Challenge: List the Top 5 Movies that EVERYONE Loved...Except YOU!

[Derek V]

I can repost in the movie group if I have to, but I wanted the extra input that the Lounge affords. Spoilers and Foul Language Ahead.

I've got my list ready to go. (Hell, I had to leave a couple off.)

5: A Christmas Story. Never saw it in the theater, but an ex of mine insisted that I rent and watch it. I left the room after about 50 minutes. BORING!

4: The Blair Witch Project. There is NOTHING scary in this movie! Nothing!

3: Paranormal Activity. Okay, the final 46 seconds were scary. That is, if you stayed awake that long! (Addendum: Ladies, I get the paradigm in horror movies. You are clued in very early on, while we are totally dumbassed, often until it's too late. I accept that. But Micah Sloat was THE stupidest motherfucking IDIOT I've ever seen! I wanted to start a men's rights group just to protest that character!)


2. When Harry Met Sally. (Also my #1 Overrated Movie of All Time.) The gal I was dating at the time (not the ex mentioned above) and I both agreed that it was a routine, formulaic Boy Meets Girl Falls In Love With Girl Loses Girl But Gets Girl Back At The End snoozefest.

Warning: Allcaps Ahead:

1. The Usual Suspects. (Also my #2 Most Overrated Movie of All Time.) WHAT. THE FUCK?!? WE LEARN EARLY ON THAT KEYSER SOZE IS ONE OF THE GUYS AT THE HEIST. AND KEVIN SPACEY'S CHARACTER WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THEM WHO SURVIVED SAID HEIST!!! IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WAS THE REAL VILLAIN OF THE PIECE ALMOST FROM THE GET-GO! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!

[sakabatou]

1. Titanic

That's all I can think of right now.

[Derek V]

18. Hey, post 'em when you think of 'em! The more the better!

And your choice of Titanic is probably a great one! I say "probably" because I didn't see the film and never had the slightest interest in doing so. A female friend (not a girlfriend) wanted me to go see it with her; I refused, saying (and I remember this verbatim because it's one of those rare moments in life where you have a perfect comeback line), "Rebecca, I hate to ruin it for you, but the damn ship sinks, okay?"

[HERVEPA]

29. Well, a lot of people thought it wasn't so great.

[CBGLuthier]

2. Avatar, Inception, The Big Lebowski, The Dark Knight, Home Alone.

Honorable mention for the Star Wars series which I kind of like (first two and the last one) but do not consider to be the greatest movies ever either stylistically or thematically.

[Derek V]

20. Haven't seen "The Big Lebowski"

But Avatar is a good selection. I did like Inception, though. As for The Dark Knight, no interest in seeing it, because (Ugly American Alert) Brits should not be playing Batman. Or Superman.

[arcane1]

102. I finally saw "The Big Lebowski" and it did not live up to the hype.

Especially after every single person who ever brought it up would look at me like I was a mental patient for not having seen it.

[Ron Obvious]

3. Paranormal activity

There's only one way to watch this movie, and that's late at night, all alone in an old house that creaks in the wind.

In the theatre, or in company it wouldn't be the slightest bit frightening, I imagine, but I watched it as indicated and thought it was incredible. The subtle horror of the girl just standing there staring at him for hours really creeped me out.

[JCMach1]

12. they are bad and BORING!!!

[pipi_k]

4. No particular order...

1. Titanic

2. Lord of the Rings

3. Blair Witch Project (like you, I didn't find it scary at all. I really really tried to make myself be scared, but...meh).


can't think of any more right now

[ailsagirl]

5. Titanic

The English Patient (so-o-ooo boring)
When Harry Met Sally (stupid)
Remains of the Day (BORING!!)

that's all for now

[Derek V]

31. Fun Fact

When Oliver Stone was trying to get Anthony Hopkins for Nixon (which I really liked), Dr. Lecter repeatedly refused. Stone finally goaded Hopkins by saying, "Fine! Go back to doing the boring English movies!" He later revealed in an interview that he had head Remains of the Day in mind when he issued that taunt.

[ailsagirl]

37. I believe it!

I must have aged ten years watching that film...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. Avatar.

[Xipe Totec]

9. I call it "Dances with Smurfs" nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. lol ... apt subtitle for realz.

