/2 hours I'll never get back.

[Jade Fox]

126. oh yeah

I couldn't even make it all the way through the Matrix. Incomprehensible, derivative, and boring.

[alarimer]

52. 21 Grams

Okay, so maybe not a lot of people liked it but enough did for me to buy it.

I totally didn't get it; couldn't follow the story at all because if it's nonlinear format.

Fortunately the thieves stole it when they broke in to my apartment and I never have to watch it again. LOL

[Joe Fields]

53. Something About Mary

[alarimer]

54. I hated that one too

I don't really like that kind of juvenile humor I guess

[GenDem]

58. That's the one I was going to say, too.

I never got it. It just wasn't funny for me. :shrug:

[Orsino]

57. Reservoir Dogs

I guess it was well-acted, but it seemed pointless. All that brutality, for nothing.

Cold Mountain also left me cold. Donald Sutherland, Renee Zellweger and Philip Seymour Hoffman were all good, but the leads were mostly just sort of there, and the ending was trebly pointless.

[fudge stripe cookays]

59. Memento

I hate mindfuck movies-- especially ones where you can't tell if it's the present or a flashback.

[Left Is Write]

60. The Matrix, Moulin Rouge, Anchorman, Bridget Jones' Diary

[Shakespeare]

61. Fucking Fight Club.

Any movie that makes me roll my eyes most of the way through it never really makes my list of favorites. Faux macho bullshit.

[idgiehkt]

62. amen

the only theory I've heard that makes sense is that the protagonist is bisexual and at the end when he grabs Helena Bonham Carter's hand, he chooses the feminine over the masculine and all the masculine buildings falling are phallic, representing the choice to be heterosexual.

:shrug: :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

65. i like the first 10 minutes, after that--blah.

[Elidor]

63. Shawn of the Dead

I didn't laugh. I was bored. I turned it off halfway through, very disappointed.

[MissMillie]

64. Pulp Fiction

ick

[bleedingheart]

67. I am with ya ...

Pulp Fiction sucked...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

101. That's the one I thought of too. n/t

[Mendocino]

66. Jurassic Park

A 50's Saturday matinee B-movie done big. At least Spielberg has grown out of this sort of stuff.

[bleedingheart]

68. The Unbearable Lightness of Being

god I wish someone would give me back the part of my life wasted watching that piece of crap.

[racaulk]

70. Jackie Brown (with Pulp Fiction as a close second)

OMGs that movie was awful! Three hours of my life I'll never get back. I still don't understand the plot, or the point, of that movie to this very day.

:shrug:

[Robeson]

71. Gladiator...

...put me to sleep.

[Release The Hounds]

72. 40 Year Old Virgin

[FloridaJudy]

163. I'll second that

40 Year Old Virgin stunk like a four-day-old herring. It had a few amusing bits (the chest-waxing scene was a hoot), but over-all it was smarmy and repulsive.

[Danmel]

73. Ghost

I thought it was sentimental stupid crap- I went with 4 other women and they were all bawling their eyes out. When the criminal stopped to dig a token out of his pocket instead of jumping the turnstile, i laughed out loud. Everyone in the theater looked at me. I couldn't help it- it was so fucking stupid!

[Maccagirl]

82. Agreed-it tried to be several different movies

and didn't work. Whoopi Goldberg was fine (and her character was well-written) but I don't understand it's box-office success.

[Zomby Woof]

74. American Beauty

Suburban ennui and angst amped up, with the obligatory manipulative ending. John Updike did this kind of shit far better in his 'Rabbit Angstrom' series, without the formulaic manipulation.

What a waste of Chris Cooper's talent. From an acting standpoint, Kevin Spacey isn't even fit to shine Cooper's shoes.

[idgiehkt]

76. oh yes

underscored. The military Dad did a wonderful job with his oppressed homosexual angst in that film but the rest of it didn't fly for me. It had an undercurrent of misogyny that made me squirm a bit. Annette Benning did a great job of degrading herself, which she seems to be good at (a la Grifters). Just a squicky film all the way around.

And if I remember correctly the real outrage was that Spacey got the Oscar for this over Denzel Washington in Hurricane, which I loved and I think Denzel did an amazing job in. Denzel wuzrobbed. Sucks.

edit: Yes! we agree, it's Cooper who played the Dad, and he KICKED ASS in that movie, the one redeeming feature. Woohoo, I didn't know his name at first til I looked it up. God, I could just feel his angst and oppression....wow, still gives me chills.

That is also my feeling about Spacey. I just don't 'get it' with him...I did like him in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" though, but many actors could have done just as well.

[Frank Cannon]

90. God, I fucking hate that movie

Pile of offensive and implausible bullshit masquerading as some profound statement on the empty soul of suburbia.

I could not believe that movie was as popular as it was. It's one of the few films I've almost walked out on, and it takes a LOT for me to want to walk out of a movie.

