There are actually a fair number of them that I'm not fond of (and some have already been mentioned), but the one that really stands out...

The Princess Bride. I really do not understand why people like this movie. It has potential, I suppose - if it weren't trying so incredibly hard to be funny, and if didn't keep laughing at its own jokes, it might be funny. As it is, it's just painful.

I also generally dislike moves made from books, and I'm very picky about comedy movies. Honestly, I'm picky about movies in general.

[Busomjack]

Yeah, I'm really picky about comedy movies too. I think about the only comedy movie I have seen in the past decade that I thought was funny was Harold and Kumar go to white castle.



Only comedy movie I love is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Avatar was trash, the second Transformers was trash, almost all of Adam Sandler's movies are trash spare Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and Anger Management, Taken was overrated (cmon! Poor bite off of Man on Fire!)



Right now what comes to mind is the Colbert Report episode where Stephen claims that movies have degraded into "0rgies of computer-animated destruction p0rno." I couldn't help but agree.

[Crippledcarny]

Pretty much everything with Jack Black or Will Ferrell in it. Also Avatar.

Saw was a laughably stupid movie that took itself way too seriously. I would have forgotten about it long ago if they hadn't gone and made twenty-odd sequels.

"Space Odyssey 2001-Visually the movie is great, even by today's standards. But as a piece of entertainment it is slow, and boring. Too much of the movie is spent just looking at things floating around. The movie is a good work of art but it's pace and narrative is incredibly tedious."



Agreed, 2010 was a suprisingly good sequel though if you ask me. A good build on the base story and with some fine acting and some real tension.

Avatar, it doesn't even deserve to be called that. It will now be refered to as Futuristic Pocahontas!

I also hate Twilight, I fail to see how it got such a following (oh wait horny girls + Guys without shirts, I see now)

The Wicker Man (I now hate any movie with Nicolas Cage because of this movie)

these


but i dont think many liked The Wicker Man

[BTG_01]

The Nicolas Cage version of The Wicker Man was panned by the critics and bombed at the box office. The only people I know of who like it are those who try to watch it as a comedy.

Well "The Spirit" was simply atrocious

Virtually any romantic comedy ever made. Fully 99% of them are utterly unwatchable formulaic manipulative crap. I would rather gouge out my eyes with a carrot peeler than pay good money to see that bilge in a theater.

I would like to this that I would rather try to fight an entire pride of lions then watch a dumb ass romcom.

I will fight alongside you.  With a carrot peeler.

For myself, it depends on the romcom or chic flic. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Steel Magnolias and Pretty Woman, but still have not taken the leep into the abyss known as Beaches.

Citizen Kane is not my fave flic; will tend to always be the 'first to do....' kind of film much like Shane. While it may be cool trivia to consider that CK may have been the first film to offer indoor ceilings, this does not define entertainment.

I also agree with 2001, and that 2010 was superior storytelling.

Princess Bride has always been a fave, and still improved once I added subtitles for Andre the Giant. And her highness may be back on the market, guys!

BTW - It Happened One Night is a must see for those that usually hate romcoms; what they should aspire to be, IMO.

Star Wars, all of it



I don't see anything special in those, except the terrible muppets

OK if you don't have anything else to do/watch, but camping in front of cinemas...

[CroGamer002]

Transformers and Avatar.




Also for OP I agree.



I didn't like Godfather 2 and 3 since I wanted for every character in those movie to die. Success?

Also in Godfather 1 I only like that old Don Corleon and I hate ending of that movie.

I don't hate it, but I definitely believe There Will Be Blood is overrated. The only truly great thing about it was Day-Lewis's performance. Beyond that, it was eh....



Shutter Island was freaking awful. Some decent performances, but the writing, pacing, characters...atrocious. Telegraphed, trite nonsense a stain on Scorsese's otherwise brilliant career.



Oh, and I hate Lost, leaving some unanswered questions is okay, leaving absurd amounts of unanswered questions WHEN YOU THE WRITER DONT EVEN KNOW THE ANSWERS, is awful. I just quit midway through season 2. It was crap.

[A Killing Sound]

I wasn't a fan of the Godfather movies either.  Actually, that  goes for about 90% of movies that win the academy award for best picture (there are exceptions of course). 
I'm not a fan of any Batman movie after Tim Burton's original.  Same goes for Superman.  Just chalk that up to the fact that I'm not a huge super hero comic/movie fan.

Transformers 2. Absolutely terrible. Yet most people praised it that I know.

But I hate Megan Fox even more. She's everything wrong with the punks and skanks growing up these days.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - I attempted to watch this event once during a Halloween festival; could not last 10 minutes.

The Exorcist - bad reel had wire reveals in it, so much of the film was spent chuckling at the poor effects. But this was simply a movie about a girl that gets a really bad case of the flu; little more.

Titanic - it may be a bad sign when one roots for the ice....

Iron Man II - just finished this one, and am so glad I waited for the rental. If this is considered one of the past years best, I do not seem to be missing much at all. Tis a mystery how they can completely take a great premise in the original and dash it on the rocks below with such frequency. At this rate, The Avengers is as doomed as the most recent film by that name.

[JRCHOharry]

Monty Python films. I don't hate them, I just find them........ Mmmmmmeh. Maybe it's because I don't like John Cleese that much, I don't know.

[Thiefy]

Those parody movies that come out, like "Epic Movie". Most of Jack Black films and films with Seth Rogen.



Does this only include movies that were shown in the theaters or can we include anything that is movie lenght? Cause if so, I'll have to add AKIRA to that too.