[Derek V]

22. I call it "Dances With Wolves In Space"

[iscooterliberally]

27. I thought it was the remake of Ferngully. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

30. That thought also crossed my mind. nt

[hunter]

63. Yeah, the remake of Pocahontas wasn't any better.

[Codeine]

85. I so fucking hated that movie.

I remember arguing about it on DU for weeks.

[skypilot]

7. The Shawshank Redemption.

I didn't hate it or anything, just thought it was a standard-issue Hollywood adaptation of a Stephen King story. I watched it and immediately forgot about it. Over time I started to realize that there are a ton of people who think it's the BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Its rating on IMdB as the second best movie of all time (behind "The Godfather&quot still blows me away. In addition to "Shawshank" I also didn't care for:

The Big Lebowski--Boring and not funny. Guys kept telling me about the great dialogue (some of which they'd memorized and would recite enthusiastically) so I watched the movie and paid special attention to the dialogue. There wasn't one line of dialogue in the entire movie that grabbed me or that I thought was worth committing to memory and reciting to anyone.

The Dark Knight--Hated it. Just hated it.

The Usual Suspect--I'd just seen "Seven" not long before so I was kinda underwhelmed by the fact that, once again, Kevin Spacey turned out to be the guy everyone was looking for.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off--No further comment.

There's another movie that I'm sure I loathe but it won't come to me right now. Probably because I loathe it so much.

On edit: Now I remember what it is. The Shining. Not scary in the least. Not even for a second.

[Derek V]

23. Couldn't disagree with you more on "Shawshank"

But I couldn't agree with you more on The Shining, wherein Kubrick took King's best novel and crapped all over it. Sucked monkey balls!

[NightWatcher]

8. Those Lord of the Hobbit movies, arent there a dozen of them?

[Derek V]

24. "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" franchises

[GeorgeGist]

10. ET

[JCMach1]

11. The Princess Bride

Mildly amusing... nothing more...

[arcane1]

103. I still haven't seen that, or the Christmas movie n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Forrest Gump! Bleah! n/t

[Derek V]

25. Excellent Choice!

Grating, annoying crap!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

71. Thank you!!!

I always thought I was the only person in the world who hated that movie. And I won't eat at Bubba Gump's, either.

[Codeine]

86. Indeed. Almost anything with Tom Hanks, in fact.

Though I have a soft spot for Saving Private Ryan.

[olddots]

14. top gun

Most Cameron dreck shit only 5 ??

[Beaverhausen]

15. Pulp Fiction

really, that's it. I couldn't even make it though the whole thing. Stupid, pointless, needlessly violent.

I really don't like Tarantino.

[Derek V]

26. Most Overrated Director in Hollywood today

HATED that movie.

[Mnpaul]

65. I agree

I don't understand how this pile made it into the theaters.

[Quantess]

17. Interstellar

Too much weeping. Way too much crying. My butt hurt after 3 hours.

[mainer]

19. Moulin Rouge

I turned it off about 3/4 of the way through.

[skypilot]

38. You actually made it 3/4 of the way through that?!?!

I did about 20 minutes before I actually started to get angry.

[Aerows]

21. The Big Lebowski n/t

[iscooterliberally]

28. Any movie with Ronald Reagan in it.

Seriously, if only he had stuck to doing what he did best, which was making crappy movies.

[CBGLuthier]

32. I have to speak up for The Killers, his last movie.

Lee Marvin, Clu Gulager, Angie Dickinson, and John Cassavetes act rings around Reagan. Plus Reagan plays the bad guy and gets his before it is over. A second version of a Hemingway story that i actually kind of prefer to the classic Burt Lancaster version.
Otherwise the man was not in a single good film.

[iscooterliberally]

46. I'll have to check that one out.

Thanks for the heads up.

[distantearlywarning]

33. Silver Linings Playbook, The Matrix, It's A Wonderful Life, pretty much anything by Quentin Tarantin

Silver Linings Playbook - wow, did I ever HATE this movie! Every character in it was crazy, irrational, and totally unlikeable. Not only didn't I relate to this movie, I think I would have to shoot myself in the head to put myself out of my misery if I ever did start to feel like I related to this movie. It is beyond mystifying to me how this movie was so popular or how it won an Oscar. Is this seriously what America is like now? Never mind, I don't want to know. The answer will probably just depress me.

