Sorry, he just rubs me the wrong way.

Anything by the Farelli brother - so vulgar!

Also, no Spielberg for me either. Every time it's a major dissapointment, or I get upset over the distortion of history (and morals) like with Munich.

I've never seen Moulin Rouge because I found out from a jerk friend that Nicole Kidmam dies at the end.

I really don't like seeing movies from books that I had read.

-Nathiest
live for lust die for love

300 is an amazing visual film, though. Seriously :p Yes it's just fighting and blood and dieing, but it looks stunning...lol

And Event Horizon is meant to be a horror film. A horror set in space. A bit like Aliens but less good...lol

As for films I can't watch...it has to be Poltergiest. I'm a fan of horror on the whole, but as a kid that one scared the living hell outta me, with the doll under the bed especially. I cannot sit down and watch it to this day. Freaks me out just thinking about it.

I've also avoided films with Kevin Costner in them 'cause there's something about the guy that just creeps me out. I did watch Mr Brooks however and thought he was kinda perfect for that. Creepy and weird.

Films that will need me to bring along a sick bucket. Like Love Actually. Avoid those like the plague. I can watch sweet and mushy, but not sickly sweet and wanna tear your eyeballs out kinda mush.

 

I hate bloody-gore-torture-movies like Saw, and Hostel. I'm pretty sensitive, so I really don't want to see people getting chopped up and die.

First of all to the girl who hasn't watched Moulin Rouge: Nicole Kidman dies in the last 5 minutes...you are SERIOUSLY depriving yourself of one of the greatest motion pictures of our time by not watching it because of that...and ps...you know that she dies from the VERY beginning when Christian says "The woman I loved is, dead." Rent it...believe me it's worth it.

And Dylan: you're knocking Love, Actually! I'm appalled! Haha you're right though it's not for everyone...but frig I can't help but love that movie.

Enough anal movie freak comments haha...

Apollo it's funny that you mention Sunshine...my girlfriend and I watched that last week, in the same week we watched the old 1960s version of The Time Machine...and maybe it was seeing the two combined in one week, but I found the sense of foreboding and sheer pessimism within both films really hard to take. I totally agree with you that Sunshine just became a grossly overdone horror film by the end.

Also...if you don't like films that are sad...STAY AWAY from P.S. I love you...it was a great film (suprised me actually)...BUT it is highly, highly sad and depressing to watch. You come out of the theatre just needing a hug.

The one film I REFUSE to watch? The Hills Have Eyes. My girlfriend (who works at a video store so she often brings home questionable films)...tried to get me to watch it one night a few years ago...and she fell asleep while we were watching it. I think I lasted about five minutes into the people getting raped and murdered and I knew I'd had enough. Totally nonsensical, useless violence...not to mention a just plain HORRIBLE set of films.

I also love 300...it was cinematically beautiful, and despite all the violence...I would watch it over and over just for the scenes with Lena Heady in the wheat fields. Makes you wish you were a Spartan...

I refuse to watch any type of historic movie like Braveheart. These kind of movies always bore the hell out of me.

I also really cannot stand so-called chick flicks. Or silly stupid comedies.

Another movie I would never ever watch: Mary Poppins.

I actually don't mind watching movies I know the ending off. Moreover, I heart bad endings. To me there's nothing more boring than one of those they live happily ever after endings.

The very first time i saw this movie was at a friends birthday party when i was 5. The chamber of heads freaked me out so much i have never been able to bring myself to watch it again. I've never watched the Wizard of Oz either because of it. Also the neverending story and all followups. No idea what freaked me out about these as a kid, but i hated them then and i'm not one to question my childhood gut instincts ;)

 

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

My ex wanted to see Brokeback Mountain. I refused. I could tell it was a movie that had two people fall in love. One can't handle being gay and goes back to living a lie so "the world won't hate Me". The other one either leaves town or gets killed. Am I right?

I hate movies that tries to gross me out. I like suspense not gore.

I hate violence, basically. I won't watch any war movies because firstly it involves people dying and horrid amounts of blood, and secondly I'm one of those anti-war fanatics - settle the dispute with words and cookies, people! But honestly, war is just ridiculous and pointless, and more innocent people die than is necessary. I won't go ranting about that here or I'll be online all night. No gore, no violence. saw? ugh. torture porn is repulsive. I do like action, I just don't like blood and war.

And I refuse to watch horror because basically I'm a pussy....cat. even the trailers for horror movies scare the bejeezus out of me, and I don't need any more help in that department.