[Mad_Dem_X]

133. That does it

Despite your awesome sig line, we can't be friends. ;)

[Frank Cannon]

164. Different strokes, I guess.

You don't know how many times I've left the keyboard in tears over all the DUers here bashing "Xanadu".

[cemaphonic]

92. One of several otherwise OK movies elevated by some entertaining scenery chewing by Spacey.

See also The Usual Suspects.

It had kind of a cool score too. But yeah, the story was pretty insulting. Wasn't the writer a sitcom guy?

[Blue_Tires]

94. agreed....i didn't care for it, either...

[Jade Fox]

127. Such crap....

A bad 1990s re-make of films like "The Graduate", produced long after rebelling against suburban materialism had become the hoariest of cliches.

[Mad_Dem_X]

134. But, but...

How can you go wrong with Kevin Spacey beating off in the shower in the first five minutes??? LOL

[Tektonik]

75. Requiem for a Dream was effing terrible

sooooo booooring and overdone; I definitely slept through like a third of it

[lost-in-nj]

77. The Notebook

After I saw this I said

WTF??????????
but I love James Garner



lost

[EstimatedProphet]

78. Out of Africa

2 hours into it, and I looked at my watch to find only 20 minutes had passed.

[Dulcinea]

131. Wild Kingdom in slo-mo.

I fell asleep during that movie. Literally. :boring:

[terrya]

135. The John Barry score is beautiful.

But God, are you so right. "Out of Africa" could have benefited from more editing...or maybe some editing.

[Frank Cannon]

165. It's one of my favorite movie scores ever

but damn, the movie....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[MsKandice01]

168. My mother and her friend took me to see it as a kid...

By the end of the movie, we were ALL asleep.

[IntravenousDemilo]

79. Rocky Horror Picture Show, blech!

Stupid story, banal music, dreadful lyrics, style for its own sake.

Also:
Gladiator (zzzzz)
Rambo (no idea what happened after the first 30 minutes, because I was no longer in the theatre)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Gangs of New York

[terrya]

98. I never understood what the fuss was over "Rocky Horror"

I saw the movie for the first time years ago at a midnight showing in Champaign, Illinois...with people in costume and talking back to the screen and all. The big deal seeing it in a theater was the theatricality of it...but it's the same sort of dynamic as those "Sound of Music Singalongs". Needless to say, "The Sound of Music" is a MUCH better movie. "Rocky Horror" on its own is sort of...eh.

"Gangs of New York" is one of Scorcese's worst films.

SHMILY

[FredStembottom]

151. I often feel it actually is the worst movie I have ever seen!

(although it has to compete with a Ryan O'neal movie about jeans with see=through bottoms from the 70's that has never left my mind as one of the worst movies ever made! Although the title has!)

[IntravenousDemilo]

160. "So Fine" -- which wasn't... n/m

[FredStembottom]

172. That's it! eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww..........

n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

83. Spaceballs

Not my kind of humor. I've been told it's because I'm a girl, but I have no idea. :shrug:

[dropkickpa]

84. Saw

Hated it, laughed the whole way through.

[stuntcat]

111. I'm a horror fan but

Saw sucks. And I can usually sit through anything that says it's horror, even crappy horror movies are funny to watch.
There's nothing in Saw though.

[dropkickpa]

123. I kept yelling "As you wiiiiissh!!!"

When me and my brothers were watching it. I love Cary Elwes, but not his finest performance, he seemed a little tongue in cheek throughout the movie. He can do dramatic, he was really good in the episode of Law and Order:SVU he did, he just didn't do it here.

[haf216]

85. Crash

I thought it long and unbelievable.

[Mad_Dem_X]

136. Never seen it - never want to

I hate it simply because it won Best Picture over "Brokeback Mountain." :grr:

[haf216]

144. I was so mad.

Brokeback Mountain was a better filmed, acted, and written movie.

[jpgray]

86. Lost in Translation

[Flaxbee]

87. Harold and Maude

maybe 'everyone' didn't love the movie, but my freshman year college roommates did, and I HATE IT. Could have something to do with associating the movie with the roomies, but still, I can't get past it.

[hughee99]

88. Gosford Park

It got a lot of "good buzz" as a murder mystery, but the guy doesn't die until the end, and everyone knew who did it. Good acting wasted on a very boring story.

Also... (from Oscar best picture winners)
Chariots of Fire
Dances with Wolves
Annie Hall
The English Patient
8 1/2 (Best Foreign language film)

[LostinVA]

114. I LOVE Gosford Park & Chariots of Fire

But, I agree with you on the rest of your list.

[Blue_Tires]

95. As I've said before, "300"

I know a lot of people on DU didn't like it, but IRL, almost everyone I know says what an epic piece of filmmaking it was....puke

[Blue_Tires]

96. Three words: Jerry Fuckin' Maguire

and I love sports movies, too...incredibly hokey and unrealistic for a movie that was trying to capture the real-life culture of pro athletes and sports agents...

just thought of more: even though I can't say i hated it, I still don't see what was so great about "Being John Malkovich"

And although it was at the time very revolutionary in its web promotion and marketing, "The Blair Witch Project" in retrospect seems repetitive and lame as it works toward the end

[terrya]

99. "The Blair Witch Project" was boring.