The Matrix - boring as hell. I've started to watch it several times and could never finish it. Also, I can't take Keanu seriously after watching him in Bill & Ted (which is an ACTUAL awesome movie).

It's A Wonderful Life - terrible moral and ending. The bad guy (played by Dick Cheney) gets away with it all! This movie makes me want to riot and set things on fire to restore justice, not celebrate the peace and joy of Christmas.

Quentin Tarantino - totally overrated and pretentious. I liked the vampire movie, though. All the rest of his work is utter crap.

[Sherman A1]

42. Agree with you on Taratino

I cannot stand his films.

[CTyankee]

45. I hated Silver Linings Playbook, too! I kept wondering "What the hell?"

Long, boring, stupid, pretentious.

[Codeine]

87. I liked the first Matrix film.

It all went to shit after that though.

[Archae]

34. Rocky.

ANY of those fucking "Rocky" movies.

What pissed me off the most about it was it won the Best Picture Oscar that year, beating "Network!"

[baldguy]

84. +1000

I just never saw the point of those movies.

[Art_from_Ark]

35. I can't name 5 off the bat, but

"Last Tango in Paris" was pretty lame, I thought.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

36. I agree with 4 of your 5

I liked Blair Witch. I loved the early description of the witch as a woman with horse hair all over her body. It was very atmospheric in my opinion and always kept me wrapped in an atmosphere of foreboding, especially the scenes where the people were in their tent at night and we heard faint voices coming out of the woods. I thought the writers did a good job in creating suspense. The fact there was no cgi and we never see the witch were pluses. I've always preferred atmospheric horror films to ones where the horror is out in the open.

[Generic Brad]

39. 1. Star Wars

2. The Return of the Jedi
3. Star Wars Episode 1
4. Star Wars Episode 2
5. Star Wars Episode 3

I enjoyed The Empire Strikes Back. The rest of them - their sucktitude knows no bounds.

[Derek V]

43. Couldn't agree with you more on the prequels: Crap!

I also agree that Empire was the best of the franchise thus far. But I also loved the original and ROTJ.

[chrisa]

40. 5 Movies that I hated / Everyone loves

5. Forest Gump - This movie is an absolute saccharine bomb. It's also drawn out and extremely boring.

4. Back to the Future - Another completely cheesy movie that I hate. Everything about it is annoying.

3. Kill Bill - So overrated. I hate Tarantino's style (drawn out dialog, action cheese), and it's way overused in this movie. Way too pretentious.

2. The Orphan - This supposed movie that's "So Scary!" was a generic horror movie with more cliches than can be counted. They even did that stupid thing where a cat jumps out in an attempt to scare the audience. Overall, this movie was just stupid.

1. Ted - Seth MacFarlane's movies are pretty abysmal. This one is unwatchably bad. MacFarlane's humor is the equivalent of a loud, obnoxious drunk yelling insults in your face.

[Derek V]

44. Actually, I really liked "Orphan"

Even though I agree with you that it was cliched and formukaic, up to and including the Male Stupidity Syndrome I mentioned in my op.

[tavernier]

95. Thank you

I'd forgotten Ted. Made my skin crawl.

[Initech]

41. Here's my top 5 in this category:

5. Frozen - they lost me after the princess wanted to marry a guy in the first five minutes.

4. Gravity - As Neil DeGrasse Tyson said "Why is anybody impressed with a zero G film 45 years after 2001 A Space Odyssey?"

3. The Tim Burton Batman films - OK I get that Jack Nicholson's Joker is closer to the source material than Heath Ledger's was, but you can't deny how cheesy and awful these movies seem after how brilliant the Dark Knight trilogy is. Even the Dark Knight Rises, with all its' flaws, is better than the best Tim Burton Batman film. And don't get me started on how horrid Batman & Robin is.

2. National Treasure - It's Nicholas Cage at his most Nicholas Cagey-ist. And that's bad.

1. Cast Away - I normally like about 90% of Tom Hanks' films but I just could not get into this one.

[CTyankee]

47. Gravity made my head hurt...and it was just unbelievable.

[Initech]

48. Everything wrong with Gravity - with special guest narrator Neil DeGrasse Tyson

"Mysteries of Gravity: why is George Clooney, an astronaut, explaining to Sandra Bullock, a medical doctor, what happens medically during oxygen deprivation?"