But I will say that I've tried to watch Titanic twice, and about ten minutes in I got so bored that I stop. I love mushy-richard-curtis-type films as the next person (or maybe the next next person, going by the comments so far), but Titanic is unbelievably mind-numbingly boring.

I tend to avoid horror movies, I just don't see the point. Most everyone gets hacked and slashed or dies in some other form of gruesome death until at the end someone grows a brain and kills whatever it is that's causing said deaths.

That said, there's no movie that I will absolutely never-ever watch, simply because I can only definitely say that a movie isn't worth my time after I've already wasted my time watching it to determine that.

And people say life has no sense of humour... :P

Nothing quite like the Tango in Moulin Rouge, god I wish I could dance, I just find that dance so hmmmmmm 

...I won't watch Tom Cruise, sometimes Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson.

Of the genre categories, I won't watch horror, blood and excessive violence, some science fiction, and some musicals.

Turn off before the bit with the child catcher! eek!

...is a big no no! My room mate is addicted to them so it is a real bone of contention between us. How anyone can sit from the beginning the end of something like Legally Blonde or Ella Enchanted without medicating beforehand or slitting their wrists after is beyond me.

I refuse to watch anything with Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler - they are not funny period.

I'm not averse to horror or thrillers as long as they have a good plot and are not just blood fests like Saw or Hostel. I love Japanese horror. The original Ring series, The Eye, Audition etc... are all great in their own way. I do wish people would stop remaking them though as it ruins them (it's made worse when they put Sarah Michelle Gellar in them).

Musicals I tend to make up my mind on an individual basis. I am terrified to go and see Sweeney Todd as the thought of all the singing makes my skin crawl. I like Chicago though.

I'm a fickle beast. Sometimes it isn't the genre at all but the actors in it that make me refuse to watch. You know you are not enjoying a movie when you really want a character dead before they've even been introduced. ;o)

I don't care if it's the greatest movie ever made, I cannot and will not watch a movie (or tv show) if there's even a hint of violence against animals in it. I can take all the violence against adults you wanna throw at me, blood, guts, awful torture scenes, hell I can even watch that kind of thing involving kids, but I just can't handle the mistreatment of animals. Or old people. I don't know what that is.

I also really don't like watching disaster flicks. Earthquake in New York types. They're too predictable, stupid and all the frantic running around leaves me anxious. Blah.

Oh, and the teen torture porn that's been the trend lately, I see no point in those movies and I refuse to watch them.

I hate any horror movie, I just cannot watch them. It causes some trouble as my gf loves them (I had to buy her the hammer house box set for xmas) and I just go ewww at the site of them.

 

I have to say I also hate Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I refuse to watch it, it annoys me.

 

Gladiator WAS on one night last week. I was told if I didnt pick a movie or episode of television on dvd to watch (one that wouldnt make her scream 'noooooooo') in the next 10 seconds she was going to watch it.  That was when I stalked to the bedroom and pouted until she agreed to turn it off :)

My girlfriend and I are alike in almost every way except movie tastes.. I like The Devil Wears Prada and she likes Die Hard.  I like Dramas... and she likes Horror. I like Reese Witherspoon, she likes Arnold Schwarzenegger.

ALTHOUGH I've been secretly filling the netflix que with the likes of "Suburban Girl" and "The Nanny Diaries" when she isnt looking. mauhahaha.

"Bad juju? Is that a voodoo-thing?"

I hate Top Gun, I don't hate it because Tom Cruise is in it. I hate it because my cousin made me watch it about 20 times while I was visiting for the summer.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Lord of the Rings and got bored, Ground-hog day is a 20 minute movie repeated several times and you know the outcome after the first "part".

I'm not a fan of the blood and gore, or monster movies (That's not stopping me from seeing Cloverfield though).

The one type, not so much type but anyways, the one type of movie I can't stand, are french-dubbed english movies. they aren't good.

I fall solidly on the the no 'Hostel', or 'Saw' type movies. Ugh. Let's bring out that Faces of Death crap from the 80s while we're at it. What the freak is/was wrong with those people??!! Jeez. Anyway, I think it's more that I also refuse to turn over my money for that genre. I want to be transported to a 'relatively' happy place for my 8 bucks and popcorn.

