Clockwork Orange gave me nightmares.

try as i might, i just can't get excited about hobbits.  my mum and i went out to see the first 'Lord Of The Rings' films at the pictures when it came out; suffice it to say, we'd both grown beards by time the thing had ended.  and that ain't pretty.

i've seen neither LOTR 2 nor 3; it's seventeen hours of my life i just wouldn't get back again....

I like Martin Scorsese, but I didn't like this movie. I couldn't believe this was the one that finally got him an Oscar. I thought it was really boring and gross...one of those "boy" movies that I just don't get.

And Diner...zzzzzzzzzz. Nothing could make me sit through this snoozer again.

Just how much brooding can Sean Penn do?

...comedies (like There's something about Mary). They are just plain stupid and just make me yawn...

I think Ghost is the only one that you mentioned that I agree with, but I can watch it if I fast forward through everything BUT Whoopi ... although I never got see Life is Beautiful, so I can't comment.

Let's see ...........

I'm not the biggest fan of A Beautiful Mind ...

I hate just about anything with Kevin Costner made after 1997, and the Body Guard, which was made in 1992.
 

Lost in Translation - wanted to rip my eyes out - not a big Sofia Coppola fan.
 

Unbreakable ... (I don't think it was critically acclaimed) I actually hated Samuel L. Jackson in this movie, though I'm ashamed to admit it ....

Mulholland Drive ... I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. It's a very complicated relationship. I prefer the "Twin Peaks" model David Lynch ....

I hated American Beauty, Fight Club, The Graduate, LA Confidential, The English Patient...I'm sure there are more biggies, but that's all I can think of for now.

As far as lesbian movies, I hated two of the popular recent releases: Imagine You and Me and Loving Annabelle. Give me Desert Hearts any day.

I totally agree with Clockwork orange... well,honestly I don't like a single Stanley Kubrik (I don't think I spelled that right, whatever) movie for that matter.

Same goes for Kenneth Branna's movies, Sense and Sensibillity (though I love Emma Thompson),  Star Wars series, Brave Heart, Dancing with wolves, Shakespeare in love... and many, many more, though I can't think of them right now...

Ok, and I have to say this, even though I love old movies, really, I do... but for some reason I could never stand Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Two "good" movies that don't do it for me: A Beautiful Mind and Ray

I haven't been able to sit through either one completely.

 

I like most of these movies, now I feel bad lol but I do have to agree with A Clockwork Orange being a little disturbing, ok A LOT.

Related fact: I watched Singin' in the rain in one of my classes and when I was trying to explain to my mom the plot so she could remember the movie, I actually started singing the song, and she went:oh gross! that movie where they're beating a guy to death with a bat or something? so I went: a no, that's A clockwork orange mom...to which she replied yeah, you have weird taste in movies anyway....she clearly has a movie genre problem.

and I clearly have a weird taste in movies :S

I don't think There's something about Mary is a good movie, though. I wouldn't say I didn't find it funny, but yeah it is stupid.

I didn't like Capote, even when Philip Seymour Hoffman did a fairly good job, I couldn't stand the voice, it was quite annoying.

I agree with cosmiccowgirl, I didn't like American Beauty either, I felt really uncomfortable with it. It was just weird...oh well, just coz I'm a radio-tv-film student, it doesn't mean I have to understand everything that's implied in movies, right?

"i don't suffer from insanity...i enjoy every minute of it"

not to mention that Leonardo DiCaprio is ugly.

that's right i said it. and no, it's not because i'm a lesbian it's because of his face, thank you very much.

Totally agree on There's Something About Mary...I've caught bits of it on TV before and can't stand it.

And now, to be more daring: I hated both Casablanca and Fight Club.

*ducks and runs*

Give me but a firm place to stand and I shall move the world.

I agree with many of the films on the above list but I also have a few additional ones to mention:

The Hours - mindless piece of dribble, the only film I have ever paid to go and see at the movies and fallen asleep watching halfway through, I hated the fact that Nicole  Kidman won an oscar for her nose and I can't stand Meryl Streep in anything (so you can add anything 'good' that Meryl Streep has been in to my list!)

Little Miss Sunshine - supposedly the big comedy hit of last year, I wasn't laughing until the last 5 minutes and that wasnt enough to save the movie.

And a bunch of others I can't stand, A Beautiful Mind (not even saved by Jennifer Connelly), American Beauty, Unforgiven (yes, I know it was supposed to reinvent the Western but I liked 'em fine before), Crash (lots of big names, lots of boredom)

The list would go on but I very firmly believe that movies are an exceptionally subjective medium, for example, I love LOTR and Star Wars which some people don't (and I understand because my girlfriend hates them too!), some of my favourite movies of all time are so called 'bad movies' - eg Resident Evil Trilogy, DEBS etc but I don't care that they got panned by critics because I love them.

i loved fight club! its my favorite movie next to finding nemo and trainspotting.

 as for movies i dont like, the wizard of oz is the only film i've ever seen that can put me to sleep in ten minutes. something about that film just bores the crap out of me.

I can't stand this talentless guy! every one of his movies, including the Oscar winnes, make me CRING. Same goes for Kevin Costner. bahhhh.

Hate "Titanic". And Celine Dion. Not sure which one I hate more.

Hate "Heavenly Creatures" - had enough with the "crazy lesbians", you know? same goes for "Monster".