[CTyankee]

52. OK, OK, I just wanted to see George Clooney, all right? Please...

Can I just look at him on the screen, OK? Is that so BAD?

gimme a break, OK?

[murielm99]

55. I thought he looked wrong in that.

He looked like Buzz Lightyear. It made me laugh.

[CTyankee]

57. Sine I would probably pay to see him read the proverbial phone book, I know I'm a bit silly.

He does that thing where the shot is of him from the rear and he turns with a little smile to look at the camera. I fall for it every time. I'm hopeless...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

49. Not a fan of Gravity either, despite all the Oscar nominations.

And 'm usually a big fan of these kinds of movies.

[Derek V]

50. I just like watching the page flipping

Not from the wind (because there's no air), but because the kinetic energy of the debris lingers in the remains of the Shuttle.

[Ino]

51. Bambi, ET, War Horse, Lincoln, CCoBenjaminButton

Bambi & ET -- I resent being manipulated into tears.

War Horse -- I found so much objectionable about this movie, I just don't know where to begin! The "lovable" drunkard spending all the family's resources on a thoroughbred instead of a plow horse. The poor horse being brought to its knees trying to do a task it's unsuited for. The horror the horses endured in the war. Someone threatened to shoot the horse... what, on five different occasions? If the boy had REALLY loved the horse, he would have let him stay with the old man or given him to a lady who'd ride him around the park. But nooooo.... he takes this thoroughbred home, ostensibly to plow more fields with its delicate legs. Ain't love grand?

Lincoln -- I was bored from the very first scene.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button -- It seemed like there was meant to be a moral to that story, but I can't figure it out. Enjoy your old age, because you may become young? Youth is wasted on the old? Interminable. Pointless.

[sarge43]

53. 2001, Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life

How do I hate thee, let me count the ways.

[hopemountain]

54. avatar, anything with james bond in the title, or

quentin tarantino as a producer. but, i have to say avatar - the most hyped & the phoniest ripoff, weak scripted movie - ever.

[murielm99]

56. I have to go back a bit.

Tootsie. Very overrated.

There are more. Let me think about it.

[Sweet Freedom]

58. Five I can think of

Pretty Woman. Ugh.

Cast Away. I wanted him to die just so the movie would end.

Full Metal Jacket.

Dead Poet's Society.

Batman.

[steve2470]

59. mine

Scary Movie 3
ANY horror movie

That's 5

[hunter]

60. The Big Chill.

To me it was a horror film. It still is.



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085244

My favorite character was the dead guy.

I was sitting there sweating and squirming and thinking if I was doomed to become any of those people, just kill me now.

I don't much remember the woman I saw it with, other than that she enjoyed it and wanted to talk about it afterwards as serious cinema and I couldn't.

I had a much longer and much more intense relationship with a woman who thought Eraserhead and Das Boot would be good "date movies" while she was using me to prove to herself and her family she wasn't a Lesbian. We enjoyed a literally bloody breakup; I jumped out of her moving car one night and went for a long rolling slide down the asphalt, but this was still less painful than sitting in that theater watching The Big Chill in the company of someone who wasn't gagging on it.

Except for certain surrealistic foreign language comedies I enjoy, my wife and I generally have similar tastes in films. Our kids mock us for our avoidance of serious drama, violence, horror, and other unpleasant cinema in favor of frivolous romantic comedies, science fiction, and action-adventure stuff. It may be because we've both experienced plenty enough drama and horror in real life.

My wife and my sister (but no longer myself) work in professions of life and death and blood and guts reality. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[AtomicKitten]

62. the dead guy was Kevin Costner - they cut his role

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

72. That was Costner's best role IMHO n/t

[AtomicKitten]

74. He was surprisingly good in A Perfect World.

[Ilsa]

90. I didn't like The Big Chill either.

It just kept getting more moronic, especially the "get her pregnant" story. Blech.

[AtomicKitten]

61. whoa ... The Usual Suspects????

I loved it. Critics loved it. Won an Oscar for best screenplay. It's an exquisitely woven story.

Okay. Point taken. I hated Avatar.

[BlueJazz]

64. The Bleak Witch Project

1.They're scared and alone in the woods...at night
2. They also think that somebody might invade their tent.
3. They all go to sleep
4. I was in my car in 4 minutes.