My biggest 'button', though anything that use the old 'kill the pet' plot device. It's just so bloody obviously manipulative. I wanted to like the show Damages..but they lost me right away with that plot device. And the whole time I was sitting there saying to my girlfriend.. 'They keep showing the dogs..something is going to happen to somebody's dog, I'm tellin ya.' So...otherwise great show...can't watch.

Hm, lol. perhaps this indicates a disconnect on my part I should consult therapist about, considering I don't get as riled up about the PEOPLE that get offed... ? Hm. But I would pretty much end up in jail if I could get my hands on anybody who hurt my pets deliberately. Seriously.

Oh, and Johnny Depp. I wouldn't say I AVOID him, but my girlfriend will watch him in anything. And...eh. I'm not sure he can entice me to watch him sing in a movie about human meat pies.

And in line with the opening blog...I had absolutely NO desire to see Titanic. And other than incessant "Iceberg right ahead!", and "I'm King of the World" clips on TV is as close as I'll ever get I hope...

And I hate to admit, but I really don't care for foreign language films too often, at least not IN a theatre. If it's on DVD and I can pause at least. And I prefer the more... happy/quirky versus foreign films, not the morbid, sad, everyone dies in the end type that my girlfriend picks out!

there's no movies that i absolutely won't watch (except for horror movies. ugh.) but there's a lot that i just avoid.

 

i can't watch k-pax. kevin spacey is a brilliant actor, but the movie just makes me weep.

also can't watch the dubbed version of pinocchio. just can't stand dubbed movies. drives me crazy. can't watch anything with violence towards animals and kids. just cannot watch it. or sappy chick flicks. ugh.

Anythign with Will Ferril...I hate him...don't think he's funny.

 

And Horror movies...I've never liked them.

 

"Nothing is impossible and there is no such thing as a lost cause"

I cannot watch th end of that movie. I remember seeing it in the theater and I was so angry at the end that I swore I would never watch the ending again. And to this day, I stop the movie while Meg Ryan is riding her bike.

My gf loves that movie and has made me sit through it at least 4 or 5 times (it keeps repeating on tv!). I'm not into sci-fi/fantasy/werewolves/vampires kinda stuff. I did it for love.

 

Ok, ok, ok, and Kate Beckinsdale made it palatable. hmmm... :)

 

Loving Annabelle. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. But I always turn it off after the love scene. I can't stand the ending; I mean, it's realistic, but I hate it when the characters don't end up together.

This movie bothers me on so many levels..Drapes into clothes I get it , Carol Burnett did it funnier...Plus You couldn't make the kid some pants? Then You run off into the Alps and the kid is wearing shorts?AArrggghhh I wanted to tell the Nazis where they were..

I can't stand horror movies. I don't know what it is, but even the dumb ones make me want to crawl under a blanket until the monsters in my closet are gone! The commercials for that new movie coming out, Last Call or whatever, freaked me out to the point where I jump every time my cellphone rings, haha. I also don't really like violent stuff. I like action, but not excessive and pointless violence for the sake of it...weirds me out. I feel icky after i even see commercials for movies like Saw

Actually, I'm really picky with movies...I could watch anything (except the above) and be fairly content but it's very rare I feel the need to ever put myself through a movie twice by buying it. Part of it is having a really goofy sense of humor though...I laughed and laughed the first time I saw the Cloverfield commercial for reasons I'm still not sure of

I also refuse to see most movies that are based off of books...those poor authors. Oh, and I won't see the Beowulf movie (when a friend suggested completely forgetting the original Beowulf stories in order to enjoy it more, I figured it probably wasn't for me).

This is also my first post...haha. I think in every community I've been in, I've complained in my first post...oops?

 

"This is a tree on fire with love, but it's still scary since most people think love only looks like one thing instead of the whole world."

I can't watch Tom Cruise movies, except Legend.

Can't watch kevin Costner.

Can't get me to watch their movies ('cept for maybe mr. & mrs. smith)

Oh, and Leo DiCaprio - can't stand him...

 

Almost forgot: Dance Movies - no thanks! (thouh I used to love Save The Last Dance...)

I avoid horror movies at all costs cause I scare easily.Also, too much blood on screen makes me want to vomit. I do say I have to disagree about Brokeback Mountain. I thought it was realistic, has romantic moments and I know it's sad but to be honest not many people end up with the person they really love. It's sad but true. But I also do tend to avoid sad endings but there are a few movies where I can stand it...not with dry eyes but I can stand it. I also refuse to see the notebook because I know it's really sad at the end and I don't think I can take it