A ridiculously overhyped movie.

[Dulcinea]

139. Oh yeah!

"Jerry Maguire" was the most pointless waste of celluloid I've ever seen. What was the point of this movie? Tom Cruise sucks beyond belief. He hasn't done anything worth a crap since "Risky Business."

[idgiehkt]

153. just about any Tom Cruise film does that to me

bo-ring.

[terrya]

100. "Napoleon Dynamite"

I did not laugh once at this ridiculously over-hyped movie. Stupid and lame.

[shawmut]

145. yes

worst movie I've ever had to sit through.

[fizzgig]

181. i couldn't stand that movie

i never understood what the big deal was with that movie

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

103. Anything with "Indiana Jones" in the title.

[Deja Q]

105. Titanic, Fried Green Tomatoes, Dances w/Wolves, Gladiator... you know,

if reviewers and public prop up a movie, I'm more inclined to ignore it. General audiences have BAD taste. I prefer niche stuff. :7

[pokerfan]

106. Lots of people hate Titanic

but I loved it. Then again, I'm a bit of a Titanic buff. They did a marvelous job of bringing that ship to life.

http://copperas.com/titanic/plans.htm

[MsKandice01]

169. I loved it too...

I feel really uncool saying so but honestly, I did. They put a ton of effort to make it as realistic as possible and I think the movie was done really well. I think a lot of the flack the movie gets is really based on dislike for James Cameron.

[Geek_Girl]

108. The English Patient

It was boring

[mockmonkey]

115. Ghostbusters

Not funny and not scary. :shrug:

116. Natural Born Killers.

Great soundtrack. Dumb as shit.

[petronius]

125. That's my vote too...

Everyone was going on about how it was a 'satirical, scathing indictment' of glorified movie violence, when all I saw was an inane movie that relied entirely upon uber-violence, while trying to pretend otherwise...

Total crap-fest!

[Eurobabe]

159. hey that got my vote too.

total dumbass shit movie.

[Blue State Blues]

117. Mystic River

I could not understand what the fuss and Oscar Buzz was about. Penn chewed scenery. Robbins (who I love) played it as if his character suffered brain damage instead of abuse. And I, though I am usually slow to figure out the culprit in an episode of Murder, She Wrote, knew who "did it" just from the opening scene.

128. Great book - heinous movie

I'm with you.

[Auggie]

137. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Was I the only one that found this booooooooooooooooring???

[Brigid]

142. Fargo.

I don't always get the Coen brothers' humor. I loved "O Brother Where Art Thou?", though.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

146. "Eyes Wide Shut"

Mostly because it showed Tom Cruise's lack of range.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

147. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE

unfunny, unoriginal corporate version of much superior indie movie.
it tried too hard. the characters "weirdness" felt contrived and anything that spawns legions of jackoffs spouting catchphrases can't be good.

[Dark]

149. Yea, I hated that movie. I laughed twice. Twice. n/t

[Dark]

148. The Exorcist.

Ugh. Everyone said it was sooooo scary.

Fuck that. It wasn't that frightening.

[orleans]

161. it *was* frightening in 1973--kept lots of teens awake at night.

it's interesting to see how desensitized we (as a society) have become to horror and violence.

[Alexander]

150. Gladiator.

No plot, bad acting, stupid premise, and to top it off, it's historically inaccurate.

An absolute and total shitstain of a film.

[spacelady]

157. Elephant Man.

[Eurobabe]

158. Natural Born Killers

I walked out within first 5 minutes. Disgusting, violent movie.

[orleans]

162. the matrix

the only movie i had to stop and take a break from and then finish watching it the next evening. (my daughter wanted to see it--her friends loved it--so i was determined to watch it)

yuck

[leeroysphitz]

166. All Of the "Lord Of The Rings" movies...

Terrible. Just awful. Each one more wretched than the last.
Peter Jackson simply BLOWS as a director. He should not be allowed to ruin, er I mean direct, another film of any kind.
Unwatchable.

[Vidar]

167. The Matrix--one of only two films I walked out of.

[bif]

170. "Almost Famous"

What a piece of crap that was.

[John Kerry VonErich]

171. Pirates Of The Caribbean

Something about pirates rubs me the wrong way. Except the ones in Pittsburgh.

[Blue_Tires]

173. A.I., Monster's Ball, and Traffic

[Blue_Tires]

174. i hate to say it, but V for Vendetta

[fizzgig]

182. i thought i was the only one who hated traffic

overhyped, predictable and boring as hell

[begin_within]

175. The Big Lebowski... complete waste of time.

[SeattleGirl]

176. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Tried TWICE to watch it, and both times, I fell asleep!

[mduffy31]

177. It insists upon itself

183. Most chick flicks

and I like a good chick flick