[tanyev]

66. *flame suit on* Casablanca

I just don't buy the love story between Bogart and Bergman. The other parts of the movie are pretty good.

[Derek V]

68. My testicles Shrivel in Salute to your Courage

Personally, I liked Casablanca. Didn't love it, not among my top 10 faves, but I thought it was pretty good. ON THE OTHER HAND,

I was at a party 7-8 years ago, and someone brought up the subject of movies, so you know I was going in!

I mentioned the fact that, when I finally got around to watching Citizen Kane, I found it to be somewhat underwhelming. Based on the reactions of the other guests, I went to bed that night convinced that FBI agents would be at my door first thing in the morning in take me into custody.

Thus, I bow to your bravery!

[Nedsdag]

67. Here's my Top Five:

5. Love, Actually















4. American Beauty
3. American Beauty
2. American Beauty
1. American Beauty

[LeftInTX]

69. Thelma and Louise, any of the Star Wars

Planet of the Apes
2001 A Space Odyssey
The Conversation
M*A*S*H
A Clockwork Orange

I agree I couldn't stomach The Usual Suspects. Too much dialog for me. I'm not a fan of dialog based movies. Reminded me of Glengarry Glen Ross.

[chrisa]

97. The Wahlberg Planet of the Apes was beyond stupid.

I like Mark Wahlberg as an actor, but this movie can only be described as a POS. I prefer the original, and I wasn't even born yet when it was made.

[begin_within]

70. The Big Lebowski

I know that 99% of the people on DU worship that movie, and quote from it, but I could not make it through it all the way to the end. Biggest disappointment in a movie that I can remember.

[IrishEyes]

73. Here are five that I hated.

1. Titanic
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. Avatar
4. Shakespeare in Love
5. Top Gun

I could name a few more but that is five of the movies I hated that everyone loved.

[Derek V]

75. Hey, post more if you want! :-)

If you look throughout the thread, you'll see numerous replies which name less than 5 films, so why shouldn't you list some more to balance things out?

[IrishEyes]

76. Okay

I really didn't like

1. Bridget Jones Diary
2. ET
3. Grease
4. Inception
5. District 9
6. Chicago

There are some movies on other people's lists that I loved. Some of the movies I hated you might love. That is cool. To each his own.

Someone should post about hate TV shows.

[Lolita46]

77. The Bridges Of Madison County.

Supposed to be the ultimate chick flick. Well, this chick didn't like the flick!

Agree with you on Harry meeting Sally, but I would also add Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail. Not a big Meg Ryan fan.

Can't think of a 5th one right now. Sorry.

[Derek V]

80. Feel free to add more if they come to you

And like I said to Irish Eyes above, it can be more than just one.

[davidpdx]

78. My list, in no particular order...

The Hours
Casino
Fargo

[Derek V]

82. Didn't see "The Hours"

But you nailed it with Fargo. I actually lozt a bit of respect for Roger Ebert on that one.

[davidpdx]

83. Don't see that one unless you seriously want to feel suicidal after watching it

I respect the actors who were in the film, but the story itself was horrid.

[Derek V]

88. Too late

I saw Fargo with the same friend who wanting me to go see Titanic. It didn't make me suicidal, but convinced me to stay away from North Dakota in the winter.

[davidpdx]

92. I meant The Hours

[Derek V]

93. Oops!

[GreatGazoo]

79. 5. Forrest Gump 4 Lord of the Rings 1 3. Avatar 2. Star Wars Phantom Menace

1. Out of Africa

[Wolf Frankula]

81. 1: Gone With the Wind

Scarlett O'Hara was a self absorbed, empty headed shit. When Clark Gable said he didn't give a damn, I said 'I never did, why did you?'

2: The junnery twins, Little Big Nose and Plays With Camera. Aka Little Big Man and Dances with Wolves. In the first, every character is a cliche even the horses. My girl friend and I left the theater when the movie implied rape is funny. I fell asleep in the second watching Kevin Cost play with himself.

3: Any Elvis movie after Jailhouse Rock. Elvis plays Elvis, he sings, gets in a clumsy fist fight and gets the girl. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

4,5: Surviving and 'Night Mother. Ain't Teen Suicide Romantic? I'm glad Heathers put a stop to the whole trend.

Wolf

[Xipe Totec]

99. Scarlett O'Hara was a self absorbed, empty headed shit. True

That was the role she was playing.

