Anything with Ben Stiller -- Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, whatever.

Austin Powers movies

Any gross-out comedies, especially if they involve Tom Green

(admittedly, I've never watched any of these movies in their entirety, but even seeing clips of them annoyed me to no end.)

- STAR FRICKIN WARS (I never got the hype, I never will)
Amen, Stan.

-Pulp Fiction or Reservior Dogs
-Blair Witch Project
-Any James Bond
-Sleepless in Seattle or anything else starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (separate, they're okay...together, they suck)
-My Big Fat Greek Wedding-I'm the only person I know that didn't like this movie, but I thought it was horrible.

Vanilla Sky--too confusing
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back--i think i was more stupid when i walked out of the theater
Unbreakable

There's another movie that I couldn't stand, but I can't think of the name...I'll post when I remember!

Austin Powers
Pulp Fiction

Titanic
Ever After (so lame, so many anacronisms)
Fight Club
Mission Impossible 2 (3 hours of crap)

As for the Monty Python thing, you can "get" the jokes but still not "get" British humour. Its definitely an acquired taste.

I'm gonna be like everyone else and say Titanic. When i took Language of Film, my prof had a hard on for James Cameron, so we had to hear about it alllll semester.

My roommate loves the Royal Tannenbaums, and while i think it's a good movie, i don't share the love for it that he does. Course, he's also the one who loves Kids in the Hall which i can't stand.

Now, if any of y'all say you hate Super Troopers, be prepared to get he-man bitch slapped! :) i LOVE that movie!

KS 361 syrup-chugging contests i'm gonna have with pledges :D

Maybe I'm retarded, but....
all the critics just loved Insomnia. I have never wasted 2 hrs of my life like I did seeing that movie.

Panic Room- SUCKED. That's all I have to say.

THANK YOU! I HATED THAT MOVIE! THE ENDING WAS SO PREDICTABLE!

MysticCat 02-13-2003 04:00 PM

Any of the Austin Powers movies.

Any Woody Allen movie. (I feel like I'm his shrink everytime I watch one.)

And most of all, Forrest Gump -- manipulative to the max!

Dood, the Royal Tannenbaums is a great movie, it has me CTFU everytime.

And Fight Club, another great movie although most females I know didn't like it, maybe it was the fighting and violence? The story is stellar. Not to mention Edward Norton is a great actor.

Dionysus 02-13-2003 04:08 PM

Lord of the Rings movies
Harry Potter movies
Men in Black
Star Wars
ET
Pocahontas
Royal Tannenbaums
Titanic
The Matrix
Charlie's Angels

Stan-
Did you like how everything was so f'ing dramatic???? Jodie reaches for the cell phone in the panic room- 45 mins. She looks out the window....will she or won't she pull up the blinds???....another goddamn 20 mins.
My bf and I left the theater and were like, "Christ I need a drink!!!!"

DeltaSigStan 02-13-2003 04:44 PM

I'm sorry if I give this away, but cmon, I didn't see Forest Whitaker coming back to help Jodie and Kid coming, did you? :rolleyes:

Oh, and cmon, what "bad guy" would help the kid get her insulin.

And, doesn't 911 automaticlly send someone over to check out the house if 911 gets hung up on?

sugar and spice 02-13-2003 05:47 PM

Star Wars

And ditto on the gross-out comedies -- just watching the clips is enough to make me uncomfortable. I can't imagine sitting through an entire movie.

AMEN!!!!!