 

Have to agree with those who mentioned The Hours (couldn't make it to the end...too bored), and Ray (crashingly dull. The great musician's life certainly had to be more interesting than that flick). There was a movie out a few years back called Happiness which garnered some great reviews, and was one of the worst pieces of crap I've ever seen.

Ms. Snarker, must disagree with you on Ghost. I love that movie, largely because it's a very rare bird: a secular morality play. Its whole theme is good vs. evil and the strength to lead a moral life, yet it doesn't promote any religion. In fact, God is never even mentioned. It actually had the nerve to assert that religion and morality are two different things and can be mutually exclusive. For that reason, I don't think this movie could even be made today. With the current climate in this country, I'm sure the movie studio would insist some reference be made to God; they might even require Jesus to do a walk-on.

The Godfather: gratuitous violence and male bravado, no thanks.

All the Lord of the Rings: I just can't sit through them

All the Star Wars: see above (altho I did sit through Episode I at the theater cus my brother paid. At least I think it was Episode I ...)

Lesbian film I didn't like: Aimee and Jaguar. I thought the idea was great and it seemed really sweet, but for some reason I was lost half the time as to what exactly was going on.

Can't think if any others off the top.

But I must defend American Beauty!!! I love that film so much that I wrote not one, but two papers on it in college, lol.

Wedding Crashers - I thought that movie was boring as hell

Napolean Dynamite - I can't understand why people find movies like this funny

The Bone Collector - the ending was awful. I'm not going to spoil it but I didn't like how it ended at all. And Angelina Jolie and that god awful New York accent that lingered in and out during the movie. If you can't pull it off then don't bother!!!!

Being John Malkovich: Probably because everytime I tried to watch this I was totally smashed so I could never follow it.

Ten Things I Hate About You: I just didn't like it

Pretty Women: I'm not a big Julia Roberts fan

Then there were not so good movies that disturbed me

The day after tomorrow: yeah like someone can walk from Washington DC to NY in a day during a giant snow storm and just happen to land right on top of the library. And what was with the wolves? Totally unnecessary. The movie would have been way more interesting if instead of going out and getting the antibiotic they actually attempted to cut her leg off. Call me morbid

Lord of the Rings: I don't hate this movie, but everytime I watch it it gives me nightmares that thousands of people on horses are chasing me.

Blue Crush: The clips of the waves crashing makes me scared of swimming

I could go on and on but what really annoys me are mvoies with giant plot holes.

 

 

Don't know if it qualifies as a good movie, but it made huge money. I liked the first Matrix movie a lot, but I walked out of the second one. The opening scene shows the main character Neo flying, then we get to watch an endless fight scene against hundreds of agents and all I could think was " Just fly away you a**hole!" And the whole old woman cryptic guidance crap was ridiculous. " You already know what you need to learn but you don't know what you wish to see...blah blah blah." Even David Carradine was grimacing somewhere.

There are quite a few; but for me it's more about the actor than the movie itlself.

Lost in Translation, Groundhog Day.. see a pattern here... Bill Murray annoys the crap out of me as does Dan Akroyd.

Will Farrell - grates on my nerves!

Ben Stiller - just wanna back a truck up over him repeatedly

Cameron Diaz (except for the Charlies Angels movies) an adult woman acting like a big kid in almost every movie is more than I can take.  I honest fail to see what the fuss about her is all about.

Blood Diamond - you couldn't pay me to sit through that ever again (and to be totally honest, the acting was so damn awful that i didn't really sit through it completely either).

Borat - there are no words really

Sliding Doors - Gwenyth Paltrow - pure crap.

Deja Vu - love Denzel, he's exceptionally talented and in a class all his own but that movie just plain out sucked and confused the hell out of me!

Hero - my goodness, if  (Jet Li) there was a movied that sucked!!! that was it.  I watched the entire movie (and tried to watch it again) because i really wanted to know what i just sat through for 1:40 minutes or so, but believe me if I watched it a thousand times, I would still not be able to give you a plot outline!

House of Flying Daggers (Ziyi Zhang) - heaven help me is all I can say to this movie, it's right up there with Hero.

Fearless (Jet Li) - oh my!

(Honestly when I started posting here, I only had like 4 or so movies to name but Ms. Snarker, it looks like u've opened up a can of worms cause there's so many that just flying out and still coming to mind as I type)

I've actually watched Ghost a few times but mainly for the whoopie goldberg parts (she was the only one who represented any interest in that movie - well... I must confess that I had a really hard crush on Demi (the woman's damn hot).

There's a Patrick Swayze movie that comes to mind but I can't remember the title - one where he saves a bar or something like that.

Footloose - my goodness! That was a retarded movie.

(shit, will i ever stop...... I so blame u Ms. Snarker for this)

I'm gonna stop now, not because I'm done, but because I'm darn well tired.  And I know I will be tempted to come back and edit so that I can add more but I will be too damn busy come tomorrow.  And here's where everyone goes "Thank God for small favors" and I don't blame you all one bit.  I do agree that I need to shut up and sit down.

Peace out!

And yet another.. P.S.  Deep Blue - Jessica Alba and that guy from The Fast and the Furious.

Wait.... The Avengers - (Uma Thurman) I love the series, but they should sue all who are responsible for making this movie. If ever an injustice was done to a series, this was it!

Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2 - Oh I really need to quit this.  But it seems I've been needed to gt this off my chest for a while.

FOREST GUMP!!!! - I can't even muster up words.... just note the bold, italics, underline and exclamation marks.

The Runaway Bride

Castaway