I thought she did a great job portraying a self absorbed, empty headed shit.

Clark Gable too did a great job for the same reason.

[Codeine]

89. The Excorcist.

What a pantload. I saw it when it went through a rerelease about a decade ago -- utter bollocks.

[JonLP24]

91. Citizen Kane

I don't know if this counts but The Artist & Les Miserables (always several copies unchecked-out at my library)

A lot of these great books would make great movies if they weren't musicals, I never saw a musical that practically sung every line such as Les Miserables.

[tavernier]

94. Pulp Fiction

Scar face
Good Fellas
Top Gun
And the Eddy Murphy movie where he played a cop in Beverly Hills but was severely hampered by his lack of communication skills, since the only word in his entire vocabulary was "Fuck".
Oh, and The English Patient. What the hell???

[OrwellwasRight]

96. I have many.

I'll try to narrow it down:

5. Stakeout (Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez): I saw it with two college girlfriends. We walked out after about 30-40 minutes, primarily because of the sexist jokes & sexism. The movie was so popular, they made a sequel. Never understood it.

4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off: My girlfriend and I (one of the same one from the movie above) debated walking out but decided to stay. Still, it never has lived up to its popularity. I confess to loving the "Bueller, Bueller, VooDoo Economics" scene, but much of the rest of it was so dumb. The unrealistically over zealous principal, the unpopular sister who in all reality would be happy to benefit from her brother's popularity instead of scorn it, the absolutely over the top parade scene, etc.

3. Batman (All of them from 1988 to 1997): Hated them, thought they were stupid. Thought Jack Nicholson was decidedly not a genius as the Joker, just way to over the top. Kim Basinger--never liked her acting. Mr. Mom as an action hero? Never bought it. Distinctly remember being dragged to one of the sequels by my boyfriend one evening, falling asleep because the move was so lame, and then getting yelled at because I didn't even try to like it. Yes, it was one of those relationships. Anyway, I was clearly in the minority for not seeing the genius of these shitty movies, though now everyone seems to pretend they "never" liked them because the Heath Ledger versions are so superior. Whatevs. Look at the millions those movies took in to see that many have changed their judgment as time has gone on. And I recall being in a distinct minority at the time.

2. Bridges of Madison County (you could substitute a number of Clint Eastwood films here--I often fail to see his genius--but this one will suffice): The movie was slow, boring, and I hated that its heroine really screwed over her husband, who seemed like a decent guy. My boyfriend and I argued (yes the same boyfriend as above) about whether it glorified infidelity. Anyway, he again argued that the movie's popularity proved me wrong.

1. The Thin Red Line: Oscar nominations galore, and yet another one we had to walk out of (different group of friends than with any of the other movies). So many problems: actors who looked too similar to distinguish so that the weird jumpy plot was hard to follow; an interminable length (I know because we waited far too long to walk out); too many battle scenes that appeared to be the climax, but weren't; and finally boring -- largely because of the other three problems just listed. My theory is that everyone liked it to show how artsy they were, but that most people secretly agreed with me that it sucked.

[gagarux]

98. Insomnia Killers

1. Citizen Kane
2. Citizen Kane
3. Citizen Kane
4. Avatar
5. Silver Linings Playbook

[LoveMyCali]

100. Am I the only one who

Absolutely loathed Napolean Dynamite?

I just don't get the appeal of that movie.

[Coventina]

101. Citizen Kane, War of the Roses, Heat (the de Niro movie), Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,

Wizard of Oz.

Walked out on two of them due to material that I found over-the-top offensive.
One traumatized me as a child.
One bored me to tears.
One is a hugely overrated crappy version of a wonderful book.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

104. Lost in Translation, Inception, Titanic, Pulp Fiction and...

hmm, lemme think about a fifth. Probably The Departed... I *hated* that movie.

[llmart]

105. What?????

I love Christmas Story, but I think you had to grow up in that era and in Cleveland (or maybe Indiana) to really relate to it.

I hated Les Miz - all the singing seemed goofy to me.

Hated Pulp Fiction. Can't think of others right now, except for most war movies that try to glorify war creep me out.

[olddots]

106. Saturday Night Fever

The Sound of Muzak and once again Top Gun and rhe orher shit fest about NASCAR with Tom Culty
